      I own both modern black rifles but also older wood and blued steel rifles and I've never seen gun owners who like old firearms as fudds. To me, fudds are gun owners who are willing to throw other gun owners (mostly those who like black rifles, handguns, etc.) under the bus in order to save THEIR guns.

      @tylerwilliams6022 Рік тому +24

      ​​@@kutter_ttl6786Bingo! As I got older my tastes varied to everything from AKs/ARs to black powder single shots. With my favorites being WWII to Vietnam era small arms, especially sniper rifles.
      The problem I have is with old world thinking such as "You don't need a semi auto." Or "Only someone who can't shoot accurately would hunt with a semi auto." (Here in PA we are slowly getting into semi auto hunting being allowed).
      Gun owners should come together as a whole, or they will pick us all off one by one. Just because your field of firearm interest is more widely accepted doesn't mean you can shit on my choices.
      A muzzle loader isn't any less deadly than the newest popular wiz bang.

    Back in the early 90s as a young man I had been gifted a Sharps trap door 45-70, and there were around 7 other guns in my collection that weren’t very expensive but valuable to me. My home burned down in 97 when I was 15, and it was a total loss. I’ve since acquired a nice collection, but it’s mostly modern stuff

    Fun fact: automatic pistols, the 9×19mm cartridge, and even the modern box magazine all trace their lineage to Sharps Rifle Company.
    Hugo Borchardt and James Lee were both employed at Sharps and designed a few single shot rifles. Lee started tinkering with a bolt action rifle with a detachable box magazine he'd invented. That rifle would gradually evolve into the Lee Enfield rifle. Borchardt took Lee's design for a magazine and applied it to his groundbreaking Borchardt pistol, the first commercially produced automatic pistol, the first to feed from a detachable magazine and also the first to put that magazine in the grip. That pistol would evolve into the Luger which went on to influence every modern pistol. The bottlenecked 30 caliber cartridge for it was designed by Georg Luger himself and when the German government said they wanted something bigger he blew out the neck to invent the 9×19
