Yeah, maybe, but at least (A) he put it in the Corner, and (B) it's the funniest reposted thing, ever. ps - I claim credit for the first post witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Kev, to my knowledge, no Supreme Court has ruled precisely on the exact line for the Second Amendment (no balancing act, no simple test). According to Miller, only weapons applicable to the militia are protected, and "sporting firearms" are not. (try telling THAT to VPC or Brady) That would mean short barrels, burst fire, unlimited mags, etc are not to be messed with by the government. Of course, anti gun people don't like to let laws get in their way, but that's another discussion. Also, regulated, as understood by the framing fathers, meant 'in good working order, properly funcitoning, orderly,' as Jeffrey correctly pointed out. edit: My understanding is that 2nd A was meant to recognize the right of the populace to be armed in a similar way to infantry of the Army. Today, as I see it, that would mean rifles equal to the M-4, SAWs, the M-278(number?) grenade launcher. I don't know which side of the line an RPG would fall on, but on must admit that few militias can operate without them. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Yeah, because that's relevant to the conversation. ...like the references to AK-47s and UZIs aren't bad enough, now you want to talk about anti-tank ordinance. The ban is about SEMI-AUTO witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

OK, so there's about two weeks left. Does anyone know what the House and Senate have planned? I know there are pending bills in each (some that extend it, some that make it slightly less disgusting, some that will ban everything, some for ten years, some make it permanent, etc). Is there any mention of it in the calendar? Has anything happened lately other than more lies in news clips and news articles? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Welcome to the free enterprise system. That's the only reason we have such good medical opportunities, it companies develope them in the expectation that it will make them money. Just one more example how greed is a good thing. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

There, that subject fits quite a bit better, doesn't it. Or is it ok to smear people who served because some two-faced democrat has an attack of conscience about doing a "favor" for someone who never asked? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Can we put a first name on this POS? I mean, I hate him as much as you guys, maybe more, but you're really trashing my family name. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

When do you think Kerry will "do the right thing" and ask MoveOn, ACT, et al to shut up and butt out? edit: and when do you think he'll do the other "right thing," and fire all the people working both for him and for the 527s? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

How would the state FOID have helped? (Illinois requires every gun owner have a Firearm Owners Ident) The FBI and ATF ad no problem with him buying, as evidenced by his passing a NICS check. And that's where the straw buyer (a guy who purchases with intent to resell w/o notifying the dealer) should have been identified, arrested, prosecuted, and jailed. There is a method of tracing every FFL gun purchase (Federal Firearms License - what every gun dealer must have). The ATF does it on a regular basis. (and anti-gun people misuse that information on a regular basis) Some states to require FOID type cards. They provide no beneficial effects, other than (A) a tax on gun buyers, (B) a convenient list of people to harass when bad things happen, and (C) a convenient list when the state goverment decides to confiscate guns. In most states, however, a drivers license, an SS number, and a little personal information is all you need to buy a gun (other than cash or credit ). witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Um, Kev, the article says it was a settlement, not a finding by a jury. If he knew about the illegal resales, I say throw his ass in the defendants chair in front of a criminal trial jury. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

See, now there I disagree with you. If the shop owner had any idea he was selling to a straw purchaser, he should be prosecuted and given the maximum. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Gun dealer A sells gun to straw buyer B, who sells to drug dealer Dumbass. Dumbass leaves gun under car and kid 1 shoots kid 2. Liquor wholesaler A sells to Bar B, who sells to Drunkard Dumbass. Dumbass drives home and hits someone on the way there. You go after the Dumbass, and the person who sold to them illegaly. Would you go after the wholesaler? edit: Yes, Kev, the B is breaking the law in both cases, serving a drunk and selling to a felon witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

So if a bartender does that, do you sue the liquor wholesalers? In your analogy, the strawbuyer is the bartender (who is guilty in both cases), and the gun dealer is the liquor wholesaler. (make my last post say liquor wholesaler, instead of liquor maker, then tell me what you think) witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

No, this is like holding Anheuser Busch responsible if you leave a bar drunk and drive yourself home, hitting someone along the way. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

What I want to know is are they prosecuting the hell out of that POS who's been selling to felons? That CS SOB is responsible. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

What? Then why do they bend over backwards to make sure that prisoners are not classified so that they are covered by the Geneva convention? Umm... could be because the prisoners ARE NOT COVERED by the Geneva Conventions. Show me where they fit into the conventions, please.

Thankfully we know this won't hold up on appeal. edit: based on FL, CA, and IL experiences I think the best example of one of these idiotic lawsuits was when someone sued a gun used in crime, with three intermediary sales, when the manufacturer sold it to a POLICE DEPARTMENT. Yeah, gun makers should know that a gun they sell to the cops will be used in a crime, and just not do it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
