Now we play the source game?
I'll get around to it later.

LaEscopeta said:Making up things that aren’t true is not the same as making a point. Here is a partial list of things stated in this thread that in fact are not true:
1. It is not a felony to bounce a check. A jury has to find the intent to commit fraud (cash a check on an account that doesn’t exist, use a false name, know you can’t get the funds to cover the check, etc) for it to be a felony.
2. A dishonorable discharge from the military does not prevent owning firearms.
3. You do not have to prove you are not a felon to buy a firearm. You have to prove who you are and where you live (show 2 forms of ID) just like when you exercise your Right to vote. You have to check a box on a form saying you are not a felony, but the burden of proof that you are a felon lies with the Government workers running the NICS.
4. There is not a trend to make traffic offense felonries. In fact the trend is the opposite, to lower the level running red lights and speeding from moving violations to be like parking tickets, so when they send you the photo ticket in the mail you don’t have the same right to a trial.
5. No one loses the Right to keep and bear arms by seeing a therapist, having depression, taking anti-anxiety medication, staying in a mental hospital or having occasional seizures. You have to be found by a court (in many states a jury) to be mentally defective AND a danger to yourself or others.
6. Having a ponytail does not make you mentally defective, neither in the USA nor in England.
7. Spitting on the sidewalk is not currently a crime, felony nor misdemeanor, in any State of the Union, and has not been for several decades. Likewise it is not illegal, nor has it ever been, to urinate in a state or national park, where there are no nearby facilities.
