I honestly cringe whenever I see any of this garbage with felons on YouTube talking about carrying cap and ballers , all like "you can get them shipped right to your door, and get a conversion cylinder!"Yeah I was shocked how loaded the internet is with felons carrying black powder pistols. It is kind of one of those things that in a way I wish they would just shut up about as that is what our lovely governing body will use to further regulate antique firearms. Once they start learning about conversion cylinders and that Goon's Gun Works guy hopping these bad boys up, then the AFT will have a hay day....lol
I'm like if the day ever comes when the ATF classifies muzzleloaders as licensed firearms a LOT of people are going to be PO'd to the Max. I honestly don't think the ATF is worried about "antique" firearms though , that is very low on the list for them. Trying to "regulate" front stuffers would be impossible now, plus it would destroy Pietta , Uberti and Pedersoli's business because the average gun buyer isn't getting a NICS check for a $200 Pietta .36 Navy, they won't bother. And these companies are owned by bigger companies like Stoeger and Beretta that make "campaign contributions "
The main reason NJ regulates them is because that state is like California and the few others that require a license or background check for cap and ball revolvers, they just blanket everything including pellet guns in NJ. Plus someone shot a gas station attendant in the 1970s with a cap and ball revolver in NJ so they decided you couldn't just buy them anymore.
