Seems like an ordinary shotgun to me. But, I suspect, most of those ranting don't give a second's thought to giving their teenager several hundred horsepower either !

Early firearms training is generally cited by these young participants as a key element in improving their life skills and academic performance.

TO REMEMBER |

These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
