I haven't read the whole thing yet, but I don't think that's necesarrily what he is saying. In order to get five clean votes, this opinion had to be as narrow as possible. I think he is just making clear that this opinion only applies to complete bans on firearms in common use for self-defense...

Airguns are not defined as firearms under state law, but there may be relevant local ordinances. I think the more important question is what is he planning to do with it?

I think I'm just going to mail myself an empty envelope. Then if I ever have to go into court, I can fill it with helpful prior knowledge, and then seal it. As to the Tueller drill specifically, I'd think a good defense attorney would let his client just testify that he felt threatened by...

I don't know if this proves GOA right, but it seems to prove those who claimed that "a doctor can't put you on 'the list'" wrong.:rolleyes: Something tells me that if OK hasn't gotten around to figuring out how to submit names, they haven't gotten around to figuring out how to unsubmit them...

I think it really depends on how the majority reasons out the rulling in Heller. They may allow DC to open the registry, they may find the whole thing unconstitutional. And they may base their opinion on the type of gun that is being regulated, the nature of the regulation, or the purpose for...

I don't know who "our" and "us" refer to in your post. Are you one of the Heller plaintiffs or attorneys or author of an amicus brief? Gura was up there representing a client and a particular position. He wasn't arguing on behalf of everyone in the US who nominally agrees with him. If you...

It also should be kept in mind that like every other attorney walking into any other court, Gura has a client who's interests he is sworn to protect. While we would all like to believe that he was in there arguing just for us, he was arguing for Dick Heller (and us a bit). If he had to throw...

I believe that Reunion is still owned by the city of Dallas. So they cannot prohibit carry by CHL holders there unless it is during a sporting event. I can't believe that someone at the USSS didn't figure that out before they scheduled the rally there. There's no exception in the law for...

He could have shipped it to "whateverfun2 c/o Cosmoline", and according to the ATF, no interstate transfer would have taken place as long as nobody other than whateverfun2 opened the box. Apparantly the same goes for an FFL. Doing it FFL to FFL is convenient because they are the only ones who...

Lund is discussing the purpose of the amendment at the time it was passed. The Bill of Rights did not limit the powers of the states until 80 years after the Constitution was ratified. Some of the amendments still do not apply to the states. I'm sure Lund meant exactly what he said. This...

I've been considering this for the first floor windows, does anyone here have experience installing this stuff? I've put on tint before, is this pretty much the same? Can you see it once it's on?

You can have residences in two states, and legally buy a firearm in either, as long as you meet the ATF's requirements of residency. But I suspect that even if you are a resident of MI your problem will be convincing a seller of that without a MI license. I am not at all familiar with MI law...

I have, and it's a mess, but I can't find the section that authorizes disclosure of exulpatory information to the defense. The subsection you quoted allows disclosure on request for a court order by a federal officer or AUSA for their use in an investigation or criminal proceeding.

Given perfect information, I would not take a life purely over property (absent extraordinary circumstances). But I voted that it should be legal. I think that in any case where the decedent was killed during the commission of a felony, all of the legal presumptions should be on the side of...

I don't belive that you're just beginning to think that, I believe that you've thought that way for a long time. In fact, that seems to be the entire point of this thread, and I've gotten the same impression for many of your posts. Many of your posts espouse opinions typical of elitist...

Jeff, I don't see where anyone disagreed about the importance of identifying your target. But there seems to be a disgreement over what is sufficient "identification" and what constitutes a "target". Also, no one disagreed that any course of action, even the "right one" (whatever the hell that...

Like This thread from November about police in New York shooting a boy holding a hairbrush. In that thread, Jeff White offered the following: Should we hold this man who was in his own home in the middle of the night to a higher standard than the NY officers? Suicide by cop, or suicide...

Stpidity is painful. Sometimes it is even fatal. There is no legitimate reason for a person to be in my house and fail to identify himself. Even if that statement is not strictly true 100% of the time, it will be true enough of the time that I (and the Texas legislature) will presume...

Hopefully it is the author of that story, and whoever taught him English.
