Jay,
I could not have said it better myself!
Sig, Hardrede,
A friend of mine has been following this long before I. He gave me the understanding that the wording of the changes allows a local municipality/govt to override a state ban here. This is third hand to me so if anyone can shed a little light on this aspect please do. If this is the case, backing state efforts may be an effort in futility. Perhaps this would limit things but to what extent. I wonder how this could be applied...say to our hobby...would a local govt be able to allow an individual to have a registered full auto even if the state bans it? I could think of a bunch of ways to apply that. Perhaps one of the more knowledgeable members here can clear this up a bit better than I.
Another thing my friend mentioned is that the outed citizen is supposed to get fair market value (which I have heard is BS...one of my friends got 50+ acres taken on overlook mountain in Woodstock NY and got $55K for an extremely valuable property...to Make a Park!) My friend said that if a company has the zoning changed to commercial on the property they want to steal then the market value will be much less...further screwing the american citizen.
I do not claim to know the best way to figt this type of thing but it sure feels good to see an enemy of the constitution be "forced to eat his own feces". I think it is a perfect, non violent retaliation that sends a clear message. I could only imagine what things would be like if we all jumped on this bandwagon and applied it in a global context. I have always wanted to turn Hillary's house into a rod and gun club!
What should we do here...take a collection and send a donation from all of us on the board? Just send individual donations? Do nothing? I think we need to get behind this and back him up...as long as he is not going to buy beer with the money and a new car.
Oh the possibilities!
