Good article. There was a short piece on him on TV maybe a few months ago, but I forget on which program. I bet you can find something on youtube.

I guess Schumer and that crowd will just have to try---really try---to wrap their heads around the idea that back in the olden days when the right to bear arms was established, people could and did build their own weapons routinely. That's a big part of of what makes it one of history's greatest concepts.

[COLOR="#006400"]I had a sales flyer from Staples this past weekend, they are now selling the 3d printers for $1300.00 and will handle up to 5.5"x5.5"

That show Swampy is referencing was on Dateline or 60 minutes about a month ago, was very interesting. [/COLOR]

Yep, that was probably it...They showed him cranking out AR magazines...Very presentable "kid"...Gotta be sharp as a tack.

5.) DParker - 05/06/2013

He was on CNBC's "America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15" last week (which started off fairly well, but then quickly descended into stupidity) as well.

[COLOR="#006400"]I started watching that show DP but knew it would turn ugly, it did, I turned it off. YAWWNNNNN to the liberal media who does their absolute best to brain wash those whom aren't yet.....[/COLOR]

For me the turning point was when they had a trauma room doctor (or was she a nurse? I don't recall) talking about one of the wounds that she saw from the Aurora theater shooting. Right up front she said that she had no way of knowing which of his weapons was used to inflict the wound, but then claimed that it must have been the AR-15 because you can't do that kind of damage with a shotgun. Clearly she has no clue what nine 0-0 buckshot pellets can do at close range.

[COLOR="#006400"]BINGO, that was THE turning point[/COLOR]

“This is about enabling individuals to create their own sovereign space…The government will increasingly be on the sidelines, saying ‘hey, wait,’” says Wilson. “It’s about creating the new order in the crumbling shell of the old order.”

-Cody Wilson-

"New order" huh?! Sounds familiar.

Except that the infamous historical uses of that term referred to political "orders" that were the polar opposite of what Wilson is talking about. He's misguided (humans are social critters to the core, a trait which will always require the existence of [I]some[/I] degree of government), but I think his choice of words here was simply a poor one.

Two words for Mr. Wilson "Posse Comitatus"

I for one would be much obliged, Mr. Peck, if you would be so kind as to expand on your reference to that act in this context.

14.) Bob Peck - 05/07/2013

Posse Comitatus the organization and disambiguation *not* the law passed in 1878

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, that's much different than the congressional act of the same name...and it sounds to me like something a bit more radical than even what the young Mr. Wilson seems to have in mind (though all I know of his leanings is what he's aid in the couple of interviews I've seen, which may well be a soft-soaping of his true thoughts on the matter.)

16.) DParker - 05/07/2013

OK, the self-policing grammar Nazi in me compells me to point out that "much different than" in the above should have been "very different from". Shame on me.

18.) DParker - 05/07/2013

If I could turn correcting my own mistakes into a day job with financial compensation I'd be a rich man.

19.) Swamp Fox - 05/07/2013

You should have thought of that earlier...Your wife says she's been doing it for free since she met you...

20.) DParker - 05/07/2013

My wife says a lot of things.

21.) Swamp Fox - 05/07/2013

Plus she might think it's been for free, but we both know you've paid the price.

Am I right, or what?

:wink
