  1. I’m sorry but didn’t the 9th circuit Court of appeals reverse the high capacity law like a month ago or something?? Isn’t that an unconstitutional charge?

  2. Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
