Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

According to Justice Thomas, only gun laws existing from 1781 to 1865 are legal. Inferring that only flintlock & percussion firearms are legal for ordinary citizens to possess. One of the more modern being Wild Bill Hickok’s Navy Colt Revolver

“Thomas writes that courts should determine whether a modern-day gun regulation fits within the nation’s historical traditions by drawing ‘historical analogies’ to early American gun laws.”
Thomas’s opinion suggests that these analogies may need to be drawn to laws that existed in 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified; or that they may need to be drawn to laws that existed in 1865 — when the Fourteenth Amendment, which requires states to comply with the Second Amendment, was ratified."

“In any event, there are fairly obvious reasons why it is hard to draw reliable analogies between modern-day regulations and laws from earlier centuries."

New York State Rifle v. Bruen is poorly reasoned. But its implications are potentially catastrophic.

So is the most modern type of firearm that ordinarily Americans can carry a percussion cap like Wild Bill Hickok’s Colt Navy Revolver?

“Wild Bill’ Hickok's favorite guns were a pair of Colt 1851 Navy Model (.36 caliber) cap-and-ball revolvers. They had ivory grips and nickel plating, and were ornately engraved with "J.B. Hickok–1869" on the backstrap. He wore his revolvers butt-forward in a belt or sash (when wearing city clothes or buckskins, respectively), and seldom used holsters; he drew the pistols using a "reverse", "twist", or cavalry draw, as would a cavalryman.^[9]As Marshal of Hays, Hickok had a Adams and Deane percussion .44-caliber pistol”
