    How can he be likely a criminal if he never committed a crime..?

      PS, I have yet to hear anyone opposed to guns as in take them away from gun owners which is the NRA's mantra, I and the ones I know want enforcement etc. of the gun laws as to who is allowed to have them. Yes, some should be banned outright; MR 15s for example. You don't need on for hunting unless you can't hit a barn door.
      Valerio and Bellini didn't have books in their hand, they had guns when they were part of their unit's effort to control territory being taken from the government of Italy by the people...

      It is not a Constitutional right to hunt. It is actually a right to protect from Tyranny...So you got to have the ability to use a current military firearm. Of course, we grew up in an era where that was interpreted as the States had the right...not the individual.

        You ever meet someone who told you about some illegal thing they did, but got away with?

                  Yes all the time. They are usually telling it to my face as they do it to me. They most often are working for large corporations traded on the NYSE. Those that aren't are usually working for some government entity...How do you think the rich get rich?

                        Go easy on me. I was conforming in advance to your perspective. I was a member of a semi organized militia for 18 years. During most of that time we were 90% combat ready while regular Army units were usually only about 60%. We always thought we were the state's militia, in actuality we were federally funded and controlled. The real state militia members were never known to us and they didn't meet once a month. But, if you read conspiracy rags like Vanity Fair and Gore Vidal's article on the OKC bombers you will see an accurate account of what my state's real militia were doing to help build the bomb used.

                        I don't shoot guns or own any assault rifles because after 18 years shooting is less fun for me than a roofer has pounding nails.

                            And maybe mr. barr as well. The question really has now become "just how far are we willing to let this ****ole go?"
                            Perhaps a clue why .liberals are targeting Barr.

                            WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from involvement in the new indictment unveiled this week by federal prosecutors in Manhattan charging financier Jeffrey Epstein with sex trafficking, a Justice Department official said Tuesday.

                            The official added, however, that Barr has been and will remain recused from overseeing the department's review into how federal prosecutors in Florida, including now-Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, previously reached a plea deal with Epstein that has since come under scrutiny as being too lenient.

                            His recusal in that review stems from Barr's prior work with the law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Acosta also previously worked at the firm.
