  1. Government officials don’t give a shit about your civil rights. They are more than happy to regulate your life, and use all of their resources in the public sector, including taxpayer-funded allies, to strip away your freedoms and control you.

    It shouldn’t be a left or right issue.

    Was modifying the yardage presets for the ballistic turret on my Swaro tonight. I polished the action awhile back on this Sako and now it’s damn smooth. Just cycling the bolt gets my blood pumping like no other firearm ever has. The patina on the bolt handle is changing with more use, building more character. This old gun is becoming a favorite, can’t wait to take it hunting again.

    After giving back Gaza and the way they were treated afterwards, Israel owes Palestinians nothing IMHO.

    Shocked that didn’t create lasting peace.

  4. Well hell, let's ban semiautomatic pistols too.  See how this works?


    Funny thing that there used to be a push for decades to ban handguns, hence “Handgun Control Inc.”

    The movement has since morphed to a new villain.
  5. There was a boat load of Constitution waving assholes who thought that they had every right to enforce segregation and "state's rights".    How'd that work out for those guys.   And good luck with your society of 300 million individual interpretations on what the constitutional permissibly of the law means.    For many West Virginians it might mean it is OK to fuck their sisters in the ass and maybe or maybe not marry them, depending on how well that went.    I shudder to think about a state like Oklahoma left to itself, entirely unfettered by any law.   
    But that's just me.
     


    Good job on bringing up Jim Crow and sister fucking to the debate. Didn’t see those in the BOR.

    My point is either you believe that the right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable INDIVIDUAL right, or if it is something to be abridged by a politician and interpreted by bureaucrats.

    I don’t know how you would feel about the other amendments with the same restrictions by a benevolent oversight. Perhaps you think like minded individuals will be in charge.

    Well, turns out, Heavy6 is not the arbiter of civil liberties.  The courts are, with SCOTUS having the final say .  And the Heller decision leaves in place the government's right to regulate many aspects of gun ownership.   I assume that you read it.  Because SCOTUS decides what regulations are allowable. 
    The late Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinion in Heller said some things you should know. 
    1. Government may prohibit the carrying of concealed weapons;
    2. Government may restrict “the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill”;
    3. Government may forbid “the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings”;
    4. Governments may impose “conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms”; and
    5. Government may prohibit the carrying of “dangerous and unusual weapons.”
     
    So the first obvious point is that nothing infringes on a civil liberty, in a legal sense , until the last court says it does (or does not).   The second is that there is a shit-ton of ambiguity right now about those five allowable government limitations on the unbridled Second Amendment.   So limiting high capacity round mags are at least arguably within #s 4 and 5 above.  
    With the NRA and SAF filing suit on most restrictions, that ambiguity will be cleaned up with time.   Not sensibly trying to reach a compromise could well lead the Court to issue an interpretation that is even more limiting than the one a government is proposing.   So you have to watch what you ask for.     
     
     

     


    The majority of nine people don’t determine our rights here, or in North Korea for that matter.

    If you believe that way, fine.

     

  7. Ten might be the magic number, the more I think of it.  That leaves most pistols alone - or retrofitable.   Hand guns like my 9mm Ruger have a 17 and ten round capacity mag.   So that law does not render it worthless.  Revolvers would be fine.   So ten is a compromise.   And I thought about a misdemeanor, but if it was not a gut punch lose your job thing, many of the gun folks I know would risk it.   With a loss of voting rights and a two year stay in federal pound-you-in-the-ass-prison, the pressure not to ruin the family over a ten versus 30 round mag would be far greater.


    Good brainstorm coming up with ideas of infringing civil liberties, guys.
  8. I lost interest in having this retarded argument after some dork on a Tech board tried to argue with me that .22 caliber and .223 caliber NATO rounds were the same. Gun nuts have zero interest in good faith arguments. They will browbeat you with technicalities until they're blue in the face.



    Technicalities like banning the shoulder thing that goes up.
  9. They can't be priced worse than the Colt Pythons, are they?

     

     

    Lol no. This is much rarer than a Python, but maybe half the value of a stainless.

     

    Colt wheelguns have gone up crazy in price over the last 5-10 years.
