    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

      Oh yeah, youre right... I dont watch a lot of tv....

      ha ha...

      Question still stands, can a felonius actor handle a firearm if it had been modded to fire blanks? I dont think so, but I am trying to settle this with a freind. He should be chiming in any minute now, as I am sure I have misrepresented his argument.

        I'll be honest. I figured with the barrels blocked that it would no longer be considered a "Firearm" But after reviewing the full 18 USC 921. I'm not quite sure what to think considering it adds frame in there. But in the USC in some areas it refers to a firearm by the ABCD definitions. Perhaps its in there? If so I can't find it. But im tired as hell also.

        (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon;
        (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or

            Thanks, there are a bunch on this topic. I linked some old ones in the first post, although they are disguised as facebook links...

            Its been one of those nights... I spent an hour and a half all like, **** mark walhberg etc.. only to find out that I had been watching matt damon...

            I am actually proud I couldnt tell them a part, I think it speaks to my character...

            I quote from myself, "I am sure he isnt the same racist crack smoking lunatic he was, but for someone to commit violent felonies then make a bunch of money acting in violent movies then wish that "they" could take all guns away, sounds not only like incredible hubris, but kinda like a arsonist turned gunpowder salesman saying he wishes "they" could take away all fire extingushers..."
