    Sure. We should turn anybody loose with a hundred-round drum or an assault rifle without at least a modicum of verification...



    You do realize the only difference between the "Assault Rifles" they want to ban and other rifles is the way they look right? Educate yourself on the types of weapons they want to ban.

    Like cars, which can also be Instruments of Death, some sensibility in their ownership and use is required.



    We are talking about rights...not privileges. The Constitution does not guarantee anyone the right to a car or any other type of transportation. It does give us the right to own weapons.

  4. Here is a quote from the ruling that pertains to Militia.

    "the activities [the Amendment] protects are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contingent upon his or her continued or intermittent enrollment in the militia."

    That is from DC V. Heller. How does that "kick it to the curb'? They simply said that the 2nd Amendment does NOT ONLY apply in the case of the Militia.

    THe McDonald V. Chicago case, as far as I can see doesnt even address Militia.

    IMO Militias are not silly. Not since they took control of the National Guard away from the states.

    A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.



    What is a militia? Most states have what is called a State Defense Force (SDF). These Militias are the only force that states now have to actually protect it self from the Federal Govt.. These State Defense Forces are not typically provided with weapons. Hell, they have to even provide their own uniforms. IF and when the Federal Govt. turns on the people, by banning all "Assault Rifles" they effectively reduce these SDF's to handguns and shotguns. This is what they 2nd amendment is about.

    Flame away.

  8. A .308 will not only stop a dear dead in its track, but just about anything else and they dont want to ban those. I would rather be shot with an AR-15. Scary looking is not more deadly. If you strip down the scary plastic off of these so called Assault Rifles, they are no more dangerous then a "hunting rifle".

    Most hunting rifles only hold about 7 rounds...but some can be modified (legally) to hold more. The weapons they want to ban only look more dangerous. Banning magazines that hold more then 10 rounds really doesnt do anything. It takes less then 3 seconds to reload an AR-15. It may take you only 6 to 8 seconds longer to fire off 30 rounds.

    Tougher laws on those that use guns while committing a crime well help this problem, not taking them away from law abiding citizens. You use a gun to commit a crime you go to jail for life...PERIOD. You commit murder with a gun you go to jail for life...PERIOD. So you better make sure you are really protecting yourself and not shooting first and asking questions later. It wont stop them from committing the crime in the first place, but you can be damn sure they wont do it again.

  10. I have no problem with profiling though. Just wish he hadn't drawn his weapon. I was real quick to remind him, he asked me to exit the vehicle. He gave no other instructions. "I'm complying" I said. He calmed down a little. Even apologized after he ripped my car apart. That sucked, because I was moving from florida to california and had to repack my car. He did miss my weed pipe though. Lol

  11. He was sitting on the side of the road. Pulled out to follow. Pulled up beside me. Fell back. Pulled up beside again. Fell back. I'm sure he ran my plates at some point. The second time he pulled up. I wanted to roll down my window and ask him if he wanted me to stop for him.

    BTW, what is it you have been doing that causes cops to constantly want to search your vehicle? I've been driving for 30+ years, had my share of traffic tickets, and have only been asked once if they could search my car. I declined their request and the cop was fine with my decision. Maybe because i treated him with respect? Nah, that couldn't be it.



    Grew up in a rough neighbor hood. Look hispanic to a lot of people. The time in texas. I was driving along the texas/mexico border in a car with Florida plates. When I asked him why he pulled me over, he really didn't have an answer. He followed me for a long time before he pulled me over. Bottom line he profiled me. What ever. I was glad to know someone was looking for bad guys.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the messages weren't stored somewhere at the provider, either.



    Don't be. I'm sure they do. Remember when iPhones first came out? People were getting bills that were thousands of pages long. Every call and text was I'm those bills.

    Really? You've never checked a perp's collar or beltline during a Terry stop? Never felt inside the top of a pair of boots to see if a knife is clipped in there? Never asked a stop "mind if I take a look around your vehicle?"



    Not a cop, so no I haven't. Checking my collar is not the same as what the TSA it's doing. Every time a cop had asked to search my vehicle...I have told them they do not have my permission. Only one pushed it further by calling a k9 unit. Dog found nothing, they never searched my car further then that. He wasn't happy about but he had no cause.

    Actually I did let one cop search my vehicle in texas. We where out in the middle of the desert. Just me and him. He asked me to step out of the car. I guess I moved to fast for him. He drew on me for no reason. Since he was so jumpy, I figured I didn't want to give him a reason to pistol whip me or worse.

    I understand your point, but saying it's not a search because it's called a frisk or a patdown is stretching the point - the purpose is still to discover a possible weapon.



    The point is, there is a legal difference between a pat down and actually searching someone.

    They may be similar... but they are different. In a pat down, it is only on the outside of your clothes. They can only seize what is "immediately identifiable". If they feel a gun or knife your fucked. If they feel a pack of smokes in my pocket, they can not take it out and look inside the pack.

    A true search is what the TSA is doing. Under the clothes, going through your personal belongings. Touching peoples junk. For that according to the constitution...they need a search warrant...or you have already been placed under arrest.

  23. Really man? You don't see the difference between a pat down and a search?

    What part f that is giving you comprehension difficulties?



    If you want to start being an ass...I would say you are the one that does not comprehend. Read both descriptions then talk shit.

    What the fuck do you think the pat down/frisk is FOR????



    Police will ask for permission to pat you down. They do it for their safety. They do have to ask your permission though. They will make it sound like a statement but they are supposed to get permission. You can refuse as long as you are not under arrest.It is a simple "pat down" on the outside of your clothes. They can not go into your pockets or under your clothes.

    A search is when they take shit out of your pockets. Reach under your clothes. Touch your genitals...all the stuff that the TSA is doing.
