Just opening up this email. I'll always use my pump shotgun first. It's all I've ever used

Carl, firstly, as the child of immigrant to another, isn't it great to have all these influences from all the world meat up here, and contribute to the greater America? I am surprised you said you would want your canonical auspices be percussion black powder revolvers. They are cool, but I always thought your true passion is human freedom and dignity, and the protection of these irreplaceable rights of man. Please stay awesome, and keep on keeping on. You are a treasure.

I wasn't thinking philosophically, I guess. Just was mostly having fun with the questions. :)

I honestly think the kindest thing I can say about 2025 is that it leaves a lot of room for improvement xD I'm still holding out hope for a better 2026 though! Stay strong & safe, guys. Love you all <3

The issue of gun ownership vis a vis totalitarianism in the US always seems to get misframed in online discussions, just by how much the US has changed. How does totalitarianism get enforced? By an army. Who was the army at the time of the constitution? The people were the army. The state militias were the army. This was pointed out in the federalist papers. As the army is no longer the people people can't treat the 2nd amendment the same way or if they are looking for the utility of the 2nd amendment, then they have to look historically outside of the 2nd amendment.

J

Thus, you have to return the legitimacy to a system of non-federal state militias and dissolve the regular army or else it will always be outmatched or if it's still the NG it will just get federalized and no governor has the spine to change any of this. No congress would have the spine to dissolve the regular Army

Invoking Karl's name will add time to everyone that shoots after you, as the giant black powder smoke clouds will linger and obscure the targets. True story!

Merwin& Hulbert thats exactly what I was thinking and you're right no way thats happening

Dalbunosky

Well, my question on shotguns was on the idea that the shotgun would replace the rifle and act as the main firearm of the soldier, not just as an additional gun. The aerial warfare part is well established. I was thinking in terms of using the shotgun on enemy soldiers.

Sorry, I guess I misinterpreted your question.

Lever gun in 30-30, no discussion needed. Hope the Edward Abbey colab happens! He's an interesting character. Started reading his stuff back in the 1980s.

I think a new version of a Merwin & Hulbert is feasible when 3d metal printing is both more affordable and precise.

Boozak

Regarding lever guns, have you had a chance to try the Henry Supreme, either in 300 B or 556?

Adrian Colwill

Hi Karl, look on the bright side......YOU and Inrange are still here and you`ll always have followers. Happy New Year.

It's plenty feasible now w/ normal subtractive machining and CNC, the question is, is there a market sufficient to support the price that such limited production would require? Don't forget, part of M-H revolver's popularity was their having reliable [sideways glance at Colt] double-action revolvers at that time, but producing them won't find a ready market today because 1: the technology doesn't measure up to modern swing-out crane designs, which are already a dwindling market & 2: they're ineligible for cowboy-action competition which *requires* single-action only. Nobody is making western films any more like in the 1950s, which led to the whole resurgence of BP shooting & the Italian replicas; if westerns were still popular, that might trigger at least a little demand for them, but as things stand now, they're just a bit of exotica for history buffs...

Bruce Brodnax

None of which changes the fact that an armed populace is the deterrent to tyranny which makes the 2nd Amendment such an essential component of the BofR. POTATUS Biden's nonsensical argument that "You can't fight an F16 with an AR" was semantically null, since #1: any goobermuntz claiming to be that of the USA that would try using M1 Abrams and F16s with their collateral damage on the general populace just - woops! - lost any legitimacy they may have claimed to have. #2: in an active state of insurrection against such an illegitimate display of tyrannical intent, it wouldn't be the ARs shutting down the flight operations and fuel deliveries, it would be the 10-22s w/ homebuilt whisper pickles that would be keeping the steppers holed up in their barracks, bunkers & behind barricades.

Dalbunosky

No problem. I might just re-ask the question in the future if you don't mind.

Wayne S.

It would be another niche market gun that would only sell to those of us willing to fork over thousands of dollars for a pistol. That assumes that metal printing can attain the needed surface finish along with tolerances obviating any hand fitting.

I noticed you and others are not uploading to Rumble, I know the views are disappointing but I sure would like for the industry to help the only seemingly stable platform grow.

Orion

I know I'm so so late to the conversation, but if you're getting back into video games, you should definitely try out S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA! It's a free mod pack that essentially transforms the original games into a AAA sandbox survival horror experience. I completely agree with you about Hunt: Showdown; I want to love it so badly but multiplayer. Competition isn't relaxing for me, even though I enjoy very challenging single-player games.
