Yep, just like a bunch of meat in a room full of cats. Hmm were did I hear that? Oh Yea, one of Osama's Butt Buddies, Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali of Australia.
If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside... and the cats come and eat it... whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat?" he asked.
The uncovered meat is the problem, he went on to say.
"If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred," he added.
If that guy just hadn't be exercising a right of the people, the BATFE would have left him alone... well unless he was making some hooch or something, at least there's no enumerated right to do that.
Look, I agree on the right, but the reality on the ground is that exercising it in that way, will get you in deep doo-doo.
Do you REALLY want to try and excuse that kind of blatant, Rights destroying asshattery?
Shall not be infringed.
It ain't rocket surgery.
I'm not excusing squat, Mr. Keyboard Commando.
You run along now, and get your Sten, and advertize it to the world, since you're so gung ho, Mr. Rocket Scientist.
"They are supposed to be using the money to go after terrorists, which this guy most assuredly is not."
Tell me, sir...just who gets to define who is a "terrorist"?
Trust your government...
The Congress has defined it for legal purposes. This guy doesn't fit the definition.
Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f(d): Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f(d):
The term terrorism means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.
The term international terrorism means terrorism involving the territory or the citizens of more than one country.
The term terrorist group means any group that practices, or has significant subgroups that practice, international terrorism.
Trust your government...
Killing and stopping terrorists is one of the things we pay them for. However
Which is just what we are doing, isn't it?
The right to keep and bear arms is protected so that a well-regulated militia can exist. But the right protected belongs not any militia, but to the people. Of course the militia are the people, wearing their military hat, just as the Posse is the people wearing their police hat.
Make sure to put up a vanity thread here on FR, and ping me to it, when you decide to go out in a blaze of "glory."
Arming up and BLOATing is one thing.
Being brain-dead stupid about it, over some Stens, is another.
The Constitution does not limit the right to bear arms to non-criminals.
Logically American Muslims have as much of a right to self-defense as the rest of us. I would of course be very uncomfortable with a militia of Muslims buying AK's then talking about Allah and vindication, but then I would rest assured that I am well prepared to take out anybody who oversteps their natural rights and infringes on mine.
*Sten gun*
I had to fire a Sten during training years ago. THAT'S a dangerous little auto!
One never knew if it would quit firing after the trigger was released.
It was like a slow-motion grenade............FRegards
All my firearms are currently legal. If Kennedy gets his ammo "performance standards" change for his "armor piering" definition, almost everything I have become instantly illegal.
What then smart ass?
Look, if you think it's time to go challenge The Man over new full-auto weapons, that have been illegal for almost 25 years, go for it.
"What then", in your hypothetical case, will have to be determined at the time. It shouldn't be discussed here, and can't under the FR Terms of Use.
"Freedom"Poster? More like GovernmentApologizer.
Being brain-dead stupid about it, over some Stens, is another.
Stupid about Stens? -- That's the question.
As I commented at #30:
Appears to me that they intend to challenge the NFA of '34 in court, - on the constitutional grounds that an 'unorganized' militia can possess full auto weapons as per the 2nd.
Incredibly enough, some FReepers think this is crazy.. To me it's crazy to believe the '34 'act' is constitutional. -- Do you?
Friends defend militia leader arrested by feds

Friends of a Washington County Militia leader accused of possessing illegal firearms are rallying to show their support for him.
Hollis " Wayne" Fincher, 60, of 16085 E. Black Oak Road in Fayetteville was released from the Washington County Jail on Thursday and is being held for federal authorities at an undisclosed location. He is scheduled to appear at a 1: 30 p. m. hearing Monday in U. S. District Court in Fort Smith.
Fincher was arrested Wednesday after an eightmonth investigation related to the unlawful manufacture, possession and transfer of fully automatic guns.
The arrest became fodder for local talk radio and boiled over Thursday evening at the Washington County Quorum Court meeting when Washington County Judge Jerry Hunton spoke prior to the meeting, defending himself against charges made on local radio earlier in the date that Hunton was involved in Fincher's arrest. Hunton denied any involvement.
Don Bright, a local resident known as a regular contributor to talk radio shows, stood up and said Hunton was referring to his comments earlier in the day. He called Hunton " a liar. " As a yelling match ensued, Bright was escorted from the meeting by Sheriff Tim Helder and a deputy, but was not arrested. Bright, contacted by phone later, said he had no comment.
" I heard that Don Bright was on the radio this morning saying that [I ] caused this whole investigation, " Hunton said in an interview earlier Thursday. " That's completely untrue.
There was a whole story on Wayne in the newspaper with a picture of him cradling a machine gun. I think that picture probably got the attention of authorities and that's probably how this thing got started. "
Teams of special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and other agencies executed 14 search warrants in an early-morning operation Wednesday throughout the Fort Smith and Fayetteville area. The warrants are under seal at the direction of the U. S. Attorney's Office.
The evidence seized will be submitted to the U. S. Attorney's Office for the preparation of indictments.
Jay Cole, a local pastor known for his television commercials encouraging viewers to follow God, said Fincher is not a violent man.
" I don't believe Wayne would do that, " Cole said. " He's given me paper work and he's published things in the paper about what his group does. He's not hiding anything he's interested in protecting the rights of the citizens. If there's anyone who's not violent, it's Wayne Fincher. "
Hunton, interviewed Thursday before the flareup with Bright, said Fincher hasn't been any trouble as far as he knows.
" The only dealings I've had with Wayne is when he's come to Quorum Court to express his opinion on different issues, " he said. " Wayne obviously has a strong opinion about property rights, but I've always found him to be fairly cordial. He was a little out of line at one meeting, but the more I've gotten to know him, he's become pretty courteous. "
The Washington County Militia is headquartered down the road from Fincher's residence at 15566 E. Black Oak Road about 5. 5 miles south of Huntsville Road. According to its Web site, http: // www. arkansasmilitia. com, the group has been active since 1994 and is committed to " defending liberty and serving Washington County."
The organization holds a weekly muster every Friday evening at 7 p. m. that is open to the public.
" Wayne and his wife used to go to our church and they used to have their meetings down the road at Ozark Electric until they built their new headquarters, " Cole said. I've known Wayne for a long time and he wouldn't hurt a fly. "
Cole's son, Jay Cole Jr., said he too, is a close friend of Fincher's.
" Wayne's primarily an educator on constitutional issues, " he said. " He's not planning to shoot anyone he's planning to tell people about their needs. Their God-given rights are being violated and someone needs to do something about it. "
Johnny Tittle, host of a local radio talk show, said his Thursday morning talk show centered on Fincher's arrest.
" We went the whole two hours talking about it because that's what my callers wanted to talk about, " he said. " I've known Wayne for a long time and there are some things that are puzzling about this whole thing.
The group that arrested him have known about those particular elements for six years.
[Fincher ] notified the ATF, FBI, state Attorney General, governor and local police about what he was doing.
They haven't done anything wrong that they're trying to hide. "
Tittle said Fincher is a regular caller on his radio show.
" There's not a more peaceful, law-abiding man he's never broken the law, " Tittle said.
Despite local support, authorities say Fincher violated federal laws and should face the consequences.
" Sometimes these operations may seem innocent to the general public, but these people haven't taken responsibility to have such weapons okayed, " said ATF Special Agent Austin Banks.
" It presents a threat to the community.... I believe [the investigation ] got very dangerous weapons out of the community and out of the hands of people who were not legally supposed to have them. "
Everyone at ATF right now was appointed by Janet Reno.
At the same time, the US government (Especially the Democrats) has an urck to drastically shrink the size of the military (Prevent military coups), increase the size of the federal police, and ban all firearms and impliment the Nancy Pelosi agenda.
