Its obvious they are trying to purge the very concept of firearms from the public arena. Trying to un-invent firearms.

Isn't a ban on the advertising of private sales of firearms a direct violation of the First Amendment?

It's a clear violation of the First and Fifth Amendments. It's a clear infringement on "the freedom of speech", and "of the press", as well as a violation of the takings clause, since an essential element of private property rights is the ability to contract for the disposition of . . . property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

The thugs in power today do not care about the rule of law. They have to be stopped, and gun rights are the line they cannot be permitted to cross.

Time to fly, in this order:
top ... Old Glory upside down
middle ... Gadsden Flag
bottom ... Pirate Black Flag

How would Congress wrap its mind around an immediate 250 million ‘pirates’ popping up?

They can ban aything they like. When is the last time you saw a Cigarette Commercial?

The First Amendment is much like the 2nd. Amendment -—on the way out.

Pat Toomey is a one term loser.

The terrifying thing is what the heck is going on in the House. Right now, complete and utter silence from both the leadership and rank & file.

The fear is that Boehner will follow through with his threat to ignore the Hastert rule, take a minimum number of Republicans and join with every single Democrat to force this madness through the House.

But nobody is saying anything. What the heck is going on? Suddenly congressmen who never shut up have been utterly silent. And that is scary.

What if you just inform your siblings via Facebook (internet) that you have a surplus weapon? Does that change the nature of the transaction? Email?
