Jeff Cooper On Inner-City Violence:
"…the consensus is that no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition."
Cooper's Corner, Guns and Ammo
Ted Nugent on South Africans:
"Apartheid isn't that cut and dry. All men are not created equal. The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. I mean that with no disrespect. I say that with great respect. I love them because I'm one of them. They are still people of the earth, but they are different. They still
put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands … These are different people. (Me: I dunno, Ted, sounds like a pretty typical Aerosmith tour to me) You give 'em toothpaste, they fucking eat it ... I hope they don't become civilized. They're way ahead of the game."
--Detroit Free Press Magazine
Ted Nugent on homosexuality:
A "despicable act" performed by "guys that have sex with each other's anal cavities."
--Hannity and Colmes
Marion Hammer on police-maintained databases of gun buyers:
"We don't want government to know who has the guns. If the government knows who has guns and where to find them, they can ban them and then confiscate them."
--Miami Herald
"And Commander XOgswsk from the planet Feelldbub will sneak into our homes and eat our brains and steal all the pretty neon twinkies that go boing boing boing all night long and oh god where's my medication?" Hammer did NOT go on to say.

Date: 2004-01-07 09:38 pm (UTC)It is, however, illegal to possess the parts to do so, unless one also possesses a Federal Class III license. Current BATF doctrine is that possession of the necessary parts to convert a rifle to full-automatic fire, whether or not you possess the matching rifle, is considered legally equivalent (as far as severity of charges and penalties) to possessing the finished full-automatic weapon.
I'm afraid I've never bought into the argument that if someone is willing to violate the law to do something that's already a felony, passing another law to make it even more illegal is going to stop them. Criminals are, by definition, people who violate laws. For example, possession of any firearms at all, except for a few 'grandfathered' rifles and shotguns, is illegal in Washington DC, yet for a "legally gun-free" city, it's surprising how many of the people murdered there each year die from gunshot wounds.
