*Ka-Bump!*
If you want to get the word out, then why not give it away for free by streaming it?
Selling it implies you'd rather make a fast buck.
I've seen a few "girls with guns" pics, but that one is right near the top of the heap.
Wow.
I still think SigZiggy was cuter. Then again, I've got a thing for redheads. ;-)
Class III AR-10 and AR-15s Ping!
Yes sir!! Now that is my kind of support for the Second Amendment!! Lock and load....nice.
Read later.
Let me remove that belly button piercing for you.
I agree. That is why Newsmax is not taken too seriously in my house.
Was the gun in question for sale or still being assembled/tested when they picked it up?
Was the problem really potentially fatal to the user?
From what I saw, the BATF was pushing the envelope but seems he may have been also. Better minds might know but guns with 3 position switchs (even without function) and worn "firing parts" makes me wonder.
dang, this is GA, because his Rep is Gingrey.

Bush Lawyers Target Gun Control's Legal Rationale

Readying for a constitutional showdown over gun control, the Bush administration has issued a 109-page memorandum aiming to prove that the Second Amendment grants individuals nearly unrestricted access to firearms.
The memorandum, requested by Attorney General John Ashcroft, was completed in August but made public only last month, when the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel posted on its Web site several opinions1 setting forth positions on various legal issues. Reaching deep into English legal history and the practice of the British colonies prior to the American Revolution, the memorandum represents the administration's latest legal salvo to overturn judicial interpretations that have prevailed since the Supreme Court last spoke on the Second Amendment, in 1939. Although scholars long have noted the ambiguity of the 27-word amendment, courts generally have interpreted the right to "keep and bear arms" as applying not to individuals but rather to the "well-regulated militia" maintained by each state.
Reversing previous Justice Department policy, Mr. Ashcroft has declared that the Second Amendment confers a broad right of gun ownership, comparable with the First Amendment's grant of freedom of speech and religion. In November 2001, he sent federal prosecutors a memorandum endorsing a rare federal-court opinion, issued the previous month by the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, that found an individual has the right to gun ownership. President Bush adopted that view as well, saying that "the Constitution gives people a personal right to bear arms," and doesn't merely protect "the rights of state militias," in an interview published days before last year's election in National Rifle Association magazines.
The new Justice Department memorandum acknowledges that "the question of who possess the right secured by the Second Amendment remains open and unsettled in the courts and among scholars," but goes on to declare that...
Please, whenever someone mentions 'semi-automatic' firearms, respond in kind that they are better known as 'quasi-automatic' firearms or 'single-shots'.
Thankee.
JPFO is one of the mos valuable civil rights organisations in this country.
