"Yesterday we received word that KT Ordnance, manufacturer of incomplete (80%-finished) frames, was raided for the alleged "illegal manufacture of firearms." KT Ordnance has been a great asset to those who wish to purchase unfinished receivers with which to anonymously manufacture their own firearms -- a perfectly legal process, according to the BATFE website."
"You can see from photos of the AR-15 kit that the product cannot possibly be a functioning 'firearm' -- it's simply a chunk of metal! So how can this happen?" |

"Was the Second Amendment, then, a bulwark of liberty or a pious irrelevance? The framers of the Constitution doubted that any Bill of Rights was necessary, which was why they left it out. Under the Constitution power would derive from the people; how could the people oppress themselves? But Madison became midwife to the Bill of Rights, under pressure from his enemy Patrick Henry and prodding from his friend Jefferson. Jefferson, the amateur architect, saw a bill of rights as a useful structural prop. 'A brace the more will often keep up [a] building which would have fallen' without it, Jefferson wrote Madison. Some Founders believed passionately in the Second Amendment and the other nine. The rest put up with them." |

"...here’s a (very brief) recap of the Internet issue that has put Moveon.org, Gun Owners of America and the Indigo Girls on the same team. To sum it up, cable and phone companies – who control broadband, high-speed Internet lines – want to charge Web sites for delivering faster broadband service, something that’s particularly valuable to video-heavy sites like YouTube, for example. Those sites that don’t pay a premium would not receive faster service. The theory behind net neutrality is that all Web sites should be charged equally for use of high speed Internet lines from cable and phone companies." |

"Talk about your smear campaigns."
"If Colorado's 4th Congressional District race gets around to some old-fashioned mudslinging, it'll be a considerable upgrade."
"The campaign of U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave is howling mad that a supporter of her Democratic challenger, state Rep. Angela Paccione, D-Fort Collins, allegedly shoved dog feces through a mail slot of Musgrave's Greeley office on May 31."
"Kathleen Yvonne Ensz had been cited for 'criminal use of a noxious substance,' a Class 3 misdemeanor. She is due to appear in court Aug. 10."
-------
Submitter's Note: Musgrave is also a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. |
