And the PSH to close the "Musket Loophole" begins..

Glaring loophole in St. John's rifle incident


The Eyewitness News Investigators make a startling discovery. The rifle police say the gunman at St. John's University was carrying is not considered to be a firearm under federal or state law.

Wow, they're quick. Anyone who's ever shopped at Rural King would know that.

Four months later, the 22-year-old student traveled to Dutchess County and bought this weapon without any background check. Remember, the attorney says since it was an antique, he didn't need one.

"We're undermined by weak laws elsewhere and this simply must be changed," said Jackie Kuhls, executive director for New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. "

"Weak laws" as compared to over 40 other states.

So exactly what act of violence did he commit? How many drive by musketings have there been in the last century?

Reminds me of the "Amish Drive-by" joke:

Clip Clop Clip Clop BANG Clip Clop Clip Clop
