>>>I think someone from the government will be along to remind everyone that Randy Weaver was a felon, and the none of this would have happened if he hadn't sawed off that shotgun barrel.<<<

The barrel was "legal". The overall length of the shotgun was slightly under the "legal" limit. Weaver became a "felon" when he gave in to the insistence of the undercover federal mole to make the stock shorter. Weaver was railroaded by a rouge, overzealous, government agency.

Let's keep this all in perspective. There is nothing unconstitutional about owning a sawed-off shotgun. However, the federal law that ban's sawed-off shotguns is unconstitutional: it is tyranny.

I don't disagree at all. In fact, I consider that post a pre-emtive warning to watch out for the inevitable fallacies we will be presented with in an effort to mollify anyone who asks inconvenient questions.
