so why did the mods delete my post? i feel as if it was up to the topic of the fourms, i was questioning, the arms, artillery and equipment that was used in this time period of the civil war and the prior revolutionary war... guess the 2nd ammendment is a no no conversation around here.. and instead you guys would rather talk about which tent post is the correct for the era... than a real topic that is part of out natural born rights... i was just looking for some info to add to the letters i write to my local Representatives and senators and state attorney general when 2nd ammendment issues come up and for my own knowledge, and interest in the era and issues at hand.
