[QUOTE="Yojinbo, post: 2175579, member: 756"] "Wickard v. Filburn" is where the wheels came off of the state's rights wagon if memory serves. That dastardly farmer Roscoe Filburn grew too much wheat (that he never sold or intended to sell). He clearly did this so that he could feed his own livestock like a free American might want to do. The villain! The monster! Back to topic, I am not sure why Coburn is doing this. We have so very many laws on the fed books now that don't help anyone - I am not a fan of anything more that "does not hurt us very bad" - and that may be the best thing I can say about this. Any crazed young man willing to kill his mother to get her guns will surely kill an LEO to get his/her guns; or a solider, or an agent guarding a VIP, etc. No registration system will solve this equation for us. The end result for the Gun Grabbers is all guns gone - nothing less. If you listen to them they will admit this often. We cannot accept half measures and compromise - we cannot let them ratchet away our rights with no movement in the other direction. The world is not the same place it was before Heller v. D.C. - we cannot allow it to be. In the same way that the awful and misguided Wickard v. Filburn broke our government outright, the wonderful Heller v. D.C. has fixed our 2nd amendment rights as an individual right. We cannot let our fellow citizens act like Heller never happened. This decision reversed a long trend of "..it probably means National Guard.." logic in schools and courts. People are starting to understand what those zany founders might have actually meant. Make no mistake, I am a Coburn fan still. But I am missing the merit in this amendment. I like that Coburn is not a "straight party" republican. He's a good litmus test for "anything for the greater good for the GOP" crowd - they hate him - and I enjoy that. Many republicans would strip our rights just as easily as Democrats, with different motives, but he same result. Especially in Oklahoma where too often; 'republican' means 'democrat who cannot abide abortion'. [/QUOTE]
