Couple questions from another posting:

Where does The Dear Liar think he has the Authority to ban arbitrarily defined “Assault Weapons”?

Where does The Dear Liar think he has the Authority to ban arbitrarily defined “high-capacity clips”?

Where does the Dear Liar think he has the Authority for “increased background checks on gun buyers”?

What is the Difference between an Arm as in the “right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” AND an Arbitrarily defined ‘Assault Weapon’?

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Can it be supposed that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity...will respect the less important and arbitrary ones... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants, they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

– Thomas Jefferson, quoted from Enlightenment philosopher Cesare Beccaria’s On Crimes and Punishment, 1764; translated by Jefferson and copied into his Commonplace Book of great quotations.

Are we suppose to require ‘Universal Background Checks’ from everyone before they are allowed to enter our homes that have guns inside? (potential access to guns)

Easter dinner could be interesting - some relatives may need to eat on the back patio (going to need to rent a pot-o-potty)
