Semi-clarity. I'd be more interested if he would examine what those processes and criteria are. The devil, after all, is always in the details. |

Maybe I should not bring this up here, as we have debated this before (LOL), but could not the same things be say about the gun laws (#2 amendment). With the first amendment, you can have free speech, but people seem to agree that there are limits and that free speech is no "'absolute". With the #2 amendment, it seems (and I may be wrong) that one side says that there can not be any limits (or almost no limits) on the amendment. |

I think all reasonable people agree that there should be limits on the 2nd amendment - hand grenades, tanks, bazookas, fully automatic weapons are all illegal for private ownership (for the most part). |

That is a good point George K. I always think that the 2 amendment is only about guns, but I guess it is about all weapons. |

Yes, there are a lot of limits on the 2nd amendment freedoms. The NRA agrees with this. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

What is most highly regulated, is what the Feds refer to as "destructive devices", or Class 3. Want a tank? One with a working main gun? Because of the current ban on importation of Class 3 weapons for sale to the general public, it's a bit hard to do, but not impossible. We just need to find one in-country, before the ban. It needs to have available ammunition. It will cost $200 over the price of the tank for the Class 3 stamp for the main gun. Any working machine guns will also generate an additional $200 each...Ammo is fine, as as it's 50 Cal or smaller. Each main gun round will cost the price of the shell, plus a $200 tax stamp per shell. So, for the cost of the tank plus ammo, an additional $1200 will let you fire off 5 rounds of HE, AP or HEAT. |
