1- show me where a device that can function exactly as defined in a law, losses that designation when it is utilized a different way.
examples;
I am found in possession of a magazine that has 10 rds in it. The magazine is found to hold more if loaded with more. Just because I only load 10, does that stop a designation of high capacity? My LEO friend says, No its not a hi-cap. All the people on a gun website say its not a hi-cap. The courts have never convicted a person who went on information that if you only load 10rds, then its not a hi-cap. Are they all correct? We both know what the real answer is.
I am found in the woods with an AR15 upper and an AR15 lower. They are not together, they are in separate bags. The LEO we responding to a shots fired call. Is the fact the firearm is not together a valid reason I can't be arrested? Everyone here says two halves dont make a firearm. Are they correct? Do I have a firearm on me? If I got 100 LEO to agree that I was not carrying a firearm, would that mean anything in this situation?
It doesnt matter how you have been reading this law nor how the law has been presented to the CA ADAs. If an ADA really cared enough there is nothing to stop them from applying the sniperscope designation to a device which can use an IR source, but none was found at the time of arrest. A demonstration in court would show the device has the capability to fulfil the law and the law doesnt strictly state the IR must be projected by the device.
In plain English, it doesnt say what you think it says, and a good ADA would keep you from saying what you think it says while testifying. Your improper reading of a law doesnt allow that same improper reading to be used as a defense. Again --- I was told if I only load 10rds, its not a hi-cap magazine and I have a cop friend and a website, lets call it calnutkguns who will testify to that. I only own 10rds, how can I be charged with a crime if I dont have more then 10rds on me?
2- Does my lack of english skills provide me or you with a valid reason to ignore when people can point out we are wrong?
You are saying because I was not born an English speaker, that when a friend who is an expert in the English language explains something, that their expert knowledge is nullified when other non-english language experts, who were born english speakers disagree with her.
I speak no english.
My Translator does speak English. She has a masters degree in the language. She was born an English speaker. She says ______ is the correct reading of a sentence.
Friends of mine say she is wrong because they dont like what she says, and no one has ever agreed with that before. They have no evidence she is wrong, only that they dont like what she says.
Who should I believe has the proper understanding of the sentence? The expert on English or the expert who doesnt like what it says?
To get right down to it. Which is evidence in a court of law? Your mis-reading and mis-application of the law for 30+ years, or the actual reading and actual application of the sentence.
