Basically he claimed to be an LEO and states all his oppinions as fact.  As
for me, I never claimed to be an LEO.  When my credintials have aplied to the
subject, I have given them freely if I claim to be something.  Sorry, read
everything before you comment.  I have never said everything I have typed up
on this keyboard was probably the right thing to say, but then again, I claim

it for a second.  Germany's a much smaler country and mucgh weaker military

Whose gonna stop or kill him?  I wouldn't.  I would think he's a crazy, for

I'm surprised many others didn't.

Write your reply.

assistant: You play Chess Charles?  I don't expect an answer, but I ask the question
because you mention me being used as a pawn.  Obviously you do not see the
value of pawns.  I'll list some:
        1.  They are used to prtect pieces, especially the King, which if
lost so is the game.
        2.  They are used in many traps that sometimes are used to capture
major pieces.
        3.  If they make it to the other end of the oard, they can be
anything they want except of course a king and a pawn sometimes putting the
king in check in the process.
Providing all this, I take it as a VERY weak insult.  As you see, I play a
lot of chess.  Next time you try to cut someone down, know what you are
talking about and how it can come back on you.

Now the average citizen wouldn't have to play by those rules.
Not being a firearms expert, I'm not up on the pre/post ban stuff, but I know
there's a lot of 15 round magazines at gun shows that were produced pre ban.
They (dealers) are selling them with the BATF in the same building so I'd

you can still buy them.  Using them is another matter.
