I've got a back full of Republican knives. Every time I vote for one, I wonder just how stupid I am. They keep cheating me, and I keep anteing up.

I'd be interested in your take on my post on this subject.

Feel free to comment there or to post a reply here.

Thank you.

I agree with your analysis.

I think the mg issue is a red herring and is being thrown in as a fear tactic.

The fact is that the 86 ban is clearly unconstitutional (the 34' tax is suspect-- think poll tax, printing press tax, tax to exercise 1st amend rights, tax to exercise 4th and 5th amen right etc-- all unthinkable)Furhter no "properly tax and registered" mg has been used in a crime since 34 (except for one instence by a police officer)

Oops poor spelling-- that is what I get when doing comments in a hurry.

I asked Bob about what would appear to be circular logic on the article. And in a nutshell he is kind of correct. Miller requires 2 test, 1 for military use and 2 for commonality. The space allowed for the op-ed is 750 words, so all of the nuances can not be spelled out.

So in 750 words something has to go and he thought he picked the best explanation for the space given....
