Humor, by definition, has to be funny. If it was your intent to be funny, your hyperbole failed. If it was suppose to be just an exaggeration, and not funny, why would I need to have a sense of humor about it? Why would I voluntarily give up my 4th Amendment right while exercising my 2nd? Of course I didn't get searched. I didn't even get stopped. I fail to see your point of even bringing this up. Your point about not traveling through NYC with firearms is justified. Your exaggerations and attempt at explaining why was and is ridiculous.

Foreign policies being dangerous and foolish like starting 2 wars and pushing for a 3rd in Iran dangerous? Or dangerous some other way. But I digress. They are dangerous because they don't coincide with the current plan. So yes, they are dangerous. But what is more dangerous? How about the current plan to disarm the population so a tyrannical government has an easier job taking away our liberties and keeping the alignment of power with the bankers and whatever other large corporations they are working with. You don't have to look any further then what our founding fathers had to say. It is almost ironic how well the predicted things could be. Unfortunately their attempts at preventing what is happening (you know, the thing called the Constitution) is failing. In time of actual war, great discretionary powers are constantly given to the Executive Magistrate. Constant apprehension of War, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. - James Madison, 1787 Constitutional Convention If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. - James Madison A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference. - Thomas Jefferson All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. - Thomas Jefferson They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action. - George Washington

Based on the information in the article, it would appear to be justified. We will see if the information is correct. I would be interested in hearing what students/teachers who were there have to say. Because we all know police reports never have mistakes.

Cool. That isn't what I said nor my point...at all.

Ron Paul is leaps and bounds better than the others...

Correct, but I think the point was more how something as simple as being ignorant of a regional law that is different from where you are from can lead to a potentially felony for doing nothing actually harmful because of asinine laws. But I could be wrong.

I'm not advocating fear but ignoring reality based on your perception of legal/illegal is almost ignorant. What you seem to be missing is that there are times that it doesn't matter how right you are, how clear the law being on your side is, or how many people know you are in the right, if are in a system that is flawed to begin with. I certainly am not saying anyone needs to be scared and paranoid, and not do legal things because of it, but if you think you are immune to the system, you may need to take a deeper look. In the end it is your choice and you are free to do as you please. In fact, many people are perfectly content with not knowing, and I can't blame them. Because after all, if you don't know, and it isn't effecting you, why care? Fair point.

Well that isn't a primary factor, but it doesn't hurt! When I was in Switzerland the other month, I strongly remember two things. The chocolate and the women, mmmmm.....

Terrible idea. They would see the bullets in the clips so those are the ones, and then wonder what those strange black blocks things on the right you call 'magazines?' are.

I've been strongly considering moving to Scandinavia or Switzerland in a few years but it has nothing to do with gun laws.

The biggest problem with jury nullification is...that most juries don't know about it, and judges and prosecutors do everything they can to keep it from juries. See the man who was arrested for jury tampering for telling juries about jury nullification... yet a judge can refuse juries access to the specific statues one is accused of violating and that isn't...

I actually think you have this backwards. I think that a lot of them WOULD enforce it, out of fear. I would like to think that too, but it is a rock and hard place type debate. It is hard to know what one would do our of coercion or through threat of punitive action against them. I am basing this off of personal experience.

Well though that is a problem, that isn't thee problem. When the government uses police as revenue generators, that is when people get cited little things. That has nothing to do with personal responsibility.

People get arrested all the time for doing legal things. Not concerned about the police? Who else is going to confront someone on their property with a gun besides the police?

Question. If you have a tube fed .22lr like a Marlin 60, that was for example, not stamped .22lr only, and held no more than 15 .22lr, but did hold more than 15 shorts, however it would NOT cycle any .22 short, so required manual operation, would it be legal? The statue states "more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm". I have my assumptions, just wondering other's thoughts.

It is important to understand the difference between the law, and how things are enforced. In the US today it often doesn't matter what the law is, if you are doing something illegal or not, or what you think you can do. What matters is what the police, state prosecutors, and DA think they can get away with. So really, what it boils down to, is what you think YOU can get away with. It often helps to follow the law, but that is certainly far from the only factor. So if you are a good boy and listen to everything the man says............

Like the one Philly cop who in the past year has shot 2 people in their own homes after he broke into them? If that isn't the type of person he is talking about then I have no idea what type is.

Yep, Murphy's law has a funny way about doing business! But your point is illustrated perfectly. The law is ridiculous. It is so ridiculously sad that for your example above, you could become a criminal and jailed for doing nothing wrong or unlawful, but it just so happens to be illegal. It almost makes me sick.

The people are nothing more than pawns in the Corporation of America, good for 2 things. Revenue generation and puppets. Welcome to the new world.

d) Move

Not only is that an exaggeration, but it is simply a ridiculous statement. 1. The entire state of NJ is well within 500 miles of NYC. In fact, the entire state is less than 175 miles from NYC. 2. You can legally transport through NYC in accordance with FOPA. I've done so many times. 3. Look at a map and tell me if it looks like NYC is in between Michigan and anywhere in New Jersey.

Though I have no idea, I know they started about a month late so I am thinking probably not early January...

It doesn't matter who wins really. Well, there is one exception, but he will never get a nomination. If he does, he would never win. If he did, he would quickly be assassinated/impeached. So really, it doesn't matter.

Doing something that puts yourself in a potentially dangerous situation, well whatever, you make your own decisions. Doing something that puts others in danger, including your own children, not cool. At all.

Yes, a little bit it does.
