Rocket Hobbyists Prevail Over Feds In Court Case
Ellis D. Tripp writes "DC District Court judge Reggie Walton has finally ruled in the 9-year old court case pitting the model rocketry community against the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The ruling is a 'slam dunk' for the rocketry community, stating that the BATFE ignored scientific evidence and overstepped its bounds by classifying ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) as an 'explosive.' Effective immediately, the BATFE has no legal jurisdiction over hobby rocket motors, and a federal Low Explosives User's Permit will no longer be needed in order to purchase APCP motors. The full text of the Judge's decision is reproduced at the link."
"We know best"-ocrats?
Dude, fuck you. The last 8 years have been nothing but a torrent of "We Know Best" ass fucks from Republicans determined to make the government enormously more powerful while claiming that they know best in regards to national security.
Just to be clear on this matter: FUCK YOU.
I hate printers.
Sounds like someone needs to have the clinic up their dosage.
