Gov's new attack on First and Second Ammendments, New Proposed Rule

[Little Jack]

Or....

Spend the time telling your other friends and telling your reps how much bullshit you think this is. Whether or not you think it'll work, that's the only legal recourse we have. It worked for the 855. It needs to work for this.

OR..


get some hot tar, feathers, few rail posts, some rope, a bag of chiggers and head to DC...

Some vets tried that after ww1 over benifits promised but never delivered. Actually the just marched and set up a tent city to protest. It didn't turn out so ready for them.

I don't know the recourse, but as little jacks guns stated it's the option we are all aware of right now. Either do it, or, don't.

The Battle of Athens Tennessee 1946. Just enough force was used to take back what was theirs from a corrupted government.

Come on people, let's bitch about it more so we can make it to 20 pages!

Or we just wait again till our rights are taken from us and then be happy when they give us some of them back.........

Every response un the Federal register will be counted pro or con. Furthermore, the responses must be considered. It is the Law. The responces become part of the public record and can be used in future Court proceedings if needed. Let your elected officials feel the weight of each letter upon their backs until our voices humble them to take action and do what they know is right but have not the courage by themselves. It is the one extra straw tha breaks the camels back.

Yep, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. He's gonna slash and burn till they drag him and his wife kicking and screaming out of the White House. That is if he doesn't find a way to stay in.

Sean; At the risk of violating Ian's wishes; It is a physical possibility, that the present POTUS, may be planning a sex change operation--thus becoming a female, with a new identity, such as: Bobbie-Helene Obama, who never served as POTUS. When apprised of this possible revolting campaign development, Hillary was heard to remark--"what difference, at this point, does it make?" "he never had any balls, as it was--maybe except for golf, and even those were almost always LOST". More seriously, the SCOTUS would have to adjudicate such a happenstance. Ian, I apologize if the foregoing steps over the disrespectful line.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a mixed decision, a federal appeals court on Friday struck down as unconstitutional several strict gun registration laws in the nation's capital, but upheld other restrictions aimed at public safety.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 that the city cannot ban gun owners from registering more than one pistol per month or require owners to re-register a gun every three years. The court also invalidated requirements that owners make a personal appearance to register a gun and pass a test about firearms laws.
But the court upheld other parts of the law, such as requiring that so-called long guns — including rifles and shotguns — be registered along with handguns. The ruling also allows gun owners to be fingerprinted and photographed, pay certain fees and complete a firearms safety training course.
In all, the court upheld six gun laws and struck down four.
The District of Columbia put the registration laws in place after a landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision that struck down a 32-year-old handgun ban in the District of Columbia. The high court ruled in that case the Second Amendment protects handgun possession for self-defense in the home.
A federal judge had previously upheld all the new registration laws.
District of Columbia officials argued that the laws were aimed at preserving gun owners' constitutional rights while also protecting the community from gun violence.
But writing for the appeals court majority, Judge Douglas Ginsburg said some of the laws did not pass constitutional muster. He rejected, for example, the city's argument that the one-pistol-per-month rule would reduce illegal trafficking in weapons.
"The suggestion that a gun trafficker would bring fewer guns into the District because he could not register more than one per month there lacks the support of experience and of common sense," Ginsburg said.
Ginsburg, who was appointed by President Ronald Regan, was joined by Judge Patricia Millett, an appointee of President Barack Obama.
Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, named to the court President George H. W. Bush, dissented in part, saying she would have upheld all the registration laws. She said the majority should have shown more deference to public officials trying to create a workable firearms policy.
Henderson noted that Washington is different from other jurisdictions given the "unique security risks" in a city filled with high-level government officials, diplomats, monuments and government buildings that ban guns.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said she was not surprised by the decision after she was informed of the ruling during a radio interview.
"Our gun laws have been under attack for many years," Bowser said. "We obviously disagree."
Bowser, a Democrat, said the District of Columbia Council should be free to pass laws with "reasonable restrictions" on gun ownership in their city.
Only six states and the District require gun owners to register some or all firearms, according to the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The District is one of only a few places — including Hawaii and California — that also have registration requirements for rifles and shotguns.
