That's what Jeremiah Johnson said in response to a question from Del Gue in a movie known to all. My sons-in-law got me to put down my flinters and take up black guns, synthetics, ARs, Steyr bullpups and such. I did this to foster a bond with these boys but I gotta tell ya, all the BS going on in this country with such firearms has raised my blood pressure and made me an angry man. Shooting became a political issue and I became a raving lunatic.
It may be wrong to say, but I quit. I plumb got wore out demonstrating and arguing and feeling enraged and disenfranchised all the time. I'll send 'em my money to help out and I'll write my reps, for all the good that does, but boys, I have gone back to shooting my good ole flinters and I am a happy man for the first time in 3 years.
I love the smell of black powder in the morning, and I sure did miss sitting in the woods with a smoothbore. Nice to be back.
