Good thing I have the equipment and can make a projectile in abut 30 seconds from a common wheel weight from a car.

Bullet serialization will do nothing to stop crime. It'll be like the database in Maryland IIRC where they take the ballistic fingerprint of a fired cartridge from each firearm.

Hasn't solved a crime to date, and costs taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars per year.

Opinions will vary and this you have proved

GUN CONTROL

Quote James Madison

“The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country.”

“Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.”

"Wherever the real power in a government lies, there is a danger of oppression. In our government, the real power lies in the majority of the Community... Government is the mere instrument of the major number of constituents.”

“Whenever there is an interest and a power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done and not less readily by a powerful and interested party, than by a prince.”

“I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”

Well AONE it seems that you missed this reply to jtur88

jtur88,

I'm glad I gave you the opportunity to increase your post count !

As for the Cut & Paste...Yes I did and I also would like to make
an apology to the board as I should have cut out the part about
Mr. Obama. This type of government control has just got to far
out of hand in my opinion, However I do feel he'll support
this type legislation at the federal level.

No "new" crimes were created in the Simpson case. He was indicted on the 10 seperate counts because there were 10 seperate violations of law.

Simply because of the increased potential for the infliction of bodily harm.

Typical clever obama supporter slang that says nothing but make him /her feel better has gotten in a name calling.
