In fact, there's apparently been a run on single-shot muskets at the city's pawn shops.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/07/12/11_murder_weekend.php#comment-26773 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/07/12/11_murder_weekend.php#comment-26773 Comments Mon, 12 Jul 2004 20:38:23 -0500 <p>I hate "trackbacks"</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/07/12/11_murder_weekend.php#comment-26772 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/07/12/11_murder_weekend.php#comment-26772 Comments Mon, 12 Jul 2004 13:18:59 -0500 <p>I'm with Yojimbot on this one.
