So, now you echo the infamous Jefferson quote. One problem. He never said that. (you're free to contact the Thomas Jefferson Foundation to confirm - they have nothing that states he said that). It was written by John Barnhill in 1914. The way the Constitution protects against tyranny is Separation of Powers. “Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct.” ~James Madison. You've really got to stop using YouTube, Rumbl, Breitbart and other supposed media outlets to make your arguments and try picking up a book. Or two, or three.

For sure BIGUN is our best thought leader on gun/second amendment/political action issues here on SC. While we all have our own iterations, interpretations, definitions, and desires I would happily, no eagerly, give my vote to him and sleep easily.

Hi Robert, Maybe it is like one's first love, you never really forget her. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, IMO one of the nuttiest arguments out there is that, 'I need my guns to protect me from the government.' As if the gov't. did not have more & greater firepower. The fantasies that people live in, You wonder if they have ever actually seen a SWAT vehicle? Jerry Baumchen

They were not certain the DNA was Cooper's... (likely belongs) that means not matching does not really eliminate.

You're going to need thermonuclear devices, long range missiles, satellites, MANY highly advanced technical jet fighters.....oh never mind. It's laughable people still think this way. Like January 6 had any chance of succeeding. At least it was a hell of an eye opener.

To clarify that a bit more, Georger, having the wrong ripcord will not result in a packed rig that you cannot open. It would result in not being able to get the container closed in the first place, as the ripcord pins would not match where the container pack closures are. If they were close enough to get it closed, then pulling it would get it open.

Egg Harbour suspect identified.. Fred Angelo Catalano

Yes, we're both going off the same item numbers. Pure titanium with that much antimony sticks out like a sore thumb. The specialized metals industry moved away from creating TiSb alloys in the late 50's and moved to TiSn alloys, which are much more efficient and easy to mass produce. Ulis figured out that Rem-Cru was one of the companies creating TiSb alloys in the 1950's and he just started with them. However, other companies were doing that as well in the 50's. So our team looked at the research departments of those companies like TIMET, DuPont, Batelle, Wa Chang. We weren't getting anywhere and there was still the nagging issue of how would something from the 50's end up on 1964+ clothing. Then after an exhaustive search of the patent databases, Broer ended up only finding two patents during the tie era that showed someone creating alloys by compounding TiSb.* One was Sprague Electronics out of Massachusetts. Their patent also ended up just being an experimental patent and was never put into any product, so it never left the lab. Then there was the Milton Vordahl patent from 1965. So that led us back to checking out Rem-Cru. Our team built an exhaustive list of everyone we could find who worked in the R&D department at Rem-Cru from 1955 until NORJAK. We went through the list and used Ancestry and obituaries and whatever to vet these individuals. What we were looking for primarily were men from the PNW and military men. Literally the only individual of all these names who had PNW ties was Vordahl himself. Then in researching him many things began to click (aviation knowledge, anti-social behavior, knowledge of the area, etc) and it was like a month into it that we found a photo of the guy and felt the resemblance was close enough to warrant further consideration. Had he looked like Chris Farley or something or if his measurements on his draft card didn't fit certain parameters we'd have moved on. What Eric did was quite a bit different. We gave him the name and number of the only guy still living on this list and Eric called him and asked who he worked with who was tall and about 50 in 1971 and the guy said it sounds like you're describing Vince Petersen. So we ended up coming to our suspects via the same origin but through different methods. Also, if you're wanting the particles to match the patent that's a fools errand. The patent doesn't call for a specific formula, plus even if it did have a specific formula we'd have no way of knowing when in the experimentation process those particles got on the tie. The takeaway from the patent is that it allows up to 18% antimony and the antimony readings on those particlesare 16.8%, 16.9%, and 17%. The next highest antimony count on the whole spreadsheet is 10% and it only shows up with 5% titanium, so it obviously can't be an alloy. Personally, I'm not sure if Petersen ever would have come into contact with this patent. He and Vordahl worked at different research labs for Rem-Cru. Vordahl worked at their Midland lab and Petersen at their Robinson lab. Also, as I believe Kaye has pointed out, the patent holder themselves would probably be the only person coming into contact with the patent materials if it was just an experimental patent that was never developed or produced, which is what this was. *major caveat being that just because something doesn't show up in a patent doesn't mean other people weren't messing around with it, but the patents are as good of a lead as any since it means we know unequivocally that these individuals were working with it.

In case you haven't heard, Mister Douglas landed at the Deland municipal Airport last Sunday at approximately 3:30 pm from Tennessee. She's back.

You are lying again. At this point, do you think anyone here believes anything you say?

Hi Robert, Dershowitz, the self-appointed know-it-all. Jerry Baumchen

I'm guessing that someone in the FBI is reading the forums. This latest release as the Shelton lead, EHS, a blurb on Sheridan Peterson, DNA stuff, etc. I still need to read through the rest. EDIT: Duane Weber DNA tested too.

I can see why they might be interested in Catalano. He bears a close resemblance to KK5-1.

Ye, trump's misunderstood dinner buddy has a new first. The first celebrity banned from twitter by Musk. Evidently his dinner conversation(spreading hate) spread into Ye's twits. "The post came hours after an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, in which West sparked outrage by declaring his “love” of Nazis and admiration for Adolf Hitler." No wonder trump loves Kanye so much. Ye's twit below: No image of Slim King with his hood was available at posting.

Fred Catalano, sixth from the end.

This Arthur Denham guy that they went to all this trouble to DNA test was 5'9, blue eyes, and was 38 at time of NORJAK. FBI was in love with these young kid suspects apparently.

Gossett ruled out by DNA?

Langseth DNA is excluded... Blue eyes.. Not Cooper,, red herring.

Shelton suspect named.. Jason T. Langseth FBI did DNA test. Also got Duane Weber's items for DNA test..

That is it.. can't be. That isn't evidence.. It is a 50 year old claim that he gave directions to somebody claimed to be a friend of Cossey.. So, there is no evidence Peca/Reca even knew Cossey let alone colluded with Cossey.. of course we know it is false because Cossey didn't supply the back chutes, Hayden did, Cossey just happened to have packed them 6 months earlier. But, what about the dates Reca/Peca was in Wa.. he left Mi and his family after the robbery,, when was that and when did he return to MI,, is there any proof or is it just another baseless claim.

Build the wall!!! (Around Mar-a-Lago).

And of course you are correct. It is hard to see how that can happen though. The SCOTUS has ruled on the meaning of the words and is unlikely to rule in a way that makes meaningful change possible. That leaves an even more unlikely amendment to the constitution as the other possible solution. And I agree with your quotation makes. It is not a straight left-right issue, but we need some way to divide up the teams.

Look a squirrel... Answer the questions,, what is the evidence to back up your claims.. Your claims are based on unfounded claims of others..

Cheap jumps? Good luck with that.

Penn & Teller are from this time period. If you're trying to use the "Well Regulated" meant "Well Organized" argument - I'm not even sure where that originated. The colonialists (the people) were the militia and not any part of a standing army (which caused Hamilton great concern for the US to have one - but we do). In his Federalist Papers No. 29, he outlines all "three sides" of the coin. The militia, a standing army and the people. "Well Regulated" meant training to a military standard. It was proposed, that the people from each state would gather once or twice a year and train to military standards, but make no mistake they were "the people" of each state - not a paid military. In fact, they could be made to support another state in the event that other state were invaded by a standing army. There is an ongoing myth about what the forefathers "meant" about a "well regulated" militia and "the people" being separate by a single comma. "The people" were "the militia." The right to bear arms was to allow the people to support the militia UNTIL a more formalized militia could be developed at a later date to protect these US from a standing (foreign) army. If you don't believe the government can regulate weapons and ammo, then how has the NFA stood as a law for so long. Did you know that the Supreme Court didn't acknowledge individual gun ownership as a right until 2008. 219 years after the US Constitution was adopted. If you don't think the US can ban certain weapons, then why is there still a ban on gravity knives. Why is there still a law on who can or can't own machine guns and a rather lengthy "well-regulated" process to own one. Having said all that, I personally, don't like the "left's" attack on the 2nd Amendment, but I also don't like the "right's" belief that gun ownership comes without some form of responsibility or accountability, or regulation. The "left" needs to agree to leave the 2nd Amendment alone and the "right" needs to agree that children getting killed in school warrants regulation of firearms to prevent it from happening again. We claim to be morally superior to other countries - let's start with protecting children from even having to have "active shooter" programs by regulating ownership - not banning guns, but banning nut jobs from owning guns AND ensuring everyone who owns a weapon gets the proper training as Hamilton outlined as "the People" being "Well Regulated."
