    OK, fine. We help the people who want to leave to leave and we give them the homes of the haters who hate police who we put into the Zone. We tell them the Zone is a Sanctuary city where they can be safe from Police.

              Yep. They are all a bunch of convicts!

              We need to do the same. But maybe in Antarctica.

                    I made the distinction since I dated an Aussie in the mid 80s who took great offense when someone implied that her ancestors were convicts.

                      Well all of our American ancestors were criminals too, to the British.

                        He was previously convicted on federal firearms charges (the majority of these offences are felonies, and in most circumstances felons cannot posses firearms). Additionally it is illegal to possess a firearm if one is a habitual controlled substance user...and also illegal to possess a firearm to aid in the distribution of controlled substances (both of those are federal laws). And they were serving a narcotics warrant. So the multiple federal gun laws in place didn't stop him from possessing firearms or doing this.
                        "If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

                          So let's make even MORE gun laws people like him can ignore!
                          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            Actually my grandfather was German (Schleswig-Holstein) and my great-grandmother was from Cornwall. But that aside, Britain had been shipping convicts to America in their thousands before they started sending them to Australia.

                              So your grandfather was a Nazi? That's better?

                                And the state I live in had a whole bunch of convicts who were sentenced to transportation there in its early days.
