    Is this NRA wit? I reckon it will be a complete hoplophile takeover of the Edinburgh Festival.

    Please don't watch Trainspotting beforehand. We're much more cuddly.

    Nope, N.R.A. might frown on guys getting too freindly after drinks after the football game is over.

    Yes, the chamber end of AR barrels aren't threaded.

    Try as little as five years ago.

    This year's Coppa Italia marked the first time the tournament has ended with a Rome derby and thus the first time both participants played the final in their home stadium (since the Stadio Olimpico is always the host site). Given the fact that was not just a match between the fiercest of intracity rivals, but one with a trophy on the line, local authorities anticipated an especially combustable atmosphere. Judging by the frightening array of crude weapons confiscated by police before the match, it seems the historic final between Roma and Lazio could've been ruined before it even began.

    Ponte della Musica." data-reactid="21">Of course, any Rome derby is bound to include a variety of violence of weaponry. This time, however, police confiscated garden tools, kitchen knives and hatchets all taped to sticks for maximum stabbing reach from ultras under the Ponte della Musica.

    I used to build them, before the AR became very popular with your average type armed bear.

    Historically the US has had pitiful rates (10% or so). I believe its only 40% now. Probably lower amongst hoplophiles, except for those popping off rounds for medals.

    On the internet, matters such as nationality and country of origin remain vague at best.

    So you threw in the Italians as a rough guess? I hope you decide how to use guns with more logic.

    Please. Many Blacks rarely travel out of their city of residence and Hispanics don't use passports anyway.

    Indeed there is such a statute in the united states. However prosecutors often do not utilize it, even when evidence of the trafficking is well documented and easily proven.

    well that means you agree with me that if you make a machine gun in NYS and you use it in NYS, the federal government has no legitimate power to have any say over that.

    the federal govt. should have and does have the authority to regulate things that don't involve inter-state commerce.

    we are one nation, you know.
