I stole this from the doublegun bbs.
. Last year I was shocked when I couldn't purchase .450 BPE 3 1/4" Brass from Buffalo Arms because they were complying with a Massachusetts law that prohibited them from shipping any part which could be used in making a bullet into Massachusetts.
Well, there's a new one. Earlier this evening while buying some muzzleloading items I tried to purchase some lead balls from Cabela's and was informed that they could not ship me lead balls that could be used in a muzzleloading firearm, in compliance with a Massachusetts law that prohibited such.
I have no idea when this "law" was passed but you can bet I will research this further.
LEAD BALLS!!!! I must admit I naively thought that the blackpowder world would continue to be accepted as non-threatening in the overall scheme of the GUN "debates". The lesson learned is NEVER assume anything associated with weaponry as it is all being attacked by nitwits.
I mean, LEAD BALLS!!!
