ATF thread

[bwaites]

I work for a class 8 truck manufacture and know the regulation well. When I started working on trucks they would put out black smoke. I know the math, there was 1000s of tons of particulates being made. Now they are clean. It took time and money to get better air quality. In that time fuel economy went up. The regulation for class 8 trucks in the US is the cleanest in the world. That is why we have clean air. The coal plants here can produce much less polution that the ones in China. EPA again. Green house gas regulation is coming. I guess you do no believe that we are changing the temperature of the world. It is a big conspiracy to kill business?

I bring up 50s because I know someone who has one. They do not get that it will travel as far as it does with as much energy. Here on the east coast not many places to shoot a mile. There should be some kind of class that people have to pass before they get one. In drag racing you have to get a license to 150 MPH. That is because you can hurt yourself and others. The same could be true for 50s.

Again not all goverment is bad. ATF could use some help. They could also add some staff to the department that approves the tax stamps. They have like 8 poeple there.

Walter, you actually believe the EPA is what created that situation? Really?

And you obviously do not actually believe in the Second Amendment if you think .50's should require a license. How about .338 Lapua Magnums? Longest sniper shirt ever was one of those. How about 7mm Magnums? Or .308, or 5.56. All of them are fatal way out past 1000 yards!

Unlike drag racing, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a specific, enumerated right.

Guess we have to start figuring out how to license people who post on blogs!
