When are they not?
Via Joe, comes a petition calling on the White House to correct its incorrect representation of the second amendment.
Seen on the internet: “I couldn’t understand the debate. It was all in Spanish and communism.”
Several years ago, Nick Bronsozian was charged with possession of an unregistered machinegun under a tax law statute. The provision in question, 26 U.S.C. 5861(d), says that in order to have a machinegun registered, a tax must be paid on it. Simple enough, right? Bronsozian didnt pay his tax. Case closed. Thats what the government argued anyway, but the situation is more complicated than that.
A subsequently enacted law, 18 U.S.C. 922(o), prevents the government from registering and accepting tax payments on new machineguns. So Bronsozian was charged and convicted of a felony for not paying a tax that the government would not allow him to pay. If that strikes you as odd, its probably because youve read the Constitution.
Read the whole thing.
Chris Cox, who is an awesome guy, has resigned from NRA ILA.
All the cool kids have left the NRA and Wayne remains.
Mentioned it earlier but here’s a detailed analysis and rebuttal to this stupid legislation, that would make me a felon.
Some idiot is running on the platform that he is coming for your AR-15s. When you get to Knoxville, shoot me a note. Happy to meet you.
Headline: Gorsuch joins liberal justices in ruling against federal criminal statute
Oh no! Those darn liberals. What did they rule actually? They defended the 5th and 6th amendments.
Well, OK:
A 32-year-old woman was arrested on June 15 when she gathered her husbands guns to turn them over to the Lakeland Police Department.
According to Courtney Irbys arrest affidavit, she told police her husband had been taken to jail for trying to run over her with a car. Irby said she went to Joseph Irbys apartment on Village Center Drive in Lakeland and searched for the guns she knew he had.
When she told a Lakeland police officer she had the guns with her to turn them in, he replied, So are you telling me that you committed an armed burglary? and Irby answered, Yes, I am, but he wasnt going to turn them in, so I am doing it, according to reports.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
