This IS the Law

[hso]

Folks,

It looks like macmac just didn't understand that folks have already seen this before and that his original thread wasn't closed because of his posting the information, but because of the stupid behavior Texasrifleman has pointed out.

Let's be a little tolerant and help him out like Zundfolge did and Justin already has.

We know the law provides some protection and that the amendment gave gunowners some additional protection that didn't exist before Katrina, but we also know that you may have to educate your local authorities on it and you may even need to get a lawyer to force the issue for antis.

What we should be doing is what we did in Tennessee, put our own state version in place prohibiting the Governor and state officials from suspending any 2A rights during a natural disaster. Now THAT is the way to make things like this work. Target the local level and push for inclusion of protections like this.

I don't know . . . vigorous repartee pursuant to legal issues, and a discussion about what does and does not constitute debate.

Sounds pretty political to me.

And once again the moderators demonstrate that they don't understand discursive convention.

 

[Macmac]

I just want to thank Justin, Zundfolge, and hso for helping me out.

I will admit to being of discursive convention, but I had to look it up first.

Last, I am one of those people where in order to learn my head has to hurt, but i can learn.

In other words, what happened to me here in this thread is my fault. Mac

I think I missed something?

I still do not see how this law applies to anyone other than federal agencies.

 

[Macmac]

SwordRapier, That is a point huh?

A set of law for feds, yet another for states, then maybe another for local in state authorities, and of course another for the common man.

Being of the common man class, you will need someone with a lot more papers than I have to prove how bright they are.

I am 57, and for so long as I can remember there have been gun grabbers, so when I see a law like this, I see it as a small step in the right direction.

Whats the big deal if a guy repost something? No one has a gun to a members head making them post to that particular thread. New people join everyday so what is old to some, is new to others. If you dont like it ,dont post and the thread will eventually go away after it has run its natural course. This is a very very good internet sight not a "good ole boys only" clubhouse.

I think the phrase for today should be "live and let live"

Sometimes the law gets changed. It gets amended, recinded, sometimes it isn't placed under any jurisdiction (no controlling legal authority) sometimes it doesn't get funded (BATF returning lost gun rights) whenever Congress is in session the law can be a fluid thing. Based on money, political expediency, special interst money. You didn't see anyone running to drill offshore after Oct 1st because the moritorium on drilling expired because by the end of Jan it will be redone and made permanent. The AWB sunsetted but the sun is coming up again on that one.
Right now nobody can take away guns in an emergency or natural disaster but people forget that it was illegal before Katrina and they did it anyway. This law just restated the law that was already in place and was broken to begin with. Thats why the NRA won the lawsuit in New Orleans, because it was already an illegal action.

thanks for the post macmac, i had no idea that this had even happened. i printed off a copy, and i am taping it to the front of my safe. maybe any law enforcement officers would at least think twice before they decided to open it and try to comfiscate my guns. and if they decided to ignore it, well, that might create a legal channel for me.

moooose102 , Until about 2 weeks ago I was as uninformed as anyone..

My life style does not include day to day following of what law makers do. I must spend most of my time figuring out how I am going to get the next meal, and other mundane things the common man must do to survive.

With out getting myself into some trouble here and then getting a lot of help from the mods I listed above, most of what I had been attempting to say would have been lost.

I understand this law is not the end all to all law and mis-use of justice, but as i said it is a small step in the right way.

Any law can be abused or broken by anyone, but I have no controll of such things. All anyone needs to do to see it, is watch the news once a month.

As to me I am no lawyer, and I am not particularly good at any argument, unless that argument is with a hunk of steel. I can win that sort of an argument pretty easy , but when it comes to matters of law, I am way out of my leauge.

So if I had my way no more bickering would enter this thread.

The Mods did what they do, and that was help me get out my message, such as it is. I guess that ends up as a tiny pin hole of light that took me 2 years to just see..
