A neighborhood watch in FuttBuckie, Texas is incomplete without at least one thermonuclear weapon in addition to Stinger missiles and automatic weapons


Isn't the second amendment intended as an individual right?

The neighborhood watch is a collectivist organization that holds within it the seeds of future tyranny! :)

Haven't you seen Hot Fuzz!?

To the people who keep going off saying it's fine for an American (any American) to own surface to air missiles, I repeat:

What if he had of been selling nukes to a terrorist organization in America?

Great! :D

Few militia members would know what to do with one, and most would end up hurting themselves, though.

The second amendment reads

Quote:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed


Arresting someone for selling surface-to-air missiles would constitute an infringement.


That's what you're going to hang your hat on? Is the intellectual cupboard that bare?

You have failed to address the misleading nature of your thread title, the role of Congress and the judicial branch in this trial, and the question of extraterritoriality and instead determined that the only argument that you cave the competence to make is that surface to air missiles deserve second amendment protection.

What a waste of bandwidth.

If we're going to imprison a Russian, captured in a sting operation in Thailand, for selling weapons in Colombia, then of course he deserves Second Amendment protection.

While I have no doubt that Viktor Bout is not an ethical person via his actions, he doesn't deserve to be arrested by the USA. I agree that this is an attack on the second amendment. But unfortunately the USA has found ways to bypass the amendment. Let the countries involved deal with it. Let's not forget the hypocrisy of the USA when judging this man.

Liberals and professed elitists want nothing more than a one-world-government-police-state.

Yeah, but if he's going to masquerade he's going to need to do better than that.

Incompentent satire simply serves to reinforce those one seeks to satirize.

It's kind of hard to tell, but I'll hazard a guess that it's an FAL?

ETA: An FAL which apparently has a battered/crooked front sight.

Its an FAL or one of the many variants of it.
