you think that your car has the eq of 1/2 stick of TNT going off constantly?
Perhaps I'm misreading the above but it seems you are advocating licensing as a requirement for firearms ownership? If so, I'm guessing you view these as reasonable restrictions and common-sense compromises
Check my post. The citations are there. I'll post them again...I said that the Communist Party is considered a SUBVERSIVE organization in WA state, and being a member of the Communist Party is therefor a felony.
Never heard of anything like that. Citations?
RCW 9.81.030
Membership in subversive organization is felony — Penalty.
It is a class C felony for any person after June 1, 1951, to become, or after September 1, 1951, to remain a member of a subversive organization or a foreign subversive organization knowing the organization to be a subversive organization or foreign subversive organization. Any person upon a plea of guilty or upon conviction of violating this section shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars, or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both, at the discretion of the court.
RCW 9.81.083
Communist party declared a subversive organization.
The Communist party is a subversive organization within the purview of chapter 9.81 RCW and membership in the Communist party is a subversive activity thereunder.
I'll have to go back a few pages to know what the original topic is actually about.
Don't know what state you live in but here in Texas you could get shot pointing a weapon at someone else as that is a deadly threat.If you really mean no restrictions at all, then YES that means I can aim my WWI howitzer directly at your bedroom window, load it up, and flip you off as you dial 911 -- because it's legal.
Come on! You're a lawyer; you know better than that. Pointing a howitzer at someone, or any other gun for that matter, is a crime. You are threatening deadly force. That is not a gun law that you are breaking, it is an assault. You could get rid of every GUN law out there, and it would still be illegal to threaten to kill people.The comments re: TNT and gasoline are right on point. As qwert put it, "no" restrictions MEANS "no" restrictions. If you really mean no restrictions at all, then YES that means I can aim my WWI howitzer directly at your bedroom window, load it up, and flip you off as you dial 911 -- because it's legal. It also means I can park that tanker truck of hydrogen peroxide in front of your house, unlock the valves and light up a cigar. Neither is criminal, and since "regulations" aren't "law" in somebody's little world, I can do it -- in their world. You'd have to wait -- until the truck explodes, or until I get rip-roaring drunk and pull the howitzer lanyard, blowing your house to matchwood and going to -- oh, not jail; as it's not illegal. You'd have to sue me civilly -- except that I already have the bankruptcy papers ready to file. So sorry.
...it's not every day that they change the definition of murder or arson or burglary or racketeering.
wjustinen, would you be happy to learn that your suicidally depressed radical mohammedean next door neighbor, who just finished doing 14 years for murdering a young family of four in order to steal their XBox, owns 500 pounds of high explosives and a full-auto submachinegun, and likes to point it at your house and your children while overdosing on his medications? Too bad -- none means none.
I was right. Public defenders are idiots.If howitzers and shells are not controlled, then it is not a crime to point it at your house. As I stated earlier, it is not a crime to mount a deactivated howitzer in your yard, pointed at a neighbors house. Rude, maybe. Funny, yes. Illegal? No.
The crime of assault involves specific elements, all of which must be present in order for a crime to be committed. How these elements are stated, and some of their specifics, vary from state to state. Pointing a gun, or a howitzer, at a building, is not common law assault.
