2257 Conspiracy Theory
 

Even with the lead Bush has ? the race is still tight. They pushed a ruling on the 2257 issue ?at least 90 days back? from what I heard. That being said, it will be till after the election before any action is taken. Everything in the country is about politics right now. Here are some examples:

Bush let Clinton?s assault weapons ban expire to appease the NRA, even though it was a bad idea.

Cheney waffled some on the party hard-line on gay marriage in the debates to win some gay support.

By these same token, Bush will not prosecute the adult industry till AFTER he wins the next election. Could you imaging the fallout, not only from the adult community but also the public in general, for sending people to prison of paperwork violations? It would have him look like the rightwing nut-job! Which he is! He will also lose him the support he seems to enjoy from some people in this industry for some mysterious reason.

However, after the next election, Bush will be a lame duck, so he will have four years to push his conservative agenda down our throats. He can?t get elected again, so who cares? Give Bush 4 more years and he will be ten times as dangerous as he is now and there will be a lot of people in this industry bound for Club Fed.

Vote Kerry and take out the trash before the trash takes us out!

good point Jay thats why its so important for people to get out and vote.

I just read somewhere that Ash-hahahahaha wasn't coming back, any ideas who Bush is looking at to replace him?

I've heard that rumor as well. I also think that the Bush campaign wants to give people that impression because Asshat is so unpopular. Hinting that the AG may be gone might help the campaign, but I doubt you will see Johny removed next year.

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, is politicly motivated right now, but as soon as Bush gets 4 years he's gonna bait-and-switch. Doing anything too over-the-top now would cost him the election.

Just for the people that wonder - I am niether liberal nor a democrat. I would gladly vote Rebublican if they had someone I could trust. Bush is not the guy for the job. The past 4 years should be evidence of this.

you mean if you were allowed to vote?

There is the possibility of a pushback. But there's also the possibility of an October surprise, being the war against porn, if Bush gets behind in the numbers.

It's also a bad idea to talk about something you've heard summed up in the media -- the assault weapon ban was only restrictions on 'cosmetic' issues of an assault weapon, banning combinations of elements like:
pistol grip, telescopic stock, bayonet fitting, suppressor threading.

if you think that somehow a weapon is more deadly if it is an M-16/A2 rifle with a telescopic stock, or one with a solid stock, or it has a bayonet holder, or suppressor fitting please stop reading.

If that wasn't stupid enough, you could still purchase a weapon that had combinations of the above elements legally, if it was made before the ban date.

so to recap, the assault weapon ban was in reality a ban on how a weapon could, or couldn't look? feel safer?

Good point on the weapons ban. But did you notice that not many of the public know that.

They just think that Bush has given back the right to have assault weapons.

I agree with you completely xxxjay, except for the part about the Bush lead. What lead? Today's AP poll said Kerry's in the lead.


The word on the street is that AK 47's were banned before and now they're legal, is that incorrect?

I actually knew that there is a technical arguement about the cosmetic thing, but WFT do people really need automatic weapons anyway? I think they all should be banned. Guns suck.

Regardless of weather it was cosmetic or not - it is still was a political move.

You're confusing the issues - an assault weapon is not classified as an automatic weapon, it is still illegal in the United States to own a automatic weapon without a special type of license. It also illegal to have flash suppressors and suppressors (commonly called silencers) the assault weapon ban affected semi-automatic rifles.

My vote will surely go to keepin' my paychecks.
Nuf' said?

Negative, only if they possessed some of the characteristics of the above :
they already had a pistol grip, so bayonet fitting, and a collapsing stock made it illegal - even then like I said if you were serious you could buy a pre-ban weapon, and if you were really serious you could buy one of the street from a shady guy modified to automatic.

I would feel safer tomorrow if instead of a law banning a stock/muzzle change, they would ban the sale of modification kits for weapons (you can buy out of the back of magazines) and for gun makers to be forced to make tamper proof weapons that couldn't be converted, or the loop holes closed on gun shows etc.

One flaw of the original ban is it banned my weapons by name. The gun makers just changed the names of the guns and continued making pretty much the same weapons, but - like I said - guns suck.

This has gone totally off topic.

Does anyone else agree that this 2257 delay is election realated?

Federal Prisoners get NO checks.

Yep Kerry has the lead!! lol

More true words have never been spoken. It's great that Kerry is picking up some steam. He's been wiping the floor with Bush during the debates.

He lives in Atlanta, or are you saying becasue he's anti Bush he should not be allowed to vote?

"Your sites are all belong to us" - Johnny A.

And that ain't Johnny Appleseed

No, Jay admitted he couldn't vote because of some trouble with the law in his past.

Yes, I have a felony on my record - no big deal and it was a long time ago. That does not stop me from being concerned about the state of the country and this industry.

Fuck a felony anyway - I think people should have to pass an IQ test to vote.

i really hope this administration doesn't get another 4 years. as a whole they have proved they're only good for getting americans killed.

No, I hardly doubt that 2257 has been delayed in an effort to get 500 webmasters to vote for BUsh

yeah, Charly . . . that is what I am trying to say . . . idiot

a long time ago? seems that it was pretty recent that you were trying to convince us that you were put in jail because of your website . . . . or was that for another offense?

That was pretty classic

So I did not know he has a criminal record.

Unlike you I do not read everything on GFY and miss somethings.

Bigdog - you are a fucking moron. That was a drug violation in 1997.

yet you manage to come up with stupid questions like "are you saying becasue he's anti Bush he should not be allowed to vote?"

You are flip-flopping over here baddog. Woof, woof.

amazing how the bush supports on this board can't figure that out...


I personally don't deal in nude images, so for me 2257 is mute...however, I'm still a fan of the 1st Amendment and am fucking SHOCKED that anyone in the biz could honestly support a religious zealot like Bush...

Flip-flopping? Did you read a newspaper or something and learn a new catch phrase?

What exactly am I flip-flopping about?

baddong must not make much in this biz....Losing it it dosent seem to be a deterrant to voting pro-bush

if you weren't such an idiot you might know I am not voting for Bush :321GFY

I sure hope the fuck he doesn't come back.

Bush should have gotten rid of him before the election, he's a fucking asswipe
