yes, that's the guy i mean.
i was hoping Kelly would barf in the guy's lap ala GW.
“Because a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” In other words, the amendment is really about protecting militias, notwithstanding the originalist arguments to the contrary.

all about the commas ^^^
koppel was all "i am a lawyer so my claptrap means more than the supreme court's words. let me give you my version of the 2nd."
he was saying stuff that hasn't been decided yet as if it was the truth.
i think his argument that ARs and crap are 'in common use' amounts to-
"see, everybody bought them so the 2nd amendment allows it".
i also don't like-
I warned during that testimony then that it was based, not on the function of guns, or how fast they fired, or how powerful they were, but on superficial, cosmetic characteristics and accessories.
like Kelly said, he and the cop were prob. the only 2 people who'd actually been shot at, so...
i'm going with Johnson (i was hoping you were watching that part?)
OF COURSE pistol grips (SPRAY FIRING EASIER LIKE I SAID BEFORE) and heat guards and big mags and all the other crap (maybe a couple are cosmetic. why would someone PUT a 'cosmetic' feature on a gun??) are MORE DANGEROUS. ruggedized, he said. for ATTACKING PEOPLE he said.
NOT 'a 19 round pistol is perfectly normal. why? because gun makers make them.' like your buddy.
my version of common use is- the military has one level of weapons, cops less, civilians NO WAY more than cops. maybe the same, but that is really up to the cops to decide, then.
Kelly was GREAT, Chief Johnson was the MVP i'd say. i'm gonna send him a thank you email, actually.
the Chief and wanky wayne didn't shake hands!
i'm kinda busy, but i'll take a closer look @ your thread later...
