once AGAIN, we don't allow talk of secession on this board.
FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.

That sounds like something an agent of a repressive government would say.

No, that's something our gracious host says. This isn't the place for such discussions.

In only eight posts, you've managed to violate the three forum rules set out below. Please stop now. It would be real good idea to go here an read all of the Forum Rules.

No. I think the problem here is that while some of you seem to like rights that our constitution gives us, like the 2nd amendment. But at the same time you don't accept free speech, which really is more important than any other right we have.

So, instead of arguing a moot point with a "dictator" I choose to no longer come to this site, or recommend it to any of my friends. I see now a membership here is a waste of my time.

1st amendment rights do not come into play on a privately owned and ran Internet site. Rules and guidelines were to be agreed to when you signed up. If you can't abide by them, then you are not allowed to participate.

Well said, Keith! Personally I think the Second Amendment is the most important because without it there isn't any way to ensure the First.

Perhaps but our most powerful weapon in defending the 2nd so far has been the first.

So, to get back to the original reason for this post :nono: , This particular bill has been sent to the judiciary committe, but there are about 30 such bills that have been introduced that cover everything from registration to manditory safes for gun owners, to the one gun per month limit. What I found interesting is that the majority of the sponsers are from eithey Calif., NY, NJ or Mich. All very democrat controlled and all with repressive gun laws.
Write your congress person and stay alert. The web site http://www.ccrkba.org/ is a good place to keep track of legislation. There are some good bills out there that we need to support and urge our representatives to support or even co-sponsor.

Emailed and got a reply back from my Rep.

In it he thanked me for my input, and reaffirmed his belief in the 2nd amendment.

Hopefully you already voted for these folks, now let them know what you think.
