I love these guys who build AK rifles from scratch in the mountains of the Pakistan/Afghanistan border and I cant remove a 1911 grip screw bushing w/o damaging the bushing and frame.
Ghost Guns forever.....
Where have I mentioned making compromises ? The approach I suggest is a layered approach. The approach that's being pushed here is all or nothing which has NEVER worked in NYS. Please show me two important things. One where have we in NYS ever regained 6 inches of ground and where in the 2nd...
Ok then.....what's your point? Some States cherish firearms rights and some don't ?
There is nothing more I can add to this discussion. It's an exercise in futility. We keep doing the same old thing and expect to get a different result.
All I'm certain of is that the past and current...
Nope. A reduced capacity offering is already established as an industry standard. That's why the 7 round limit in the Safe Act didn't survive judicial review.
That's established case law by the way. You're example is a rather ambitious stretch in an effort to make your point.
Besides, aren't...
Nope....not for a second.
Smart strategy perhaps, just like eating the elephant one bite at a time vs. one big gulp you can't swallow
I don't know how else to point out the obvious. Believe what you must but when things don't change if you're honest with yourself you'll admit the strategy...
I understand and I agree but the magazine capacity means nothing if you can't buy the firearm because it's banned.
Let's work on reversing the AWB ban THEN tackle the mag cap gig. We haven't made progress because in my opinion were looking for a home run when a ground rules double would be a...
Agreed...a magazine is an integral part of a firearm. Nowhere does it say a 30 round mag or 17 round mag. That's the problem.
The argument will be made that there is no infringement because you can still purchase the firearm with a working magazine.
....and that argument will fly same as you...
This isn't a matter of winning or losing an argument. It's about determining whether a reduced capacity magazines is a 2nd Amendment infringement. I'm saying it isn't because since 1994 firearms have been shipped with 10 round magazines that are now considered an industry standard. You and...
With all the constitutional experts here it's a wonder we haven't won the big one yet.
Regardless of the fact that the results achieved thus far has been lacking in the winning dept.
All mouth through the keyboard no facts given to back up the hyperbole. When backed into a corner...all one...
Scalia stated that the right is subject to restrictions. I didn't say it, a SCOTUS member in high esteem said that.
How about coming to grips with that.
That's some cowardly bullshit right there. Something I'd bet you wouldn't have the balls to say to my face. Not to say that's the leftist tactic of deflecting fact and truth by labeling someone a supporter of racism. You should be proud of yourself. I'd bet there's an "expert commentator"...
...and nowhere does it say they can't.
I don't support limitations but I'm realistic enough to know that the "all or nothing" approach has proven to be a zero sum game .
Show me ANYWHERE in the 2nd Amendment, Heller decision, or any other decision for that matter where it says magazine capacity is a PROTECTED right.
If you can't...then admit you're position is based in emotion not logic based upon legal precedent. It was Scalia who stated in his Heller...
With regards to magazine capacity.
Once the 1994 AWB was enacted, the new factory standard for most firearms was issuing a 10 round magazine with the firearm, as shipped from the factory.
When the Federal ban was allowed to expire, certain States retained the 10 round capacity limit and...
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
This bill is going nowhere. No co-sponsors in 22 days. That should tell you all you need to know.
It's a feel good measure, it's smoke and mirrors. Here's another Republican politician who is introducing a piece of legislation that allows him/her to...
Sure does....but after a while fighting the tumor takes all your time effort energy and resources so in order to save the life you cut out the tumor.
Tell me prey tell what can be done in NYC to end infringement of 2nd Amendment rights ? They elected DiBlasio and they'll REELECT him regardless...
The fact that the bill is even making it to his desk should be cause for alarm.
NYC liberals are annexing Westchester County . You're County may be next.
I fail to see how this reality is a shock to anyone. Besides, it's NYC and in the final analysis, who gives a rats ass about the 5 Boroughs.
I feel for those who live in the city and have to deal with their oppressive regulations but where you live is where you live, whether its based out of...
You're "colluding" with Russians again....
Take a good look at the language on the book cover.
Convene a Grand Jury, Robert Mueller is salivating at this very moment.
Agreed Robin.
My take, the only way Unsafe goes away is through a SCOTUS ruling. I don't trust politicians to do a God Damn thing for us. It isn't in their best interest to do so and even SCOTUS is a longshot.
The next avenue of remedy is for the DOJ to take action against States who infringe...
I see desperation.
I see grasping at straws.
I applaud you're digging in with both feet. Me, I'd prefer to wait and see how serious this effort really is.
If it turns out to be another pig in a poke, I'd expect you and others live up to your bravado and admit you've been duped again. I will...
Asking me again to "trust blindly" and accept "that's all I can say right now" reminds me of past efforts that fell flat on their face and I find that insulting to those on this forum who know better.
I apologize for your taking my posts personally. I do not apologize for my pound sand...
There not emotional, they are honest and based upon prior history of events and their subsequent results.
If it passes the House, 60 votes in the Senate is a TALL order.
I have to be honest when I say that this bill only gets peoples hopes up ...nationwide.
" Just understand that if any of those on here have any issues with anything you do or say they will tear you to shreds..."
I have broad shoulders, hit me with your best shot. History and its results validate what I've been saying all along.
I've posted on here numerous times what are options...
I already have. As I said numerous times before, I support the bill. I question Collin's motives for introducing it. If Tresmond has ANY input in it my bullshit meter is placed on high. I don't trust a single one of them to be working on my behalf. They all are looking to get something out of...
I get it now, your the "secret squirrel" press secretary.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Now, how about sharing something of "substance" or are you precluded from doing so by orders.
Truth hurts.
Lie down in bed with whores, don't be surprised you wake up with them in the morning.
I question Collins motives, not the sum and substance of his efforts.
Oh Really ?
"I am aware that the Tresmond's do not have a very warm track record with some of us on gun issues. Seems like they tried and did not have much success. As I understand it, Collin's SAGA bill, HR3576 has its' origins in SCOPE, and the Tresmond's were involved in that."
Not my quote...
Lets set the record straight.
You and the "that's all I can say about it right now" secret squirrel crowd can go pound sand. I trust in NOTHING I can't verify. The legal efforts to overturn UnSafe need not expose tactics and strategy but they MUST be seen to be transparent and honorable from a...
If Jim Tresmond is behind this all I have to say is beware...
His track record us less than stellar and far from professional. We were a PR stunt to him. Even Bombardo eventually caught on and split from his efforts.
Screw me once shame on you. Screw me twice shame on me.
