[Seamus Mc Gillicuddy]

"PINK PISTOLS ! is this for real?"

U betcha . Their motto is: "Pick on someone your own caliber." If guns are outlawed only F@#'s will have guns.

[Travis McGee]

Exactly. Our judges are out of control, ruling the land from the bench, they are becoming no more than commissars.

[LibKill]

California lawmakers banned a number of rifles under the Assault Weapons Control Act in 1989, but a decade later, the state also restricted the sale, manufacture, or importation into the state of all semi-automatic rifles having combinations of arbitrarily selected features – such as detachable magazines, folding stocks, flash suppressors and pistol grips.

Oh! The horror of that evil pistol grip!

Likewise all the other items on that list.

Terminal idiots wrote that law. Uninformed fools voted it into law.

I own 4 rifles. One of them has a pistol grip and a folding stock and detachable magazine. 2 have detachable magazines (one of those is a .22 LR rimfire, a squirrel rifle). The most powerful of them (.30-06) is a bolt action with none of those features.

All of them are quite lethal. The .30-06 is the deadliest at long distance and would be legal under this insane law.

Fools will be.

It is unfortunate that many of them are now making laws.

It is up to We The People to vote fools out of office as fast as we can identify them! Voting is more than expressing your opinion, it is a civic duty.

Like taking out the trash it is inconvenient, but you feel good afterwards. :)

One final word on the subject. If you don't vote, don't bitch about government!

Those #ssh#les at KAPA don't seem to get it, do they?

What? They BROUGHT the suit in the first place (over the objections of the NRA, I might add)!

Why are you harder on the Patriots at KABA than on the gun-grabbers?

Is defending LIBERTY your first cause -- or defending the NRA?

I was wrong in this case but I think you should try reading their website once in a while so you can ask them the same thing.

I've read their Web site many times. I think they are right on.

I think the NRA is to gun rights as RINOs are to Republicans: Not all bad, but not much help a good deal of the time, either -- and sometimes working for the enemy (with the best of intentions, of course).

[Shooter 2.5]

So explain just how bringing up thirty year old controversies helps the cause of today.

Blaming the mostly target shooters of the sixties is about as smart as blaming another gun group because they didn't exist. Help KABA buy a clue, will you?

[Centurion2000]

If the USSC does affirm the individual RKBA what does that mean? Does it mean that all Federal Gun control laws are unconstitional? State laws?

It will lay the groundwork for challenging ALL gun laws on the basis that they interfere or 'infringe' on keeping and bearing of arms.

If the Supreme Court rules wrong (against RKBA) on this it will be the end of America and the beginning of the second civil war. This is the most explosive issue that they could possibly rule on.

You may have a point here. But, will you please run for the Presidency of NRA? They need clear-thinkers like you at the top.

[Shooter 2.5]

I like the president we have now.

As far as being clear thinking, I wouldn't have posted on this thread if I was clear thinking.

My Cardiologist better adjust those meds.

An article on English Common Law and the basis for the RKBA.

Hope this helps.

Here is another link, which is more extensive, and refers clear back to the late 13th century.

Indeed. I don't want to lose you. You are one of the good guys.

[yarddog]

Thanks, I just skimmed the second one but will read in depth later.

[RISU]

Yes I believe this. In Vietnam we taught the lrp people and point guys to shoot three round groups in semi to maximnize the hit potential. It permits you to adjust fire and repeat sequence. Firing full auto was reserved for night time when you couldn't see what you were firing at anyway. Even then most rounds after the first few go flying up in the air. Hard to keep the barrel depressed in full auto, especially when you are nervous and excited.

[pabianice]

This Liberal SCOTUS is the WRONG COURT before which to bring the 2nd Amendment. Employing the same head-injury logic of the Michigan Affirmative Discrimination cases, it will almost certainly rule that the 2nd Amendment, while good in theory, just can't be put into practice safely when viewed as part of a "living, breathing Constitution," and thus cannot apply to individuals. Confiscation will follow.

[Shooter 2.5]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm doing my best to stick around. I don't have the quack doctor anymore and things should start to look up. I learned second opinions are mandatory, not a suggestion.
