You had me at "former ATF agent". RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Yes, and those are so common, aren't they? Flechettes from a shotgun would probably penetrate as well, but that's not the point, is it? Not at all. Neither of those things will be loaded in the shotgun of the average citizen. | |||

I agree with Para, if you tell a lie long enough, someone is bound to believe and act on it. | |||

That reminds me of the exchange between congressman Massey and a Democrat who was insisting a pistol brace makes the gun an automatic. I can't find it now on YouTube. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I looked but didn’t see a name Para. Do you have this witness’s name? I wonder if I know of him, and if he had a decent reputation when I was working there? “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Yes, but this testimony is so ridiculous it would make for an entertaining Daubert challenge, don’t you think? Just defining general acceptance in the relevant scientific community would be interesting. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Maybe this former ATF agent was inspired by the article written by none other than Gersh "AR-15" Kuntzman himself. From Kuntzman's Daily News article back in 07-2014 - New York Daily News journalist: Firing an AR-15 gave me PTSD The article is pay-walled but here are some snippets from his article published elsewhere on-line mocking Kuntzman's traumatic experience - "It feels like a bazooka — and sounds like a cannon," the New York Daily News' Gersh Kuntzman said in an article published Tuesday. "The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable." "I've shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection)," the journalist wrote. "The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick," he added. What a maroon! __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

All such bullshit. Wait, I have a 12 gauge with a 14" barrel. But its one of those clmplex pump action things, too. Betcha can't fire it with one hand....Well, you can but you might hurt yourself. And how ya gonna pump it? Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

I prefer a 12 gauge pump for inside the Home Defense simply due to concerns about over penetration and my expertise with a shotgun. However I also have 3 AR15's and they are my primary choice for external defense due to their accuracy and reliability. As for this "expert", he's former ATF, Nuff Said. I've stopped counting. | |||

There will be. Both sides will submit expert declarations to the court and the court will then decide whether it can enter judgment without a trial (a summary judgment) or if a trial is necessary. The absurdity of this testimony is notable in the abstract but it’s routine in litigation. For the right fee you can find an expert (which in this context only means that they have sufficient training or experience) to say pretty much anything. It shouldn’t matter though - under Bruen the court shouldn’t be considering whether the challenged policy is a good idea, only whether it is historically consistent with the Second Amendment. | |||

what I learned years ago while reading a transcript of a lawyer questioning the expert witness for the other side is that if a lawyer really does his or her job they will first check out the experts resumes... which is always given before they testify... seems 'some folks' like to embellish their education and expertise.... all the defense lawyer has to do is point out the 'lies' on the experts resume.

Not a big revelation. Courtroom "experts" are a dime a dozen. In the mid-80's, I was certified by a judge in a legal action as an expert on personal computers. I almost laughed when the judge said it. Yes, I have built PC's. That's about as hard as setting up a Christmas tree. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Click the twitter post, once there you will see a link which shows the actual written report by the expert and his name is James Yurgealitis. Link | |||

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he a member here? Wait.... It's his brother, Douche Kuntzman! I think he posted a few times in the Chinese weather/spy balloon thread. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

^^^ That's what I was wondering. He might be more of a cousin to Doosh Klitman. | |||
