Well, there's the frag list.

Ahem! Let me just say that that is not what I had in mind in post #18. It's not! I figured SteveH was speaking tongue-in-cheek when he said "it's for identification purposes only" and I was just bouncing off of that to indicate that I recognized the utility of having addresses to write to.

Now that I've made that disclaimer...I'll just say the list may have more than one valid use.

The elites don't see the obvious way around this. I'll just form the 1st Minnesota Militia, then we can have the 2nd Minnesota Militia, and then the 3rd, etc. Everyone that wants to join pays 5 bucks a year. Gotcha!!!

The note at the end may have come from the Legal Community against Violence, where I got the statement from.

I'll just say the list may have more than one valid use.

Agree ;-) !

Which is why I said: "Michael Bellesiles has been a big benefit to upholding the 2nd Amendment." In a similar regard to politics so was Bill Clinton. What Bellesiles is to gun control Bill Clinton is to politics.

This one name says it all.

What you say is true and I can be thankful to Micheal Bellesiles but for Bill Clinton. I have nothing but utter contempt, loathing and a fierce and focused hope that he will recieve his full due in this life, sooner rather than later.

I can't seperate the fact that political ignorance and apathy allowed Clinton to happen and I know his 'legacy' has awakened a lot of people (myself included) but I'll never be thankful for him. The world could not help but be better without him. And his wife.

[TigersEye]

but not for Clinton. (I hate when I do that.)

They told him "the Second Amendment permits broad and intensive regulation of firearms" and urged him to move beyond such trifles as constitutional guarantees

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"

regulation=infringement

I won't make fun of his possibly unfortunate name but I believe he is the foremost law scholar on the side of the gun grabbers at this time. Here is his website at Roger Williams University. He has written many articles on the Second Amendment and often appears in gun control debates.
