[QUOTE=fabsroman;332651]Skeet,



Well lets go back a bit..the legislators are tryiung to pass a law to make it ok for a felon to vote after release from prison or whatever ..If he can exercise the voting right why not the right to own a firearm? He has paid his debt to society ..right?? Stupid laws are just that stupid.


If you believe that bull about the nics check etc..then you aren't as smart as I thought you were. The reason for the nics check is control. Pure and simple. The 1968 gun control act had a purpose to begin with..Control of gun sales and who they were sold to. It was already illegal for a felon to own a firearm. But there had been 2 Kennedy's(POLITICIANS... you get it?) killed by lunatics so they had to have a way to control sales. Why should we have to have a nics check for private to private sales?? To be really honest I don't have too much of a problem with these stupid checks except for the underlying reason for them. A little control is better than none in politicians eyes...then they can extend it just a bit with a little regulation or law here and there and before you know it..not just regulation but registration. Have you ever read the 1968 GCA. In some areas it is a word for word copy of the 1938 gun control act passed by Nazi Germany. We all know how that turned out don't we? You being an attorney seem to trust your fellow attorneys in the State and Federal Legislatures. I on the other hand DO NOT. I feel we should have term limits of a max of 8 yrs..no PACs and NO lobbyists. Boy that would put a bunch of attorneys, ex congressmen and Senators out of work. Fabs the reason for these gun powder and ammo laws being in place is because the elected people in place want to stay there and they want to be able to control us. No I'm not a conspiracy theorist. When was the last time Big government did something to really help the American TAX PAYING citizen. And as far as paying for free speech that answer about the internet is not what I meant and you know it. Twisting words to suit your ideas doesn't change what I meant. If they can charge you to exercise one Right..the government can charge for any other right. Sorry my friend..but ridiculous regulation and stupid laws don't really help the people of this country..it just hinders freedoms in a very basic way. Trust the gummit..They know what is BEST for you.

You can have 5 lbs of Smokeless powder...and 5 lbs of black powder in Md.. Why is it possible to buy an 8 lb container in Md? I wasn't asking if you had a license to have powder. I was talking of the other license..your reloading license. As far as the Explosives law...I guess the bull with Homeland security has changed things but that law pertained to Explosives in Md. Smokeless powder was not considered an explosive. It was considered a flammable solid(and not as dangerous as gasoline) and is still treated that way in interstate commerce by DOT regulation. That law meant Black Powder(an explosive although a low yield one) when it was passed oh so many years ago.. If you went to buy BP you had to sign for it..just as you had to sign for dynamite previously. That is when I quit selling BP. Oh BTW how much smokeless powder can you tranport in a private vehicle and how much powder can you have in a private residence?

As far as paying the OBGYN for a delivery when he wasn't there...You are the attorney. Refuse to pay and take it to the ins co. Heck Fabs Getting big government to run health care is a real head up the arse approach. You yourself have said in the past that Social Security is broke..Why is that?? Big giovernment keeps using the money for other head in the sand social programs. and more stupid laws. More laws and more regulation leads inevitably to more and more taxes and less and less people paying. We as a nation need legislators who care more for the nation and it's people rather than themselves and the power they have
