I agree completely.
Well, considering that the BATF has NO STANDARDS of testing and no written procedures on determination of the status of a weapon, I suspect that they'll have some problems getting a conviction like in the Wrenn case.

Which will then refuse to hear it.
You sure do have quite ythe admiration for the BATFags.
If you admire him so much perhaps you should emulate his stunt.
What qualifies him as an "asshole"? He had no criminal record and was described by those in the community as a peaceful man. Why your disdain for him?
Do you always slander people with no criminal record who are acting in accordance with their Constitutionally protected Rights?
He was aware of the law and he was most certainly aware that he was risking consequences for any real or perceived violation of that law. Thus I referred to him as a martyr.
You interpreted that as supporting the BATF. That is not the case. Either he intentionally did what he did in support of his issue or he was a dumbass for trying to circumvent the system.
The undeniable fact of life is that actions have consequences.
It is amusing that you folks piss and moan about law enforcement when you should be complaining about the legislative branch of Government that either formulates these laws or fails to perform oversight functions.
The "system" is unconstitutional and defying it is an honorable action. Did you refer to Rosa Parks as a "dumbass" as well?
Nah, they are protecting against an armed coup (sp?).
If the "system" is unconstitutional, why was he arrested and why will he be prosecuted? So he is a martyr instead of a dumbass. Fair enough.
What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty...Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.
SCOTUS will probably overturn South Dakota's abortion ban, and the Gay marrige ban in those states that have them as well.
It also explains why the Left wants the military practically destroyed. It Prevents them from committing a coup should the US government decide it is time to go majorly extraconstitutional and take guns away from the citizens.
Shoot...an M1 carbin can spit out plenty and you have control too. If you want knock down, the Garand. If you want kick, the 1903 or the Enfield 1917. If you want B&G, any good pump shotgun will do...
If the "system" is unconstitutional, why was he arrested and why will he be prosecuted?
Because the legislative branch of Government that formulates these laws is ignoring the Constitution and failing to perform its oversight functions. -- And the executive branch is also ignoring & failing to enforce only constitutional laws.
He was aware of the law and he was most certainly aware that he was risking consequences for any real or perceived violation of that law. Thus I referred to him as a martyr.
You also referred to him as an a-hole & dumb-ass for raising a test case on a constitutional issue.
You interpreted that as supporting the BATF. That is not the case.
Your saying "-- If the "system" is unconstitutional --" makes your support clearly pro-prohibitional.
Either he intentionally did what he did in support of his issue or he was a dumbass for trying to circumvent the system. The undeniable fact of life is that actions have consequences. It is amusing that you folks piss and moan about law enforcement when you should be complaining about the legislative branch of Government that either formulates these laws or fails to perform oversight functions.
It is amusing that you pro-prohibition folks piss and moan about being seen as supporting 'big' gov't and the ATF when you don't complain about the legislative branch of Government that formulates these socalled 'laws'...
I suppose if one were skilled in machining and design then having your own unlawful but secret automatic weapon for the extremest of emergencies could be rational.
Taunting those with lots more power and firepower than you isn't rational.

"Could be"? What's irrational about wanting the freedom to keep & bear full auto weapons?

He wasn't "taunting", -- he's raised a test case hoping he can get his case heard in the USSC. -- I really can't understand how ~anyone~ could rationally object to his effort.
Can you explain your reason?
"He was aware of the law and he was most certainly aware that he was risking consequences for any real or perceived violation of that law. Thus I referred to him as a martyr."
I think he was aware of the law too, He's sixty years old, and the head of a militia, he kept his wepons properly stored, he had no criminal record, what better place can you think of to start this battle?
"The undeniable fact of life is that actions have consequences." ... and not all are bad.
Mr. Hollis "Wayne" Fincher may be doing us ALL a great service...and only time will tell. We could witnessing history in the making. One can only hope.
