So, it comes down to "Should Congress be regulating machine guns or shouldn't they"? You can't honestly say "yes" and then allow every Tom, Dick, and Bob Stewart to build them in their basements.

Bullshit. You'd have us believe that if Congress can't play games with the Commerce Clause, then they will be unable to do anything and we will be powerless to change it. You'd also have us believe that Congress cannot pass a single regulation about anything and effectively enforce it without having absolute control over every aspect of the object of that regulation and everyone involved with it.

So you want Congress to regulate machine guns, but you also want to allow anyone and everyone, including ex-felons, to be able to build as many as they want.

Then, once we have a half-million or so unlicensed, unregistered homemade machine guns with no serial number floating around the states, if they cross state lines, then we'll prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Right?

Question. How will you know that an unregistered machine gun with no serial number actually crossed a state line?

"Tee-hee, tee-hee, robertpaulsen -- we wouldn't! Oh my. Now how did that happen?"

You know what I do hate? With a passion? Posters who take me for a fool. Do you take me for a fool, tacticalogic?
