Gun Control & RKBA

yagotme: 100 gunsmiths, 1 year, 150 guns per, 15,000 guns. How long did the colonists have gunsmiths? Decades?

Faulty premise, 15,000 too high an estimate. Some gunsmiths made only a dozen per year, only when an order was placed.
Lucky if the colonies saw 2,000 new firearms in one year, prior to 1700 maybe.

Tenche Coxe - every man should be armed - was a gun dealer, sold firearms to both the militia & individuals, post war.
Buy one today, get a half pound of powder free.
He actually was sued iirc, for selling faulty muskets. or was it rifles. or pistols.

Hmmm. Italics not working today. nor emboldening.
