I spend most my time here or on ARFCOM though.
hmm, I smell a coup... a coup against free speech & information & gun rights education... a lawyer backed image & gun rights laundering business by lawyers.
There should be no such thing as "registration" in this country for any firearm to anyone.
I wish we had a 2nd Amendment in Ireland!
The only reason I can see to help this person is so it didn't happen to others. I hope the NRA stays out of this. I don't want my NRA funds helping someone who doesn't support or even like the NRA.
This is looking more and more like a setup, with a personal vendetta angle against Angel. I just want folks to be aware of the case, and help out if possible. You don't need to know Angel personally to know that he's been a longtime mover and shaker in the RKBA movement. If anybody thinks a letter will help, fire away. If not, just keep your powder dry and we'll see where this goes.
do please keep me posted.
the best I can say of the man at this point is that several people I admire speak highly of him.
for me, that is enough - but I doubt a hostile government would give a crap.
"I don't want my NRA funds helping someone who doesn't support or even like the NRA."
Ditto that. The NRA has a way of selling us gun owners out and I wouldn't want the guy to be sold out, either.
The NRA needs gun control to exist
JFPO is a better group IMO
I know that you worship at the NRA Altar, but not all of us do. It's not the organization that's important, it's the right that we fight to protect. Angel is on the front lines of this battle and deserves support from anyone who cherishes freedom.
Where is the Michigan TRT? I am out of the TRT loop these days, but Angel's a player and a critical freedom resource for the good guys.

Both the state and the federal constitutions give him an unrestricted, enumerated right to bear arms, and the city of Detroit is a political subdivision of the State.
The city cannot legally posses a greater power than that from which it was created.
-----
To try to prevent him from exercising his Constitutionally enumerated rights is a deprivation of rights under color of law:
United States Code TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;
If they do prosecute him, he can turn around and sue the doodle out of 'em.
Ping, in case you're not in any of the lists. Weren't you involved in RKBA issues up there?
The Second Amendment...
America's Only Homeland Security!
Be Ever Vigilant!
If they really set out to get you, they probably will eventually.

So you'd rather support the organization than the ideal? Come on man... You are a better person than that. I know it.
