Hope there will be a lucrative mrket for contraband hammer, mine are for sale for the right price, no questions asked, cash only and nothing larger than a double sawbuck.

Fortunately, I have got a good supply of hammers, before the rush starts on hoarding them. I do have to check the laws concerning interstate carrying. Also, when buying hammers out of state, do I have to have them shipped to an individual with a FHL ? (Federal Hammer License)

You mean those fine, antique hammers with the carefully oiled and refinished hickory and ash stocks?

Did I mention the shortage of 8d and 16d sinkers?

Well, we have been having some fun with this, but I suspect that when all history is accounted far more unlucky souls have been dispatched by a solid hit on the head than firearms

Bludgeoning has been a leading cause of violent deaths.

Probably the first weapon other than a rock was a hammer. Also a very effective tool for large animal slaughter. The place in a slaughterhouse where Elsie begins her trip to steak is known as the "knock."
