So, according to the EPA, the only threat posed by shooters is to themselves if using an inddor range without proper ventilation.

Also, to quote the site you linked to I wouldn't call that bigoted, I would call that a fairly common view. ' You want to tell me that didn't happen and isn't happening? What, the country doesn't have European roots? So racism is ok as long as it's going the other way? What happened to MLK's teaching that 'we don't want or need your help,' is that gone? That site is so PC, socialist, and racist that I have not the words to express my disgust. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

So everyone with an accent is unsuited to hold public office? I have to say considering he had an accent even in his own country (imagine deep Louisiana bayou) his mastery of English is commendable. I respect anyone who speaks English better than I speak their language. I agree Buchanan has some "interesting" views on how much the government should be involved here at home, but read his foreign policy pieces. He is very astute. Hell, if I were Pres, he would be on the short list for Sec State. So all actors are unqualified for public office and setting policy?

Quite simply because tests done by real scientists have shown no appreciable levels of lead in the water table surrounding ranges. Lead pollution is a serious concern. Now show me where lead from a range is affecting the environment. Well, since no harm is shown by ranges operating normally, and they follow all laws, what is there for them to take responsibility for? They are doing more than they should reasonably be required to do because (A) shooters care more about the environment than the average citizen and (B) it's their hope they might shut up the anti-gunners for a while. I'd say a good faith effort is more than enough when there is no demostrated harm. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Do you have any evidence showing that this was bought or made after March of last year, or are you just automatically assuming that something else is Bush's fault, too? Old binary style, does that sounds like itwas made less than 15 months ago?

So tell me, what exactly makes Schwartzenegger or Buchanan a clown? Or even Reagan for that matter.

I worked in Northern Virginia for a while, and I worked one project that couldn't have been 5 miles from Dulles Airport. If it were 10-20 miles in any direction, the houses would have gone for $800,000 to $1.5 million. As is was, they were selling around $450,000, and it was the only project that didn't have people lining up to buy them. While talking with the super about a scheduling conflict (my fault), we overheard a couple tlaking to their realtor, asking about a lawyer. I brought it to his attention, and he said, yeah, he gets noise complaints all the time, and buyers bitching to him about why can't the airport fly somewhere else. If the airport changes their flight lanes, then maybe a lawsuit if you're lawyer happy. Or if you think you have a better idea than what they are doing now, sure, let them know. BUT WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON SUING FOR EVERYTHING?!? Oh yeah, beacuse it's too damn easy to not do it. Lawsuits are just too appealing. You can just threaten to sue someone, and they might buckle just from fear of defense fees. There is no penalty for these assholes who make a living suing (or threatening to sue) anyone they see. More and more, the courts seem like a waste of everyone's time and money. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

YOU and they can call it whatever you want, but if they are involved in giving money to candidates (which they are), if they are involved in political lobbying (which they are) and if they are this concerned with legislation (which clearly they are), then, uh, it's a PAC. The NRA Foundation is not a PAC. The Foundation is a charity arm of the NRA. They do not give money to candidates or lobby politicians. The NRA is very adamant about following the myriad of laws concerning their finances and fund raising. Let me give you an example (I will leave out the education, training, conservation, and range improvement programs). The NRA ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) is focussed on passing legislation supported by the NRA. The NRA Foundation is a charity. Calling it anything else is an insult to charities everywhere. The NRA PVF (Political Victory Fund) is focussed on getting candidates supported by the NRA elected to office. etc, etc, etc quade, you know better than to get your information from the evening news. Just because a network says the NRA is nothing but a bunch of lobbyists, that doesn't make it so. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Try to follow me quade. Some people hate guns in all their forms and uses. They want guns gone forever (we'll ignore how impossible that is for now). However, since they can't attain their goal immediately, they are going after everything one piece at a time: CCW, AWB, .50 cal bans, certain hunting seasons, etc. They are also going after shooting ranges because of some half-assed junk science threat of lead (they also went after lead shot in shotgun shells with no evidnece of harm done by the shot). So, if you want to trust the government to go after people, should you not tell them what they CAN do to avoid lawsuits? Why not have the state version of the EPA tell them what they can do to avoid harm, and as long as they do it, tell them they won't be sued? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Naw, it only groups about an inch and a quarter, not good enough for real sniping. Of course, the banners don't really care about the facts. They have no problem calling every black plastic semi auto an Assualt Weapon, and no problem calling every revolver a Saturday Night Special, do you really doubt they'd call every scoped bolt action a sniper rifle?HCI Dictionary but hey, like you said, they never really cared about the truth anyway. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Who do you respect more, a person who was victimized and now wants to make victims out of everyone else, or someone who suffered a loss due to a bad law and worked to change the law? At least Hupp knows about the topic she was elected for. McCarthy is either ignorant or a liar. She still talks about machine guns being available in your neighborhood if the AWB is not renewed.

Bill, there was a press release recently mentioning a new rule that civilians in Iraq were not to carry firearms. Also, from the Third Geneva Convetion, Article 4, Section A Civilians working with the miltary would qualify as POWs. Civilians working in the rebuilding effert fall into an even more protected status. I believe they are covered more in the Fourth Geneva Convention. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

They are acting as armed militia but not according to the requirements set forth in the conventions, so the protections don't apply. I never said everyone in the prison was one of those three, or that all three were in that prison. I listed them because the US constitution actually only has one crime built into it: beign a traitor. I listed spies because we have hung them in the past, and had ours hung. "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." I listed guerillas because I couldn't think of a better word for the militias. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Honestly, that's a good question that I don't know the answer to. I don't know what treaties, if any, apply to that. Maybe it's still legal to hang spies, traitors, and guerillas. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

While I am in fact fairly conservative, don't lump me in with the people you throw that term at like an insult. My personal politics are one thing, but I tend very heavily towards Libertarian politically and Capitalist economically. I still have yet to see a place where the government does something better than private industry.

I don't know George Will, but he sounds fed up with foreign policy (imperialism), not conservatives. The policy he is fed up with is not unique to this administration or to conservatives.

Your suspicions don't mean squat. If they were in uniform (republican guard, etc), then it's name rank serial number and hands off. You are incorrect. Read Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention. For organized armed militias there are four requirements. They don't qualify as POWs. Period. Unless you really want to argue for Article 4 Section A Paragraph 6, that is. I think you'd get laughed off the board for that one though. What is it with people lately, that every section of law that doesn't agree with you becomes a loophole. How about showing a little respect to the people who wrote the law (in this case Convention) were actually capable of writing what they meant. How about if you mention Article 3 of the Third Geneva Convention, you actually read it first. Article three applies to http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/91.htm I'm quoting the UN supplied text of the Third Geneva Convention. The Fourth convention, the one you were talking about on the Red Cross page, applies to So again, that doesn't apply. Face it, most of the men in Abu Ghraib are afforded nothing by the Geneva Conventions. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
