He's not in jail because the cops haven't caught him in the act. He could just be the biggest liar on the planet and have all those guns in his basement.

People have been convicted of murder with no corpse. This guy presented some pretty good evidence against himself, a bit of follow-up should uncover enough factual evidence to get a conviction on some charges.

There was almost no difference between the military guns and civilian guns during the Revolutionary War; however, there is a significant difference between military and civilian weapons of today. Things change over 200+ years and I would hate to think that almost every Tom, Dick & Harry could have a M249 chain gun in their basement if they have the money.

My point is that the second ammendment was intended to put the masses on equal ground. Yes things have changed, and in a lot more areas than firearms and weaponry. Let's not be too quick to start giving up what we still have. The roots lie in the likes of 50 caliber single shot rifles. Muzzle loaders rather than bolt action, significantly less power than modern rifles, but still the heritage has carried through to the level of todays civilian arms. And how many of todays civilian arms are direct descendants of military arms?
Now that there has been discussion about drinking habits, political party affiliations and reasons, the difficulty of determining who were the best and worst presidents, the fact that Bill Clinton happened to take office as the economy started booming, $425.00 per troy ounce is an all time high for gold even though it was over $610.00 per troy ounce in 1980, the rule of 77, better investments and a whole slew of other random thoughts, would anyone be interested in starting a thread discussing the "Open letter from Ronnie Barrett" that was brought to our attention by TreeDoc?
