Bobalu posted a link about someone:
"... printing a new lower receiver for his AR-15." Now that's pretty slick. It's akin to being able to use secure cryptography over the Internet. Once the technology exists, it never ceases to exist and the technology has the potential to frustrate government meddlers.

People need to read and understand the implications of SA 2574 as well.
16 U.S.C. § 824a : US Code - Section 824A: Interconnection and coordination of facilities; emergencies; transmission to foreign countries
(c) Temporary connection and exchange of facilities during emergency
During the continuance of any war in which the United States is engaged, or whenever the Commission determines that an emergency exists by reason of a sudden increase in the demand for electric energy, or a shortage of electric energy or of facilities for the generation or transmission of electric energy, or of fuel or water for generating facilities, or other causes, the Commission shall have authority, either upon its own motion or upon complaint, with or without notice, hearing, or report, to require by order such temporary connections of facilities and such generation, delivery, interchange, or transmission of electric energy as in its judgment will best meet the emergency and serve the public interest.
Well that gets changed under SA 2574 as well.
Page 5402, 1/2 way down...
(a) IN GENERAL.Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824a(c)) is amended (1) by striking (c) During and inserting the following: (c) TEMPORARY CONNECTION AND EXCHANGE OF FACILITIES DURING EMERGENCY. (1) IN GENERAL.During; and (2) by adding at the end the following: (2) COMPLIANCE WITH OR VIOLATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS WHILE UNDER EMERGENCY ORDER.
(A) IN GENERAL.If an order issued under this subsection may result in a conflict with a requirement of any Federal, State, or local environmental law or regulation, the Commission shall ensure that the order
(i) requires generation, delivery, interchange, or transmission of electric energy only during hours necessary to meet the emergency and serve the public interest; and
(ii) to the maximum extent practicable, is consistent with any applicable Federal, State, or local environmental law or regulation and minimizes any adverse environmental impacts.
People better think about these words too...WHILE UNDER EMERGENCY ORDER.
Title 10 Chapter II Subchapter A Part 205 Subpart W Section 205.371
10 CFR 205.371
Definition of emergency.
Emergency, as used herein, is defined as an unexpected inadequate supply of electric energy which may result from the unexpected outage or breakdown of facilities for the generation, transmission or distribution of electric power. Such events may be the result of weather conditions, acts of God, or unforeseen occurrences not reasonably within the power of the affected entity to prevent. An emergency also can result from a sudden increase in customer demand, an inability to obtain adequate amounts of the necessary fuels to generate electricity, or a regulatory action (think EPA) which prohibits the use of certain electric power supply facilities. Actions under this authority are envisioned as meeting a specific inadequate power supply situation. Extended periods of insufficient power supply as a result of inadequate planning or the failure to construct necessary facilities can result in an emergency as contemplated in these regulations. In such cases, the impacted entity will be expected to make firm arrangements to resolve the problem until new facilities become available, so that a continuing emergency order is not needed. Situations where a shortage of electric energy is projected due solely to the failure of parties to agree to terms, conditions or other economic factors relating to service, generally will not be considered as emergencies unless the inability to supply electric service is imminent. Where an electricity outage or service inadequacy qualifies for a section 202(c) order, contractual difficulties alone will not be sufficient to preclude the issuance of an emergency order.

One of the first priorities of the new Congress should be to prohibit these unrelated amendments and make it so every bill must stand alone.

So the Democrat idea of “common ground” is not to repeal a Constitutional amendment, just pretend it doesn’t exist.
What a compromise!

Speaks volumes for their lack of standing - they don't have the guts to roll out a stand-alone gun bill and debate it in the open, oh no, they have to sneak things onto other bills. Eternal vigilance against oppressors indeed.

“Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a sponsor of the gun control amendment, came to the floor to defend the idea of implementing some reasonable gun control measures.
The amendment was sponsored by Democratic Sens. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Bob Menendez (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Schumer and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.).”
Every one of these so-called Senators should be expelled from the Senate, and then tried for treason.

Why do Liberals never want to discuss common sense press control? I mean, the First Amendment clearly applies only to the manual printing press, right? Today’s instant electronic communications like Facebook and AttackWatch and DailyPsyKosis were never meant to operate without government control. Who can argue otherwise except for those people who want to continue the national orgy of press-related personal assassinations, career destruction, persecution of opponents’ families and children, making fun of conservatives’ illnesses, urging fellow Liberals to commit violence, and concealing damning information about the president? Common sense press control is something who’s time is past due.

The amendment was sponsored by Democratic Sens. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Bob Menendez (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Schumer and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.).Oh, THIS crew is WELL NOTED for their reasonableness when it comes to guns.
They take the position that the reasonable interpretation of the Second Amendment is the removal of all firearms, knives, and metal objects from the population.
You don't want to know their more unreasonable views.

“To Schmuckie Chuckie, repealing the Second Amendment would be a reasonable gun control measure.”
If you have a copy of “Unintended Consequences” pull it off the bookshelf and check out the “Carl Schaumberg” character. I looked up dates, and Schumer was in the House of Representatives at the copyright date of U.C. just like the Schaumberg character.
It seems likely Schaumberg is a thinly-disguised Schumer, though Schaumberg met a messy end (or should I say “ends”?) in the novel.

In other news, the department of homeland security has purchased 450 MILLION, that is MILLION hollow point bullets. These bullets are ILLEGAL in military operations, yet our government buys these things. Even law enforcement cannot use them. So, WHY PRAY TELL, do they need them??? TO USE ON AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO REFUSE TO BUCKLE UNDER TO THEIR COMING COMMUNIST EMPIRE!!! That is why.

When Democrats say they're willing to compromise, it means the good guys (conservatives) give up something they already have, while the leftards "give up" gaining as much collectivist tyranny as they were shooting for, but the change relative to statist quo is always in only one direction.Either that or "You give up something substantive, and I'll give up some of my hot air."

Great point...A few days ago when the Aurora murders went down the enemedia was going crazy with gun control articles and different slants on the 2nd Amendment.
I was thinking what these Einstein's of the media would say if the shoe was on the other foot and there was talk of limiting the 1st Amendment, not only would we be up in arms (maybe literally) but the enemedia would also be going ape.
