Title: Revolutionary War cannons found in Savannah River
Post by: Perd Hapley on April 01, 2022, 04:17:35 PM: Several British cannon used in the Revolutionary War were dredged out of the Savannah River. Mr. Biden will be pleased to know they were government-owned.

The story says they were in the wreckage of British ships that were scuttled to block the path of French naval forces.

:rofl:

Of course, the British wantonly throwing cannons into our waterways is why we're paying more for gasoline!

That was a good one ! :rofl:

But the ATF being involved?

Huh.

Did they figure out some goomizigah convoluted leegil reasoning to bring black powder muzzle loaders under their jurisdiction, too?

And it doesn't take even a single pull of the trigger to fire one of those cannons.

Huh.

No, but they're specifically configured for ~~rapid fire~~ sequential discharge with a thumb in your belt loop.
