On those few times that we were able to pry anything out of him, his recounts usually included something along the lines of "that's when things started to get 'sporty'".<br /><br />So.... Flying a P51-D into combat over Germany was considered "sporty" by him and his peers. Now then, using FedGov's technique of twisting the language to meet a given purpose, couldn't we say that a fighter aircraft carrying 6 M2 Brownings meets the "sporting purposes" test? ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-37799251422645494102012-12-10T06:04:21.239-06:002012-12-10T06:04:21.239-06:00I think it's quite sporting to give the tyrant...I think it's quite sporting to give the tyrants an opportunity to (try) outrunning our bullets. Warrior Class is right, and I know it's been said before but I'll say it again here 'for effect':<br />***EVERYTHING*** we're doing right now 'is dress rehearsal for war'. It's inevitable and it will be bloody. Obama's communist brownshirts will turn out, and for all their bluster about taking weapons off the streets we all know that the feds (like F&F) have been arming the street gangs.<br /><br />The NRA, their hearts may be in the right place, but those clowns have and continue to do more damage to RKBA than if they did absolutely NOTHING. They compromise and appease. Sorry, but I'll pick Gunowners of America any day of the week over NRA.<br />What I would like to know is where they're gonna put that 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo they intend to use to disarm us, and how many locks does one have to pick to get in there and confiscate it?<br /><br />Let'em feel froggy; we'll just skin them alive and make frog legs!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-16057518212831748002012-12-09T23:50:11.183-06:002012-12-09T23:50:11.183-06:00"Yank 111", Not only that,But Obama and ... "Yank 111", Not only that,But Obama and his collaboratively repub GOPe buddies,know darn well that Obama lost the election,not "Won" the election in a Massive landslide by Voter Fraud. Both Political Parties know the Vast Majority of the American people are against their marxist/islamist agenda.<br /><br /> What Obama and company are trying to do,is pull off the biggest "Poker Bluff" in History,by trying to make the American people believe he has an actual "Mandate" to Ban Firearms along with imposing the rest of statist agenda. It's all a facade and a House of cards waiting to come down. The reaction to Bob Costas little anti-Second Ammendment screed on Sunday Night Football, proved that as it was overwhelmingly negative.

(Technically, those and even copper solids could be considered "armor piercing" under the current law based on composition rather than actual efficacy.<br /><br />The ATF says that this comment period is because they have been requested to grant this sporting purposes exception.<br /><br />My guess is that Barnes requested this exception. My quick Google search didn't find any articles on the ban on their bullets since January. Those January articles promised legal action was forthcoming. However, they may have been slapped down by courts, or warned by their attorneys that they would be slapped down if they did not first seek an administrative fix to the ruling (see legal principle of ripeness of an issue for a court challenge).<br /><br />If this is the case, then perhaps ATF will grant this exception and Barnes' bullets will be available again. Adding another Sporting Purposes test is not a good thing, but may take us back to the status quo of last year.<br /><br />Alternatively, ATF may well use this to keep Barnes' bullets illegal and to come after other bullets.<br /><br />It all depends on just how froggy they're feeling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-9258388654130414432012-12-09T10:32:09.207-06:002012-12-09T10:32:09.207-06:00BTW, here's the direct link to ATF's comme...BTW, here's the direct link to ATF's comment section:<br /><br />APAComments@atf.govAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-51858952884688790122012-12-09T10:29:52.808-06:002012-12-09T10:29:52.808-06:00Here's my comment:
You simply have no right ...Here's my comment: <br /><br />You simply have no right to regulate weapons or ammunition under the guise of "sporting uses" under the 2nd Amendment, nor do you under Miller V. US wherein the high court ruled the ONLY weapons protected by the 2nd Amendment were ones with military purposes since overthrow of tyrannical government and defense of the country were the main aims of the 2A....in spite of the "sporting uses" clause that was unconstitutionally pushed through by the GCA of '68. The 2nd Amendment never was and never will be about hunting, no matter how many times that lie is repeated.<br /><br />People are starting to wake up to the history of the gun control argument....and as more and more people buy firearms (as we've seen over the last 4 years) and learn these facts, the harder time you will have banning them or restricting their possession and use. Many people have simply decided your rules are just no longer relevant. Free men don't ask permission to defend themselves and their families with whatever is most expedient and efficient, as natural rights would dictate. Government does not issue any rights and the Constitution and Bill of Rights merely enumerate rights inherent to the human condition.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Sean King<br />Mesa, AZ<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-70944592389146196172012-12-09T10:18:48.500-06:002012-12-09T10:18:48.500-06:00Worst NRA/ILA article ever.....no easy link to add...Worst NRA/ILA article ever.....no easy link to add your comments to the ATF.
