    Is English your second language?

    Just for a matter of record.

    The above is not understood. Pray tell what are you attempting to say?

    Such is not of relevance to the discussion at hand.

    Addressing one who is unwilling to abide by the proper order of the forums.

    And pray tell what exactly has been discussed by yourself? You have told federal prosecutors that they are wrong, and that a felon merely touching a firearm is not a federal crime. You have made a great deal of claims, but have done nothing to demonstrate how your claims are factually correct, or have any actual basis in reality.

    What you refer to is a violation of forum rules.

    Pigeon chess:

    "Pigeon chess" or "like playing chess with a pigeon" is a figure of speech originating from a comment made in March 2005 on Amazon by Scott D. Weitzenhoffer[1] regarding Eugenie Scott's book Evolution vs. Creationism: An introduction:
    “”Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

    Then I won't ask for confessions.

    I have used the one alias for twenty years, should it come up.

    I don't know what that means except it sounds like you are... expressing yourself.

    If someone wants to put up a thread in a POLITICAL ISSUES thread, with my apparent limited understanding of English I would be under the impression that if you wanted to talk about which tractor is best diesel or gas you would not put it under the heading of political issues.

    I don't know how to make this more plain.

    I started out big game hunting with a 150 grain bullet.

    Quickly decided this was not big enough.

    Finally settled on 200 grains. This seems to be perfect.

    The deer and elk in the Rocky Mountains are not small like in Texas or back East.

    We have big ones!

    We even have moose!

    It isn't.

    And anyone who says it is and claims to know of a case isn't telling the truth.

    But I know how sensitive people can be when they insist in this forum that
    people should be allowed to discuss it openly right up to the point when I
    point out they aren't telling the truth.

    Even when I post the law they refer to and point out it doesn't say what they
    insist not only that it says but they were (hahahahah) part of the team that
    put someone in jail for merely touching a firearm.

    Let's give us a few minutes for my stalker to show and I can show you what
    I mean?

    But for now, let's state that no it isn't against the law for any felon to merely
    touch a firearm according to the law posted.

    And I would be happy to see you prove your post with the case of someone
    who was convicted of felony touching of a firearm.

    You should hurry if you want to see my response.

    Actually, I have proved most of what I have posted.

    In truth, should that be a factor, and if you are not clear on it you can ask.

    We can start with the 88-92 percent of Americans approve of background
    checks if you like.

    But I will point out that if you insist that I am off topic in this thread talking
    about political issues that you have been provoking my responses to your
    posts.

    It seems I should qualify everything I post first.

    That doesn't address my post.

    Tell me I am wrong: this is a sub under POLITICAL ISSUES.

    That is what I see from my side of the computer.

    It does not say TECHNICAL ISSUES so I should be held harmless when I respond
    to something already posted on this thread that is political, and that includes your
    posts.

    I already proved that- a felon who picked up, ran four paces and threw a gun was a felon with three armed robbery counts. He was convicted of being a felon in possession under 18 USC 922 and sentenced to 15 years in prison due to his "criminal history" under the sentencing guidelines being so high.

    So you are wrong-again

    Then cease posting nonsense.

    And yet the above is not what is being discussed. Those present wish to see the implementation of a dedicated technical talk forum related to firearms, where political discussions such as what should be prohibited, and to what degree, are off topic nonsense. It is not a matter of rocket science that is being discussed presently. There is no difficulty in understanding that this particular thread of discussion relates to the creation of a new sub-forum.

    Making a claim is not the same thing as demonstrating proof of concept.

    Cite your sources.

    Then demonstrate such. Demonstrate how there is absolutely no law in the united states, that makes the touching of a firearm by a prohibited individual a felon. Prove that your concept of thought does indeed exist, or recant your statement. Show your affinity with the law of the united states.

    When a prohibited individual touches a firearm, are their fingerprints left behind on the surface of the firearm from when they held it? Legally that is regarded as possession of a firearm by a prohibited individual.

    40,000 people die of influenza every year in the world.

    We should try making influenza illegal. Anyone with influenza should be put into jail.

    That might stop the spread of influenza.

    Same thing as with gun control.

    Still waiting: your proof that no felons can so much as touch a firearm.

    Let's pretend that I haven't already refuted your previous statute that doesn't.

    They sell it when they go outside of their homes with it.

    It is the price of association.

    It is the cost of socialization and overcrowding.

    I take it you never took economics in college ?!

    You are making things up.

    Possession of a firearm isn't about touching the firearm.

    If a claim is made, it must be backed up with actual evidence when it is called out, regardless of political affiliation.

    And yet there are indeed laws saying that the possession of a firearm by a prohibited individual is a federal offense.

    Then pray tell, according to you, what is possession of a firearm about? What act must be committed in order to qualify as possession?

    A gun is found in the room of a felon sandwiched between the mattress
    and the box spring during a raid for whatever legal circumstance you
    choose, drug raid if you like.

    The cops through back the mattress and there it is, plain as day, a handgun
    of your choosing.

    The cops carefully put the handgun in a bag and rush it off to the lab and they
    find not only his DNA but a fingerprint on your choice, the slide mechanism
    because he cleans it after he uses it.

    Possession?

    You want to play through you should hurry, my shadow is here.
