I think their commercials are embarassingly inept. They're not winning over anybody. Check out the ACLU's stuff onthe other hand. You may not like some of the issues they push, but look at their opposition to the PATRIOT act. The motto is "Safe and Free". Brilliant! They show diverse...

So, if according to this court's ruling the constitutionality of the NFA '34 was negated by the amendment in the '86 FOPA, then within the jusrisdiction of that court it ought to be legal to build a machine gun. Under federal law anyway. I think state law bans full autos in Illinois.

Capitol idea! After the immolation of a few hundred airline passengers the public will know which airlines are safe, and which ones only poor people will have to take. You want less regs on guns and other civil libterties? Fine, I agree. It's where libertarians and similar groups want...

Much as I don't like Kerry, did he actually vote to ban this thing? It doesn't have a pistol grip or other evil feature, though it is a semi-auto.

Justin, do you have a tax stamp for that 3 round burst you just fired? I want to see silencers deregulated too. You should be able to buy them over the counter. Let's start a letter writing campaign.

Going with the car example, tell him that his logic demands that we put governors in cars restricting their speed to around the national speed limit. After all, the benefits of being able to drive that fast are outweighed by the negative consequences of permitting people to own these kinds of...

In the 1990's, over 80 people were killed by a man with a can of gasoline and a match in New York City.

Well then, if that's the case I don't see the problem with legalizing machine guns.

Am I correct that while the 1934 NFA was based on the power of taxation, the 1968 GCA and the 1986 FOPA amendment were based on the interstate commerce power?

All this discussion of hunting is taking the focus away from John Kerry's Vietnam service, which is obviously the critical issue here.

The poster is good, but the second phrase is a sentence fragment, therefore the period should be removed. I'm sorry for being a grammar Nazi but if the poster is to be used in a public venue it ought to be totally correct.
