i'm tired and read 'bout half' your complaint/suit.
part of my career was as an officer in 'the merch': what the h*ll is your problem!? the mates got the weapons, if needed, @ sea.
u may have a technically sustainable position, but, pardon me, u sound 'like a troublemaker'.
for your efforts, good luck

I might ask the same of you. . . What the H*ll is your problem!?

My suit is not intended to arm Merchant Seaman aboard ships. You misconstrue what you read. You should have read the rest of it. It is the LAW that when Merchant Seaman are not employed aboard ship the fall under the legal jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation under U.S. law and not under Maritime Law of Coast Guard Jurisdiction.

U.S. Merchant Seaman have Second Amendment rights while ashore in the United States. John Ashcroft and President Bush say the Second Amendment is an individual right. I am simply calling them on that assertion.

Merchan Seaman,

Good luck on your suit. There are indeed Second Amendment advocates here, and I'm sure lots of them will hope you give the government the hell it deserves. The liberals use the legal system all the time to "make trouble" on behalf of their causes. Conservatives need to quit their love affair with the status quo and quit playing nicey-nice--we need to turn the tables on the government and rattle some cages ourselves.
