"He said that the range owners have a business model in which they visualize the Bothell range as sort of a combination of Wade's and the Bellevue Harley-Davidson dealership: an upscale 'lifestyle' facility in which people drop by to hang out, shoot the breeze with other like-minded people and...

The first post here is the one that makes sense (and not a choice in the poll...). Sometimes more really is actually better and in this case the glock will be nice for some things and the colt for other. One is not "better" for all purposes, and all people, then the other. -Boyd

Quizmeister ; ) the post you replied to mentioned collective rights only in passing with a smiley at the end and -in- -parenthesis-. The -point- of the post was the sentence at the -front-: "the national guard was formed more then 100 years after the constitution"... please pay attention ; ) You...

The national guard came into existence around 100 years -after- the signing of the constitution. This is a hagard old strawman that we don't have to answer with deeper arguments about "collective rights" (of which I dont think there are any ; ) boyd425

"Why should I move if someone doesn't like me? " When I'm not doing network technical support, I'm a commercial real estate manager, I've also rented a room out in my home for quite a lot of years. A renter, ie someone -paying- to stay somewhere, should -never- ask "why should I move" you...

Jokerman said in part: No, machine guns (I am told) don't recoil but climb. Fired on full auto they move point of aim into the sky. Most of the shootings blamed on machine guns (like the stockton shooting that started LCAV) happen over a great deal of time. The police arrive, and carefully...

Yes, a few of us could benefit from scanning "Supreme Court Gun Cases" The man (along with Korwin and Kopel) wrote the book. Literally. I won't even mention that you can buy the book from Second Amendment Foundation at www.saf.org or calling 425.454.7012. No sir ; ) not gonna mention it. All...

"Once the legal precedent is established and with the NRA's rubber stamp, the door is open for national registration schemes. " Is obvious and clear illogic. 1) It's vague. "The Door" Doesn't mean anything here, we are talking about an oral argument that's a tiny part of the prelude to a...

KMKeller asks" So you're willing to sacrifice the many to benefit the few Boyd?" No. Thanks for asking.

KMKeller said: "And if we can force registration in DC, why not the nation?" The point is that the slippery slope you are obliquely warning us about here goes BOTH ways. If our opponents can use it to to ratchet us from GCA68 to where we are now, then we can use it to ratchet the country...

Nicki, you previously argued that the facts are the only thing you stand on here and then you typed: "quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicki, citizens in Washington DC are not currently allowed to own handguns...

"Wrong. What we are saying is that this isn't an improvement - incremental or otherwise. " Nicki, citizens in Washington DC are not currently allowed to own handguns.

If you believe that nothing short of pure and absolute Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms yesterday is the minimum acceptable legal standard then what are you doing here? You do not have that in the United States (arguably Texas is close, but the LEO arresting you as you saunter thru...

The reason that this American owns firearms is not uniquely American (as valid as those American reasons obviously are) but completely universal to the Human condition: Having been born, you have an ethical right to continue living. Oleg Volk talks about this a bit on his site and Jeffrey...

So who's active in which orgs to be sure he -does- get unelected next time around? (I'm lookin' here.) A quick google of: http://www.google.com/search?q=Missouri+%22keep+and+bear+arms%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=20&sa=N turns up 7,350 hits but not many look relevent. Maybe...

"Tank" said in part: "Case in point is what NRA tried to do with their Seegars case, and as was done in Emerson's legal approach. Commerce Clause? Please. Get to the point already." Yeah, well you're aware that the Emerson decision codified the Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms into...

2Dogs, please don't take this wrong but since we all know Mr. Kopels academic background can you tell us a bit about your legal/academic experience or point us to bio? -Boyd

We have a Right not to have the sport of hunting eliminated (operative word here "we") by political opportunists who broadcast emotional lies and deception to advance a narrow (and IMHO often simply anti human) political agenda. Do we have a right to overtax limited resources (throw every Tom...

In the 1960s they said you could tell which of the panthers were FBI infiltrators because their dues were paid early. Sometimes I wonder if some of the people on our side... aren't. I have no idea if that applies here but it's a thought to keep in the back of your mind on large national forums...
