Same here. ;-)
Tyranny is whim.
Handgun importation requires adherence to a points-based list of various features, with a minimum total score required for permission. It’s why smaller models started sporting features like finger grooves: more points. The .380 does not quite achieve minimum score due to its caliber. (Didn’t say the list was sensible, just that it’s there.)
In other cases, the ATF has rescinded letter rulings and caused problems for those who had begun production or sales based on approvals. Contradictory rulings have cost gun manufacturers and dealers hundreds of thousands of dollars in spent and anticipated revenue.
It's the same reason Clinton banned cheap Norinco ammo. Make owning guns costly.
How about increasing the number of liberty loving Justices on SCOTUS first? It’s an awfully thin line between liberty and tyranny.
We’ve got to capture and hold Congress for a couple generations. How about a return to the Lochner Era?
Yeah...I love it. It gives me a good 200+ yard range as a stand off weapon and it is built like a tank. It has buckhorn sights but also has a rail that attachs with a few screws so I can mount a scope to it. A great find for sure.
I always wanted a Winchester 94 but couldn't really afford one.
Wifey refuses to entertain such thoughts until the kids are out of college. They go to a MA state school...MA loans and such. Plus I am entrenched with the company I work for and intend to retire with them. Their corp HQ is here. I could work pretty much anywhere remotely but that would take some doing.
I am due to be sent out to a new center in Utah to train some newbs next month. Depending on what I see out there, I may decide to get transferred out there. It's close enough to Idaho to make it a worthwhile commute.
So...for now...it's life in the sewer. Though with what is going on here and elsewhere these days, wifey is starting to see the light. I keep telling here the light at the end of that tunnel is a freight train and we have a limited window to get off the tracks. We'll see.
Try to determine from Treasury or any federal bank examiner what the definition of “asset” is for a bank.
G-man: “What do we do?”
Burt Gummer: “You do what you do best: find something simple and complicate it!”
From Tremors 3. Tells you everything you need to know about government agencies.
Robert E. Sanders, an ATF official for 24 years who is now a North Carolina lawyer specializing in firearms matters, said letter rulings are often “definitely contradictory and inconsistent,” but are necessary because the regulations being applied are ill-defined.These are all signs of a VERY CORRUPT administration. If one manufacturer shares its wealth with certain DC individuals and re-election campaigns, and has a powerful union, and is willing to share its gun-registration data, it might get its gun approved. If a 2nd competitor is "greedy", and does NOT want to share its wealth with DC shakedown artists, or be overrun by unions, or NOT share its purchaser's data, it might NOT get its gun approved. The ambiguity of their regulations, and their SECRECY of how they ruled in the past is key to maximizing the terrorist-like demands they force upon the gun makers. This reminds me of when Hillary and Bill wanted gun manufacturers to build in an automatic kill-switch so that LE or the gov' could disable our guns in a national emergency. |
Thanks.
I can understand why you are living where you are, although it seems that you do want to make tracks out of there ASAP. And who would blame you?
You seem to be developing some good options that may make it sooner rather than later. Heck, I’d think that living in either Utah or Idaho would be great!
Again, I appreciate your explaining why you find it necessary to live where you do.
P.S. I always appreciate reading your comments on various threads.
Making laws so complicated that each case must be individually decided by bureaucrats is the how the rule of law is completely subverted to the rule by man.
Progressives love that.
The problem that I see with this is the fact that we may NEVER get there. Lets just say I've been around awhile and decades have past waiting for the right time to get aggressive. The time is now, today, every day from here out until we have our freedom. I have been hearing Rush say about the Republicans that "No one ever won ANYTHING by playing defense". He's right. This applies to 2nd amendment rights also. We are where we are today with the NFA, the BATFE and all the other crap that we are putting up with because we have been playing defense for years. it's time to go on offense, quit asking and start demanding. The 2nd amendment is clear and the right is absolute, no exceptions.
We need to take the NFA to the supreme court but we have to put the court on notice. ( you better learn to read or your lifetime appointments are going bye bye!!). These nine people don't have the final say, it is we the people that will decide. We need to give them a chance but don't fear a loss. If the supremes can't read and get this simple decision correct we will change the court. simple as that.
This applies to Obamacare as well.
Bottom line: Time is a luxury we don't have. Now is the time to attack and we keep attacking until we win.
