You're arguing points I didn't think I was trying to make, and the thread is now snipped into a form unrecognizable from the original. Before this goes any further in the wrong direction, EOT for me. -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

Hmmm...can most PSU profs point out where I used the word "they" in the
above sentence? "....when, in fact, they CAN, as long as they accept the consequences...." A) I don't give a damn about what "a great many people" think because quantity over quality is rarely a good choice, B) No, it wouldn't be any clearer because it couldn't be any clearer, at least to those who have read a reasonable amount of the contemporary material and can understand the general concept of legislative intent, and C - the "well-regulated militia" portion is important, especially when taken into contemporary context. That's your opinion, to which you're entitled, but which is not shared universally. vince |

Anyone who is not a convicted felon or drug addict that chooses to buy a machine gun can do so after filling out the mountain of paperwork and waiting for the investigations to be done and pays the transfer fee can own their own machine gun. Most just choose not to bother with the hassle. Big Dale |

not is the paragraph to which you originally referred as containing the allegedly confusing "they." Well, here's the complete paragraph to which I referred, from your earlier post: "Can" it? Sure. Just like Congress _can_ pass any law (however crazy and/or un-Constitutional it might ultimately be declared) it might wish or when folks say "You _can't_ do that!," when, in fact, they CAN, as long as they accept the consequences...including such consequences as having the order/law nullified by being declared un-Constitutional. vince |
