    ATF shenanigans - Project Gunrunner

    The original "tax collection" mandate of the ATF was a scam -- a selective firearms ban under cover of tax collection. The government knew it couldn't forbid ownership or sales of firearms outright, so they resorted to a punitive tax. The only reason the "taxes" seem marginally tolerable...

    Web sites to check state/city gun laws

    Try this... it's one PDF per state, and a few years old, and isn't specific to "assault weapon" regulations, but at least the municipal codes for each state are in alphabetical order: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/statelaws/26thedition/ (there's a page for the 27th edition but it doesn't have...

    ACLU's updated stance on 2nd amendment rights

    I agree, vegasHeat. Civil liberties are decidedly anti-American. :rolleyes:

    is FL an open carry state?

    So if a bunch of people call police and report illegal undocumented immigrants, will a state do something about that?

    Is banning handguns a "reasonable regulation"?

    The rationale for special regulation or banning of handguns is that they're concealable. That's the rationale for even bothering to identify them legally as a distinct class of firearms. That is not a valid rationale. How can something be bad when hidden but not bad when displayed openly...

    CCW While at Work - Why?

    Anyone who feels truly threatened at work should do more than simply carry a gun... quitting and/or initiating some internal or legal complaint would be reasonable, depending on the seriousness of the threat. I don't think CCW is about feeling threatened. I think it's an intersection of being...

    Google Is An ANTI-2nd Amendment Company!

    By "iffy" you mean that they don't support pseudo-"net neutrality" bills? Google owns Youtube. They are heavily invested in making sure the internet remains content-neutral, i.e. that ISPs don't rate limit e.g. youtube traffic. In that particular case, market forces may be effective at...

    Felony Murder Rule--Stretching Responsibility

    There's a continuum of felony-murder situations, and I'm not sure where the line should be drawn. Thug robs a bank, bystander shoots thug's accomplice or innocent bystander... fine, apply felony-murder to shift responsibility to the thug... but ideally the first bystander won't miss, and the...

    Libertarian Solutions I'd Like to Understand

    I don't think "crime" is a valid concept under anarchism. There is only what your subscription to a law enforcement/insurance collective offers, vs what someone else's offers, in the way of protection and insurance against things you or they don't want to happen. You can consider something an...

    Libertarian Solutions I'd Like to Understand

    Sure... I'm not saying discussion of various ideologies is bad. My problem is when those discussions are cloaked in the label of anarchism and seem to be preaching the truth of how anarchism will operate, when it seems clear that nobody really knows. I have a feeling many "anarchists" would...

    Libertarian Solutions I'd Like to Understand

    I think this suffers from the same false dichotomy as the folks who claim, "but doing things the way Libertarian supporter X suggests wouldn't be good." My problem with anarcho-capitalists and anarcho-socialists and various other flavors is that I don't understand what they're suggesting. I...

    DC appeals Parker case to SCOTUS

    Prof. Wickwire, Go to the THR Library (link at top right of any THR page). Look under the heading "Positions on the RKBA" (right column, middle-ish). Warbow, it sounds like the appeal will be submitted around September, Parker has a while to respond to the appeal, and then I think D.C. can...

    Papers, please?

    Only in fascist states. I've twice been briefly detained and then let go (in TX) after repeatedly refusing to disclose my identity to a LEO. (Obviously I only do that when not carrying or driving.) I'd like to reiterate what Green Lantern already pointed out. If you have your a ccw license...

    Tax dodgers taunt police from hilltop compound

    We have representation, but it's institutionalized, corrupt representation.

    Comments wanted on a new poster (NSFW?)

    The world is a cold, hard place, and doesn't care one bit what you find offensive. If you go to a war zone, you'll see people die. If you watch the nature channel, you'll occasionally see animals having sex. If you hang out on (hopefully) open-minded forums like this, you should expect to see...

    THR was missed!

    Umm, wacki and SaMx, that attack info is from the last one (~May 22nd). I haven't seen anything from Derek about where this latest attack was coming from.

    Fred Thompson on the Parker case.

    I want a candidate who respects limits to government intrusion into social policy across the board, rather than trying to shove religious morals down everyone's throat. I want a candidate who respects the international community, but who realizes that as long as countries are at vastly...

    Jahroose... Is sharpshooter on that site serious? Since black-rifles.com seems to be down at the moment, here's the gist. According to sharpshooter on that site: Perp is one Mr. Cho. Shooter used a Walther P22 and Glock 19. Glock 19 purchased at sharpshooter's shop in March (March 12 +- a...

    2 Things I WANT to Know about the Virginia Tech Massacre

    http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/wb/xp-21770 We all ought to contact Larry Hincker and ask if he stands behind his efforts to prevent legal ccw on campus, and whether the campus is really "free from fear." Here's the freep thread (started today) on the above (Jan '06) article...
