have fun with your tin foil hats. 

i'll come back and eat crow if barry does pull anything, but im willing to bet i wont have to.

any ban or restriction is going to be coming from congress. 

Thats both interesting and strange. Guess it is one post that actually fits the topic.

I do my best to please.  At the very least, I'm glad you found it "interesting."

In all honesty, it wasn't meant to convince anyone of anything.  But to invoke thought of what may be (or what may not be).

Colt808, glad you and I agree on something. BY the way, I'm not THAT crazy.? Am I Seriously I am not an educated man or woman such as you and I will take any advice you give me, spit out all the bones and use what I need. But I can only base my opinion on what I see and read and hear. My lack of education outside of high school is no help Colt808 But, hey, I am still teachable at 56. FYI...NOT ONE single police officer I have spoken too agrees with any more restrictions on guns. Hawaii has gone far enough and the law enacted has done NO significant change in crime except to give punk a$$ cops who shouldnt be cops anyway , leverage to harass law abiding citizens and those young people who will stumble while maturing after turning 18. There are times when being young and making mistakes that a cop could do more good for his or her community by a stern lecture, a kind word, or simply verbally kicking them in their A$$. But NOOOOOOOO arrest and make them felons?? I just dont get the methos to the madness. The same rule or yard stick doesnt appear to apply to these few individual officers. Too bad. Anyway I'm off subject. Hey, Colt808, feel free to educate me on stuff you think where I am going too much left or right. I sure could use it. O.K. ? Thanks man.

You're fine...Honesty and common sense trumps education any day. The crazy part was in reference to some of your past posts. You know things that don't normally come from a Pastor? That aside, I do agree that some youth offenders should have alternatives that don't result in a lifetime label of "felon".  I believe a lot of judges in Hawaii consider past history and other factors before passing sentence. Yes, it's no different than what they do for adults, but in most cases equal application of law should apply. For the simple dumbassed kid stuff? An alternative punishment like youth boot camp, community/roadside clean up, and "scared straight" programs would do a lot more than a detention home or permanent record. Hell, anything that's REAL punishment for a kid would work.

You're wrong. Exectutive orders do not need the support or approval because it completely bypasses congress. Its one of the reasons people hate the concept and I'm not sure why that is being argued.

Colt really doesnt need someone coming to his defense.  Anyone who knows him would say he is pretty low key and is probably down playing his knowledge. But he did graduate from Stanford Law so he knows what he is talking about. Why he decided stay in the Army instead of practice law is the real mystery.

I was going to respond to xer, but since you've pretty much nailed it...

And I don't know what you mean by mystery. The certificates hanging in my office mean little and are about as important as awards for participation (to me). But to be part of 5 generations to serve? NOW that's something.
