No, Einstein. He's not evil because he's a gun owner. He's "an evil piece of crap" because he's a convicted liar, thief, and smuggler and seller of illegal NFA weapons. These aren't allegations. They're not rumor or innuendo. No one said he's evil because he owns guns. (Except, of course, you.) He knowingly and willingly broke the law. That makes him a shitbag in my book. I guess it makes him a role-model in yours.
Double-check your prescriptions, take your meds, and everything will be calm again soon. Deep breaths.

Did I ever say that he was a role model?
All I am asking is that you check yourself at the door before you start playing into media hype that makes gun owners look bad. Granted, my method of this was poor because it's fun kicking media drones like you, but that's all I ever slapped you about.
Another outyourself thread.

Gun owners in anti' states need to take a harder look at how changes in social attitudes about "groups" that the "mainstream" doesn't like.
It isn't a matter of changing yourself to make them more comfortable. It is a matter of forcing them to realize that their intolerance and ignorance is their problem, not yours and you won't tolerate them treating you badly or as anything less than an equal before the law.
It is a matter of making them, rightfully, uncomfortable for generalizing and stereotyping to justify their abuse of your rights. Apologizing and "getting in line" with their way of thinking and acceptable behavior doesn't work. You give an inch, they take a mile.

I'm glad someone is a bit more calm and fluent with words than I am. I'll shut up so you can pull anyone like ScottS back to the "correct" side.

Thanks. That would have been my guess since a Dishonorable Discharge makes one ineligible for a number of jobs.
I was going to troll and be like "Oh, go vote for Romney, Scott." and then I saw his avatar and was like "oh, nevermind."
Anyway, the Marine here wasnt bothering me, or anyone else. He broke a law that is against "Shall not be infringed," ergo, I'm not in support of the law. What he did in the Corps to get thrown out is another story, and has nothing to do with breaking stupid NFA laws that shouldnt be around in the 1st place.

“The most important thing is the deterrent effect,” Merrill said. “These are very dangerous weapons. No matter why or how you possess them, having them puts the community at risk.”
Yikes. So its OK that he can use a rifle to defend our freedom but if he has one in the states, the same community he risked his life for is at risk. Makes sense.

I read this whole thread, and didn't get that impression at all. I along with everybody in this thread thinks that these laws should not exist, but that does not make any justification for knowingly breaking them. It goes back to that now famous quote on here: PSGWSP. I happen to own a car capable of going nearly 200mph, or covering a quarter mile in 10 seconds from a dead stop, but if I were to do that 200mph run on the MA pike and nobody got hurt would it still be a crime if I was caught? Of course it would be. Is it stupid that it is illegal from my perspective? You bet! See what I'm getting at? We are all gun owners/lovers here so of course any law that restricts what we want to do is wrong/stupid from our perspective but that doesn't mean we are free to disregard them unless we are willing to live with the consequences of doing so. This guy regardless of the DD, or anything else he did in the past that has no relevance to this crime still made the choice to do this crime, knowing full well what the risk was, so now he has to do the time whether "we" feel that particular law is just, or not.
Before anyone calls out my hypothetical high speed example for potentially endangering other drivers, let's assume that it is in the middle of the night with no other cars in sight for the purposes of this discussion.
There comes a point where you realize theres too many stupid people out there who want to restrict your rights and you cant get these unconstitutional laws changed. You then have to make a decision whether you will continue to follow those laws, this man decided he would take his chances, it didnt work out so great for him. Im sure there are hundreds or even thousands of people who ignored this same law and have yet to be caught. Now if only the NRA or ACLU would have come to this guys defense and the case were a few years earlier, we might have had a supreme court willing to fix this travesty they call a law.

The NFA is one of the biggest piece of shit Federal laws in existence. The feds were rolling in the money when it first instated and they are still doing so today, if you even feel like trying to get one. I can't wait to get mine and will happily pay the $200, but this garbage needs to get repealed.
Agreed. The law is the law, and when you break the law, you get in trouble. And what kind of retard leaves shit like that with his EX-WIFE?!!! He deserved to get bagged!
Here is why I look at this guy had to be a moron! Honeslty if you obviusly know what you have is illegal (weather it should or shouldn't be isn't the question it is). Be carefull with it....Don't just leave the stuff with your exwife... inner city thugs are smarter then that with there drugs...(also questionable weather they should be illegal). But they know to hide the stuff..... He is a moron.
Some day, someone needs to fight this. It is about having the same arms as the military.

The lesson here was not to smuggle awesome firearms, but to shun bitches.
This is the same guy who supported .gov in forbidding a guy from running a business out of a workshop on his own property...This is no surprise. Scott is in the "safe and warmy" crowd...
