I want an AK-47, i hear theyre fun to shoot and the ammo is dirt cheap....i can safely say however that im probably one of maybe 3 people in my neighborhood who would want one so im not really worried about being surrounded by them.

Klinton may not have violated that FISA provision, but he did violate the constitution. However, him not being punished does not excuse Herr Bushkin's offenses, either. If you ask me, they should both be punished based upon the extent of their violations of the constitution, but given the size, scope, and nature of our crooked and oversized government, that's not very likely.

This new provision will just give you Brits even more incentive to carry a gun: to shoot any officer willing to unlawfully detain you. Or you could just continue to play by the power elite's rules because you're too scared of the likely reprecussions of defending yourself...


As for us Americans, the ACLU needs to be listened to and perhaps supported in this day and age of surveillance and encroaching fascism. They may not be perfect, but they are one of the precious few organizations standing up for at least some of the rights we are to be garunteed, even if they might partially ignore the 2nd amendment. Not perfect, not by a long shot, but they certainly do more good than harm. They are certainly no lesser evil, either, flawed they may be.

As for the 2nd...
The ACLU agrees with the Supreme Court's long-standing interpretation of the Second Amendment [as set forth in the 1939 case, U.S. v. Miller] that the individual's right to bear arms applies only to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia. Except for lawful police and military purposes, the possession of weapons by individuals is not constitutionally protected. Therefore, there is no constitutional impediment to the regulation of firearms nor does it prohibit reasonable regulation of gun ownership, such as licensing and registration.

The national ACLU is neutral on the issue of gun control. We believe that the Constitution contains no barriers to reasonable regulations of gun ownership. If we can license and register cars, we can license and register guns.
