We Condemn "Project Exile"
To All Americans:
The current NRA leadership’s "Project Exile" program
demands "zero tolerance" enforcement of all existing federal gun
laws. But most—if not all—of these laws are unconstitutional
violations of the Second Amendment. American firearm owners and
supporters of the Bill of Rights have invested countless millions of
dollars and man-hours to prevent these same laws from ever being
passed. Clear-thinking Americans continue to work tirelessly to repeal
them.
Enemies of the right of self-defense and the Second Amendment, such as
Handgun Control Inc., Bill Clinton, and Charles Schumer, all strongly support
"Project Exile, because "Project Exile" is an official
endorsement of these onerous gun laws – including the
infamous 1994 "Crime Bill" which outlawed "high
capacity" magazines and banned perfectly Constitutional militia
rifles.
The NRA’s current leadership says that "Project Exile" is
aimed at convicting violent felons. But of course these laws can be—and
will be—used against any citizen who breaks them.
"Project Exile" demands enforcement, with Zero Tolerance and
minimum 5-year prison terms, of current federal laws enforceable
against any American man or woman who, for example:
* attaches a +2 extension to a "post-ban" Glock pistol
magazine
* attaches a flash suppresser, folding stock, or bayonet lug to a
"post ban" militia rifle
* accidentally carries a concealed weapon (with state
"license" or not) into a federally prohibited area, such as
near a school or into a post office
* drives to another state to give a family member (even a son or a
granddaughter) a handgun without going through the instant check
registration scheme
* possesses a gun while subject to a restraining order, regardless of
the absence of violence, and without a trial or any legal adversarial
process having taken place
* commits ANY minor infraction of ANY unconstitutional federal gun law
Should Americans go to prison for the acts described above? "Project
Exile" says YES.
There is no connection between supporting the Bill of Rights and
supporting federal laws that are un-American. Moreover, the
agencies that enforce such laws slaughtered over eighty people in Waco,
shot to death a young boy and his mother at Ruby Ridge, and continually
commit brutal acts against citizens under the guise of "gun
control". The "legal" excuse behind the Waco massacre was
the unproved suspicion of "illegal" machine gun
possession. The "legal" excuse behind the Ruby Ridge killings
was a shotgun that may have been ¼ inch too short. Both are
examples of "zero tolerance".
As for the issue of crime, dissatisfaction regarding the removal of
criminals from our streets should be directed toward state and local
lawmaking bodies—the same entities which often refuse to reduce crime
by respecting our right to bear arms for self-defense.
Governments have murdered tens of millions of their own citizens in the
last century alone—mass murders that were often greatly facilitated by
civilian disarmament aided by firearms registration. Conventional
criminals continue daily to add to their terrible toll of victims.
Therefore we call upon legislators to repeal ALL LAWS which infringe upon
the right of Americans to freely carry arms in defense of self, family,
and country. And we call on the NRA’s leadership to repudiate
"Project Exile", which, by supporting such laws, is a grotesque
betrayal of the eighty-three million American firearm owners who conduct
peaceable lives every day; a betrayal of the Second Amendment; and a
betrayal of the entire Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the freedoms
Americans hold dear.

Any so called pro gun supporter who is in favor of Project Exile is a ........ well "whatever" as the kids say nowdays.
No one here supports giving nukes to anyone and to add it to the discussion is asinine.
The 2nd Amendment is about Arms. Like in weapons of war: firearms, edged weapons, artillery.
