[No, it's not a cop-bashing thread, but if you're not supposed to be there, you shouldn't be there. Cops have been known to be robbers (or burglars), after all. And I don't need any nanny waking me up to scold me...
Let's see:
No right to carry ANY object for the purpose of self defense.
No more right to trial by jury except for the most serious crimes.
No more double jeopardy -- now the govt can try you as many times as it wants. (Shouldn't that guarantee a 100% conviction rate?)
No more right to silence...
Don't know whether this has been mentioned but during the Clinton Admin, HUD tried to prohibit anyone living in public housing from owning a firearm. Of course, just as DC's gun ban does, this merely disarmed all the chickens in the henhouse, allowing the foxes to prey with impunity.
The bottom line is, they want everything "on paper."
They're making a list and they're checking it twice, boys and girls, and we all know what happens when Santa turns into Satan.
Registration leads to confiscation.
In 1999, Heston gave a speech at Harvard Law School. Among his other remarks were these, which I highly suspect were what inspired bloodedsky's cluelesss comments:
Right now at more than one major university, Second Amendment scholars and researchers are being told to shut up about their...
Yep. And the simple reason is that it's logically impossible to prove a negative.
For example, say I fished for 2 weeks straight and caught nothing. Does that prove there are no fish in the lake? No. Nor would 100 straight days of fishing and catching nothing.
As Donald Rumsfeld once said...
Back in 1980 or thereabouts I was stopped by police in NJ and the cop saw a plastic bag containing something lying on the floor of the car. He got me and my buddy to get out of the car, and he retrieved the bag expecting (i suppose) to find drugs, but all he found were some .270 target reloads I...
Although it's a part of th Declaration of Independence and not the Constitution, it is nonetheless one of the "founding documents," so to speak, and as such shows the intent, if not the exact letter, of the law. So although it may not carry the weight and authority of the Constitution, it does...
Although I can sympathize with the cop's frustration over having to deal with adolescent wiseacres, I would also wager that Officer Rivera's over-the-top aggression was a direct result of all the beatings he endured in grade school because of his Baby Huey body and his despicable Daffy Duck lisp.

Gist: The solicitor general's brief is not as bad is it might have been.
Some excerpts:

Sorry to be a stickler about niggling details, but...what exactly does the petition say???
I mean, I see where I'm supposed to put my name and address, but it would be a nice little "touch" to know just what I'm signing my name to.
Or is this one of those deals where you get the signatures...
