This is a messed up thread btw.

Amazing how many Freepers complain endlessly about how screwed up the government and courts are, but never stop to think that as a result, something like this might well happen to them. Especially the firearms owners, who in many states run increasing risk of imprisonment every day simply by carrying out day-to-day activities with firearms in their posession or in their vehicles.

A subset of conservative "Christians" that I call Old Testament Retributionists seem to be the primary offenders. God is on their side, after all, so who cares what happens to those other people.

Excellent point. 5 years in the joint in some states for "high capacity" mags. 5 years. Insane.

Your point about firearms deserves to be re-iterated. Anyone who owns a gun has a tenuous relationship with legality, especially if they travel with it. There are so many laws and regulations at so many levels it's hard to be in compliance all the time.

A prime example is the "school zone" law, which was struck down but quietly reinstated. How many of you have driven within 1000 feet of a school with a gun in your car lately? If ATF or some other agency decides to set up a roadblock to enforce that statute, you may be in trouble if you get caught by it (I wanted to say "screwed", but the subject matter on this thread would render that decision as being in poor taste).
