I have searched repeatedly through the U.S. Constitution, and I have yet to find the oft-used term "sporting" in there anywhere, in regards to the 2nd amendment, or any other portion if it's entire text.
Therefore, this is one more example of arbitrary abrogation of the supposed "supreme law of the land" by unelected bureaucrats who are killing our nation by slow regulatory strangulation.
If we continue to allow it, that is.

For 16 years, it has been legal to import parts for semi-auto builds and SUDDENLY the ATF "discovers" a "new" interpretation allowing them to arbitrarily stop the importations. This is EXACTLY the sort of bullshit that we expect from a 'Rat presidency and not a Republican.
IMO, Gonzalez was told to approve this rule change to send a signal to the 'Rats about what a good little "moderate" that he was in order to slide him easily into O'Connor's seat.

We didn't do anything over Emminent Domain. We won't do anything about this either.

Joe,
I have searched repeatedly through the U.S. Constitution
It is right there next to the homo marriage right and abortion right.
Are you blind?

"this is one more example of arbitrary abrogation of the supposed "supreme law of the land" by unelected bureaucrats who are killing our nation by slow regulatory strangulation."The unelected bureaucrats are complicit, but Congress is the one that violated the law in the first place. Some as they violated the firat amend with their campaign finance reform.
Gonzales OKd this.

Hey Joe - Since you seem to be into intellectual excercises like this, see if you can find the terminology "collective right" anywhere at all in any of the founding documents.
I would speculate that it never entered into US political terminology until after Stalin and Mao's "collectivization" programs. I specifically remember my Con Law prof telling us that every right mentioned in the Bill of Rights was an individual right, which is what makes us different from the rest of the world.
