The Colorado Republican told The Daily Beast she and her husband were surprised last week to receive notice from their landlord, a cannabis retailer, that their lease for Shooters would not be renewed after the building's ownership changed hands last month, and the lawmaker said they would have to find another location or close for good.

"She didn't explain exactly why her business was being kicked out," the website reported. "A person familiar with the arrangement said the property manager felt he had a 'moral' imperative to close the business, and had planned to lease the space to another restaurant."

Boebert repeatedly denied there was a political motivation to the sudden threat to her business, but county records show the deed transfer from father to son went through two days after the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School massacre in Uvalde, Texas, and the same day the lawmaker made news for remarking that "we didn't ban planes" after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

What a great reason (and great line) for removing them. That is some beautiful karma for that skank
 
Look at you guys embracing firearm history!



The pucklegun, a forefather to the gatling gun, had been invented.

It used a multi-round self contained magazine. Wheras a gatling gun is belt fed.
But was hardly used due to cost and ineffectiveness and only fired 9 rounds per minute which was only slightly better than a trained soldier. Oh, and it wasn't a Gatling gun.

But it did however exist...


You are correct that by saying "gatling" it was incorrect. The gatling patents hadn't come out.

It also had to be mounted on a tri-pod because it was too big and heavy for one person to operate.

Point of the argument is that the founding fathers could not have anticipated the types of arms we now have available nearly 250 years into the future.

So did the gatling gun.

Yes they could. Firearm technology at the time was the modern equivalent of computer/ automotive/ battery tech today. It was the talk of the day, it was the lifeline.

Da Vinci designed a model of a helicopter and gliders. So maybe Trump’s comments about airfields in the Revolutionary War wasn’t dumb.

Drawings on paper and a working unit are different.



Feel free to grill her ass on semantics though, she was by definition, incorrect.

Not really it did not advance at nearly the rate of computers.

In my lifetime of 39 years and 11 months we have gone from the internet not really being a thing to watching just about any damn movie or TV show you want over the internet. From very few people having computers to nearly everyone having them and many people having mulitple computers. From a phone being something that plugs into a wall that you call someone with to a phone being something you put in your pocket the functions as a flashlight, GPS, computer, personal planner, and of course as a phone.

Firearms did not progress nearly that quickly.

Look at the American Rebellion to the American Civil War . . . 80 years an entire lifetime. In that time what changed in terms of small arms? We got the Minnie ball and the percussion cap. The minnie ball greatly improved the accuracy of the firearms and the percussion cap improved it's reliability. But that's it. In the space of 80 years most personal arms were still single shot weapons.

The real revolution in firearms technology really started just after the civil war. Circa 1880 to the 1930's. In that space of time you go to self contained cartridges becoming standard, to advances that eventually allow handheld weapons to engage in automatic fire. After that you have some slow development expending automatic fire to rifles.

But the revolution of technology in firearms was not happening in the 1770's, 1780's and 1790's. There was no way for them to visualize their development.

What I'm saying is there was no other technology to focus on and discuss at the time. Educated and wordly people at the time certainly knew the tech.
 
They knew what tech existed, they had no idea what would come in 200 years.

Quite frankly there is no way for anyone to know what is going to come in 200 years.
I've always wanted a light saber and laser pistol. Watched Star Wars way too many times I guess.
