[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3761302, member: 5412"] I think there isn't a problem with Non serialized firearms. This country has been making them for 250 years. Joe was wrong in many statements. You CAN buy a cannon today and you could buy one back when the constitutional convention was writing the 2A because people made their own or some guy in their community did. Gun makers built guns without serial numbers all the time. A [B]cannon[/B] is a large-[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliber']caliber[/URL] gun classified as a type of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery']artillery[/URL], and usually launches a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile']projectile[/URL] using explosive chemical [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellant']propellant[/URL]. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder']Gunpowder[/URL] ("black powder") was the primary propellant before the invention of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_powder']smokeless powder[/URL] during the late 19th century. Cannons vary in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(firearms)']gauge[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_range']effective range[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobility_(military)']mobility[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_fire']rate of fire[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevation_(ballistics)']angle of fire[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firepower']firepower[/URL]; different forms of cannon combine and balance these attributes in varying degrees, depending on their intended use on the battlefield. A cannon is a type of heavy artillery weapon. The word [I]cannon[/I] is derived from several languages, in which the original definition can usually be translated as [I]tube[/I], [I]cane[/I], or [I]reed[/I]. In the modern era, the term [I]cannon[/I] has fallen into decline, replaced by [I]guns[/I] or [I]artillery[/I], if not a more specific term such as [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howitzer']howitzer[/URL] or [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortar_(weapon)']mortar[/URL], except for high-caliber [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_weapon']automatic weapons[/URL] firing bigger rounds than machine guns, called [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocannon']autocannons[/URL]. This definition doesn't define what actually is a cannon. It only says a large caliber gun but doesn't specify what is a large caliber? I know a couple of people that own cannons some will shoot 12" projectiles or larger. Prior to 1968, serial numbers were not a legal requirement. Many hundreds of thousands were made without one, especially the inexpensive .22 rifles, single shot shotguns and small “pocket” pistols. Is joe going to come after someone that has one of those "ghost guns"? This entire debacle is nothing more than another attempt to gain control of legal gun owners. The criminals have zero issues with obtaining guns that have been stolen and have been making "ghost" guns since the gun was invented. Zip guns, Pipe guns, and a host of other designs that were designed by criminals to be used once and discarded that aren't tracible. I'm sure some of our alphabet agencies are very familiar with them. The Same ones fighting to take away our rights. [/QUOTE]
