If I am right the conversion to pdf files violates the 1986 law.

I wonder who Charlie "got permission" from?


If Clinton is elected she's just say screw the laws and I'm going to do exactly what I want. The precedent has been set by Obama and without Congress or the Supreme Court to stop her she'll get her way. The 2nd Amendment will no longer be an individual right but a privilege which with the advent of universal background checks and mandatory registration will evolved into confiscation. IMO: Within 20 years firearms ownership will be a rare privilege available to only a very few.

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.
