    David Brin has a similar meme, asking folks how they feel about certain events during the Bush (43) presidency: How would you feel if Clinton had...

    Is funny, when you can find YouTube videos of Cheney lambasting Clinton for going in to Bosnia, engaging in Nation Building and foreign adventures. Just goes to show, a politician will say anything if he thinks it will get him elected.

    I used to try and vote for the man who seemed the most straightforward, but thanks to teh intertubes, is so easy to find someone's complete voting record and sound bites. Now days, I vote for who seems able to do the least damage. Sigh.

    Even though the Bush administration started an FBI hunt through Clinton Administration appointees, as soon as Bush took office, there has not been one single indictment of a Clinton administration appointee.

    For contrast, look at how many Bush people have already ended up in court.

    There were those directors in NASA and NOAA, doctoring reports and changing what scientists in those groups were allowed to publish. But hey, they're loyal to the president and that's good. Just like signing statements, Executive Privilege should not be constrained. By anyone. Unless they're a Democrat president.

    ATF laws do require you to be licensed to manufacture firearms. Is similar to Class III license and you need to have local LE chief sign off on it. Friend of mine's a gun smith and he had to move to another county, after supporting losing candidate for county sherif. A few years later, his reapplication was turned down. Local politics suck.

    But yeah, sales between individuals are pretty much allowed everywhere, I think, other than some big cities. As long as you are selling to a known felon, that is.

    I think "The People" refers to state run groups and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. And "religion" is obviously referring to real churches and not just a bunch of folks dancing nekkid in the moonlight. As for "the press", sure, if you're an actual news paper business, putting words to paper with a press, you have the right to print what you want. Back then, no one imagined words and images flowing through the aether and being disseminated by all manner of modern devices. The Bill of Rights really only refers to society and technology of it's time. Founding fathers would never allow just anyone to broadcast out their opinions. Folks gotta' keep this stuff in mind when reading old papers and such.
