No, you need a bigger gun for them. That is just a marketing slogan.
Not even them. It was a low power round that was later used in pistols like the popular Colt Peacemaker. It just wasn’t well suited for hunting large game like buffalo.
“Won the west” is just a Winchester marketing slogan with not a lot of justification other than it was popular.
Every article I’ve clicked on to find out what the choices were, was paywalled or required I turn off my ad blocker (which is annoying). Does anyone have a list of the six choices? I was able to see they picked the Winchester Model 1873.

Thank you.
For the benefit of others who had my problem, the firearms were:
- Winchester Model 1894 (.30-30)
- Winchester Model 1973 (.44-40)
- Colt Single Action Model 1873 (.45 Colt)
- M-1 Garand (.30-06)
- Colt M1911 (.45 ACP)
- Remington Model 700 (.30-06)
I think the Winchester Model 1873 is a good choice. The Remington 700 is also a good choice for a state known for hunting, but the Winchester seems more historic to me.
(Idaho Liberal here) It was suggested to me that it was put on the ballot to trick liberals into writing in sarcastic/insulting alternatives, thus unwittingly invalidating their ballot.
I heard that as well. Sadly, there is no need to do that since liberals don’t stand a chance of coming close to doing anything meaningful like restoring some semblance of women’s rights. Idaho didn’t get a drop of the blue tsunami on it.
blue states should make the AK-47 the official state gun. just to fuck with people.
Maybe. It made me look up the ballot ahead of time to see if it had a write in spot.
Hijack/ What made me want to alter my ballot was seeing Phil Hart’s name on it. That POS built his house, made of logs stolen off of school property , near me. Perfect Republican thief and grifter.
I bet you know he is also a graduate of the Wharton School. It seems all their graduates end up as political con men.
The BEST people!
In the next election, California Democrats will boost turnout with a measure asking voters to choose between Peter Gunn, “The Naked Gun”, Guns N’Roses, and George Clinton’s Bop Gun.
Alternate joke:
In the next election, California Democrats will boost turnout with a measure asking voters to choose an official State bong.
Most bipartisan measure ever in CA.

Give the last half dozen posts or so, as well as the poor fit/structure of the OP for a Politics & Elections thread, I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. @Kitten_Mitten, feel free to reply to my DM or flag the thread for any P&E mod to re-open in the Pit if you like.
