Kurt Eichenwald
American Editor
Plenty of gun opponents have pointed out the obvious: that the Founding Fathers could never have envisioned the kinds of 'arms' that exist today - Washington, Jefferson, and the rest had never even seen a bullet. Musket balls for guns that required constant reloading were the 'arms' of the day.
Quote examples
Seth Grahame-Smith
American Author
Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared.
Quote examples
Joshua Chamberlain
American Soldier
Every pioneer and musician who could carry a musket went into the ranks. Even the sick and foot-sore, who could not keep up in the march, came up as soon as they could find their regiments, and took their places in line of battle, while it was battle, indeed.
Quote examples
Charles Krauthammer
American Journalist
A drone is a high-tech version of an old army and a musket. It ought to be used in Somalia to hunt bad guys, but not in America. I don't want to see it hovering over anybody's home.

Nicola Roberts
English Musician
I'm one of four so I'm very family orientated. Me, my sister and my two little brothers are like the four musketeers; it's us against everyone else. We're like a little pack.
Quote examples
Edmund Morgan
American Historian
The musket could not be aimed except in a general direction; a bow in the hands of a skilled archer could regularly hit and kill an enemy completely beyond musket range.

Gary Ackerman
American Politician
Without a musket to raise, a barricade to storm, a flag to wave, the question hit me in the face like the cold air: 'Who am I?

Rosecrans Baldwin
American Novelist
About guns, about hunting, it's safe to say I know nothing. The last gun I fired was a musket at Boy Scout camp.

American Politician
Our freedoms were born in the ideals of the Enlightenment and the musket fires of an historic revolution.
