Talk me out of it!

So I saw a pretty gun at the gunshow, and now I think I need it.

It was waaaaay cool - a black powder pirate's gun with the rounded, wooden grip. Purty engraving.

Then I saw an American Revolution reproduction - black powder again - something-or-other. Lots of gold (gold-tone! prolly turns your finger green!) - ooooo, shiney.

I do not need a black powder gun . . I do not need a black powder gun . . I do NOT need . .
