    Mel is a genius! ;)

     

    I think the pinnacle of his work is "The Producers."  He masterfully took one of the most taboo subjects for humor and turned it into an outrageously funny musical comedy.  As attributed to him, "Who else but a Jew could get away with writing "Springtime For Hitler?"

     

    ADDED:

    Both Young Frankenstein and The Producers he managed to make into comedic masterpieces without gross vulgarity.  Risqué, yes, but not blatantly vulgar.

    I do see that potential also. Which is an interesting limit as the restriction does not apply to felons, they can still have flintlocks. Such an outcome would have law-abiding citizens as restricted as felons.

     

    An interesting thing about that, at least here in in California, is that they can BUY them,  but if stopped and found in possession of one California treats it as any other firearm.

    First I note this is not a 2A ruling, it is another APA ruling.

     

    I haven't waded through the entire thing.  But it seems that it was upheld because of "new technologies."  I  see that as very dangerous as it could potentially mean that through administrative word games an anti-civil rights BATFE and sympathetic Court could roll us back to the antis dream of "The Second Amendment only applies to flintlock muskets."

    I had three kids in the same school. And I told them. If you get in a fight, win. If that means you got to pick up a stick and hit him upside the head, pick up a stick. And you two - if you see that your brother or sister is losing, you best jump in on his side. Cuz if I find out that one of y'all got beat up and the others just stood there and watched it, I'm going to tear you a new one.

     

    Y'all are family. And it's y'all against everybody else.

     

     

    I completely understand and agree with - "your son was in a fight" did you win?

     

    I would rather that my kids did not get into a fight. But if they do get into a fight, they are supposed to win. By any means necessary.

     

    My stepdaughter was picked on a lot in school by a little clique of thugs. We kept complaining to the admin.  Came to a head when one of the clique "accidentally ' kicked her in the head.  I spent two weeks giving her a  little training,  then went and talked to one of the vice principals. 

     

    Told him that we were tired of her being hit, shoved, tripped, pulled down by her backpack,  etc.  And now she had been kicked in the head.  And the school administration telling us that there was nothing they could  do because it was her word against that little pack.  So since the school had admitted over and over that they couldn't fulfill their obligation as guardian to keep students safe on campus,  I  had given her instructions to take one, and only one hit, then to kick the guy in the knee and when he went down to then kuck him in the crotch and the face.  And if the school tried to punish her for defending herself I would get CPS, the Sheriff, and the local police involved to investigate every member of the school administration as individuals,  the corporate entity of the administration as a whole,  the dustrict, and the supervisor for child abuse and child endangerment. 

     

    It was rather odd that after that meeting there were no more incidents.

    Technology shouldn't matter, but according to the Court majority it does:

     

    "Gorsuch cites technological advances

    Gorsuch noted in his opinion that the way Americans think about guns has changed dramatically since 1968 when Congress approved the Gun Control Act.

    “Recent years, however, have witnessed profound changes in how guns are made and sold,” Gorsuch wrote.

    In 1968, the milling equipment and materials needed to make a gun at home were far too expensive for most individuals.

    “With the introduction of new technologies like 3D printing and reinforced polymers, that is no longer true,” Gorsuch said. “Today, companies are able to make and sell weapon parts kits that individuals can assemble into functional firearms in their own homes.”"

     

     

    In his dissent Wednesday, Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that majority “blesses the Government’s overreach.” Thomas said he reads the federal law at issue in a much narrower way that does not cover “the unfinished frames and receivers contained in weapon-parts kits.”

     

    One voice of sanity"

    “Congress could have authorized ATF to regulate any part of a firearm or any object readily convertible into one. But, it did not. I would adhere to the words Congress enacted,” Thomas wrote.

    I'm surprised no one asked Forty Rod what it was like back in 1145 😃

     

    See.

    Somebody get up with Forty Rod and ask HIM what he would have liked back then!:P

     

    So it was sort of asked.    

     

    On the other hand, @Forty Rod SASS 3935 would likely go back and tell us about 1066 and how Godwinson didn't listen to him.
