I bet that this case will reach the appeals courts, and possibly the SCOTUS.

Don't bet too much.

-- The fed courts usually 'uphold' the concept that Congress can prohibit 'dangerous' types of weapons, and the SCOTUS simply refuses to hear the case.

The only thing that will end the stalemate, imo, -- is a State refusing to cooperate with the feds.

I realize it just fine. I don't like it a bit.

I'm also a realist, and trying to fight something from 25 years ago, in the way these guys did, is just stupid.

Like I say, give me a ping when you post your vanity prior to going out in a blaze of "glory".

Why? -- Perhaps they had a moment of temporary sanity?

Definitely so, and I wish them good luck. The NRA should have challenged it long ago.

I informed the batf once of illegal gun possesions and loopholes through divorces. and they said it were a civilian problem... the guys getting the guns were foreign muzlims paid by my ex with my guns for work... nah, it's a girl thing the batf lady told me.

These people working for the gov have procedures and brainwash workshops which distorts their targets... you bring an issue they are not specifically trained in, they won't do crap

Correction - definitely NOT on the NFA. And was that their intent?

It's worse than that Elmer... and you'd know that if you weren't so hell bent on being a 'tard about this. The NFA of '34 needs to go, not just the GCA of '68 or the "sporting purpose" clause of the FOPA. The only way for it to "go away", in todays political climate, is to break it and get a "clean" 2A case before the court.

None of these guys caught in this sweep have priors. The ONLY "crime" is possession of an "arm" the current government doesn't want us to "keep" or "bear" which is an unConstitutional "infringment" of our "Right".

So, instead of wading in with the insults for gun owners who are fed up with the abuse of our RKBA, who about you pull your head out of the dank smelly place and realize THIS is the good fight.

The NRA has a long history of 'going along to get along', -- with the feds.

DC, I dont think freedomPoster is being a tard about this, I just think FP may be missing the bigger picture.

Hollis Fincher is 60 years old, and the head of a militia in Northwest Arkansas. Mr. Fincher has been flaunting his possession of weapons that our beloved gooberment has deemed as bad for us.

DC you are correct with this statement... "THIS is the good fight." There will be no better time in our lives for this to hit the S.C.

I do not know Mr. Fincher, so I can not speak for him. Based on what I've read so far, I think Mr. Hollis "Wayne" Fincher may be looking to take this one all the way to the top, and I for one hopes he does and wins.

I wonder if the German Jews had chosen to "go out in a blaze of glory" could they not at least have taken out a few hundred thousand Nazis?

An evil man's best weapon is a good man's disbelief in the existence of evil.

I'd feel safer if they were actually trying to stop illegal immigration rather than terrorizing old men with homemade guns.
