Yep, we sure wouldn't want to confiscate the trucks used by the nice helpful folks who smuggle illegal aliens and drugs across our borders. BAB BAD BAD BAD Obama for wanting to punish those engaged in human and drug trafficking.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Lucky... 0 #28 September 29, 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>unlike you, I disagree with the provisions in a few of these pieces of legislation, things such as making it an offense to possess, produce or transfer a .50cal bullet a felonius act. I didn't read them and didn't comment on them, so how can you say I disagree with them? Why do you insist on misstating my assertions? So this is Illinois State legislation and you think it would fly federally? It probably wouldn't fly on a state level upon appeal. I read the Bill you posted, all I saw was this: (iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; Nothing for .50 cal. There already is a fed law to my understanding that you can own up to .50 cal, larger for muzzle-loaders. SO I'm not sure that this is a new thing, just a mimicking of fed law. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Do some more reading as to what he tried to pass, you may consider that he is very comfortable with taking away rights, or making citizens a felon even with having committed an act of violence, or harming anyone at all. Clean your own windows. Look at your boy, Bush. He has trampled upon the US Const in so many ways. Whatever Obama does after elected will be scrutinized by so many people in all 3 branches, so I wouldn't worry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
