a for effort, c+ for execution but the effort is still appreciated
The people who wrote 2A would have been suffering from a severe lack of imagination if they couldn't conceive of modern assault rifles. The Continental Congress investigated procuring Belton flintlocks for the entire army. Belton claimed his rifles were capable of firing up to twenty rounds in rapid succession with a single trigger pull.
The Austrian army at the time was outfitted with Girardoni air rifles, and one would be carried by Lewis and Clarke across the continent. The Girardoni had a twenty round tubular magazine under the barrel that fed rounds by pointing the rifle upwards and pressing a button. A full twenty rounds could be reloaded in seconds from additional tubes that were dumped into the front of the magazine.
While the actual mechanics would be difficult to work out, it takes little imagination to think of a rifle that could fire as rapidly as the Belton with the reloading speed of a Girardoni.
What they failed to conceive of was that the people would let themselves get so pussified that they wouldn't even bother to murder their government before we got to where we currently are. Real talk. We had all the tools. We let them take it from us. That's collective 'we' and more applies to our ancestors, for the record. But, yeah, we fucked up along the way.
Such fucking cool pieces of history.
I mean, this had potential, but you just had to mess it up by making it about your pet nonsense.
"Congress couldn't begin to imagine the civic illiteracy of the average modern woman when it wrote the 19th Amendment."
There, you're welcome.
Congress knew full well how vile and civically uneducated women were before the 19th. They wanted that…..
Yup. Imp hates women so much he often can't see the forest for the trees.
Not great. Good point but the delivery needs work.
