​@@garysnow1475 your preaching to the converted my friend. I will my exercise constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and open fire on any who attempt to disarm me either through corrupt bureaucratic means or by more direct aggressive means. I'm afraid everyone else will look around waiting for "someone else" to make a stand first so I suppose that someone should be me if that moment comes. I know my history and the moment your "government" demands that the people be disarmed is the moment they are no longer your government but instead your owner and dictator and history has clearly proven that anyone who aims to disarm peaceful citizens are the enemy of freedom and peace. I have had guns pointed at me on three separate occasions in my life and one of those moments were my local police force after my deranged neighbor ( who was a metro cop and also a psychopath) called in a false report of me shooting his house when I had been target shooting at my legal gun range at my home. I was swatted by 8 cops and they made no effort to announce their presence as law enforcement and made threats to kill me as their opening gambit. That did not go well for them as many bullies in history realize when they inevitably cross paths with someone that they cannot intimidate through violent methods and threats of death. It was quite the scandal and they were very lucky that I was a lawful an decent person with no intention of harming anyone but rather a quiet introvert who enjoys target shooting. I was coming out of the top loft of my house with an empty rifle after finishing my target shooting an was gathering my gun cleaning kit and did not have my rifle loaded. My metro cop neighbor had just lost a lawsuit that my sister filed after his dogs had attacked my sister and her shit zu puppy. So it was a retaliation against us for daring to hold him accountable for his negligence and failing to worship the ground he walked on because anyone who wears a badge is superior and unerring compared to ordinary peasants like myself. Watching the newly appointed sheriff of my town spin the events of the evening to fit a blue sympathetic narrative was quite alarming but completely expected and is par for the course in today's society. This was in 2016 right after several cops were ambushed across the nation and the pig men were on high alert and very jumpy. My neighbor knew what he was doing when he made a fraudulent call to the local police and he almost got several people killed. You don't sneak up on a man's property and scream "Move and I will shoot you in the fucking head" while in concealment leaving that person to believe that his life was in jeopardy to unknown assailants. Some of us have had guns pointed as us and been shot at before and aren't easily cowed by the threat of being injured or killed. I'm this world there still exist people who have a modicum of courage and won't back down without a fight. Anyone reading this should take note that courage in the face of death is something that hasn't been snuffed out entirely. I wish we could all live in peace but there are monsters wearing human skin and far to many of them wear badges and hold high office. And I believe they will make their move against freedom sooner rather than later. Tighten your buckle and lace up your boots because we are closer than ever to the threshold which once is crossed, stepping back is no longer possible.

But the question he is being asked, is if he has prosecuted a single case under the statute for which he posted those guards. And the answer, which he refuses to admit to, is a resounding NO.

Would you like to live in a country where people can be prosecuted without being arrested? Think about that. When you can be convicted in absentia when you aren't MIA, when by the time you are arrested you have already been convicted, what chance do you have for a legal defense? I suspect from your comment that you, like "lyin' ted" are wanting to tilt the justice system against your political opponents/enemies. But here's the things about THAT: Once you have eliminated YOUR political enemies, those in power still need enemies to rail against and eliminate. When there isn't anyone left, YOU will become the next in line, the next to be tried and convicted without an arrest, arrested already convicted of whatever they choose to claim against you for political purposes. Unless you have more political power than the established powers already do. I'm willing to bet you don't. If you can't see that you are actually arguing against your own long-term interests, then you are as small-minded as "ted" is.
