Possible "public sale" ban on black powder...

[hatcha]

The last thing I was to do is start anything political, so bearing that in mind - has anyone else read anything on the suggestion (following the Boston "bombings") that black powder for re-loading should be banned from sale to The Public?

Tagged on to that, there was also mention of how finished ammunition could be broken down to get at the black powder inside it and a possible ban on selling that might be sought for too.

How would something like this affect the muzzle-loaders among you?

Black powder is already hard to get without buying a case at a time. The powder in bullets and shotgun shels is not blackpowder. I'm glad I've been stocking up on Black Pwder when I can buy it by the can.

 I guess Pressure cookers and fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) will been banned soon, also.

(ammonium nitrate) isnt that the same stuff thats in chicken and other fouls manure ?
if so we better ban them too.
pretty soon youll have to be a criminal to have anything thats hunting related.

Stores out east are all ready removing presure cookers from their selves !

When pressure cookers are outlawed ....only outlaws will have pressure cookers!!

I heard that no law-abiding citizen has any reason to own a "high capacity" 8 or 12 quart pressure cooker.  Better limit them to the 2 quart size.

Another knee jerk reaction by our know nothing politicians.
The bombers got the powder by emptying fireworks.

I have not heard of any effort to ban either black powder or pressure cookers as a result of the Boston bombing. And I don't expect we will...

[Buffalogobbler]

I could be wrong and please correct me if I am, but I think it was Harry Reed who is introducing a bill to limit the sale of black powder, before all of the facts are known and just days after the Boston bombing.

I used a 10 qt pressure cooker to can quart jars of deer I had shot with a blackpowder rifle.  They better spell my name right on that watch list.
