Bizarre submersible found floating off New York City...

It was a replica of a revolutionary war wooden semi-submersible. So
floating around in a public navigable waterway in what is little more than an
oddly-shaped wooden rowboat is now somehow a crime? The terrorists have won!
We now live in a country where the slightest odd behavior is a crime.


If a replica of the "Turtle" is terrorist then a replica of a
flintlock probably is too


I believe that muzzle loading weapons are excepted from the federal
gun control laws. They classify a Walther .22 cal pistol as an
assault weapon but you can own a percussion, 44 cal muzzle loader. I
wonder what Abe Lincoln would think about that.
