Is a blackpowder weapon considered a "firearm?"

Feel free to illustrate how I 'said' that.

I support the proposition that being convicted of certain crimes results in the loss of 2nd amendment rights.

I see no reason to make it easier for a convicted criminal to obtain a firearm, I'm not naive enough to believe it prevents them from doing so though.

It's up to an individual's conscience to decide if they'd supply a convicted child murderer with a gun upon their release, (see, the word "child" is in the sentence, so it can't be argued against).

I just assumed you wouldn't support an UNsensible gun law.

I purchased mine from Wally World and walked out the door with it no paperwork involved

You did because they are not considered firearms under ATFE, and do not require a form 4473 or background check. I do not remember the cut off year they are considered firearms, but muzzleloaders are exempt.

About firearms.

Would work in both.

The demonstrators are park volunteers and the rifles belong to the park hence they can be brought in
