Lawsuit in PA

Sebastian hasn't read the filing, so it's hard to take him seriously. "I have not seen the case." That said, this should go to the state court, not the federal. The sheriff's conduct is clearly official misconduct (defined under PA statute as "He commits an act relating to his office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized"). Prior case law in PA (Commonwealth v. Hawkins) holds that a LEO can't even stop an individual for open carry in the absence of threatening or other illegal behavior. The usual suspects suggest "it's not the right case." At the state level this is pure BS.

You should have stopped there!

Actually, you shouldn't take too much seriously until I can track down the actual case. But based on what little information I have, it doesn't seem very advisable at this point.

Well then, here y'all go. Ignorance is no excuse!

I hope it's not bad for me to post this off topic, but I thought Obama's comment in his press conference yesterday was kind of interesting. He said:

"lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I've said that throughout the campaign. I haven't indicated anything different during the transition. And I think that people can take me at my word."[emphasis added]

Is that a little doubt slipping through about whether people can take him at his word? Maybe he thinks he wont be able to get any gun restrictions through Congress, but there's a possibility he might get lucky and then he might decide to break his word.

Of course you obviously can't take him at his word anyway for at least two reasons. He has openly and consistently supported the assault weapon ban. Since the assault weapon ban doesn't actually ban any assault weapons, it's very name is a lie. Also, I'm a law abiding gun owner and I fear I won't be able to buy the kind of semi-auto rifle I'd like to. So much for taking him at his word.

I think we need an alternative name for the assault weapon ban. The best I've come up with is the "gun appearance ban". We need to emphasize to voters that the assault weapon ban is an attempt to fool them.

Lawful ammunition purchasers on the other hand, have plenty to fear. Zero parses words like Xlinton.

"I think we need an alternative name for the assault weapon ban. The best I've come up with is the "gun appearance ban". We need to emphasize to voters that the assault weapon ban is an attempt to fool them."

Irony...the fact that the first "black" president will ban guns based on nothing more than appearance if given the chance.

As for the case, interesting. If it should have been filed in state courts wouldn't the feds give it the boot and tell them where to go? I think they should have put more emphasis on the state constitution's guarantee on arms. And they should have at LEAST got the pre-existing right guaranteed by the constitution thing right, because it's NOT granted by it.

Anybody know anything about her lawyer?
