There's no constitutional or legal basis for them not releasing it
I am afraid that we are living in a world where the CONSTITUTION ain't worth a shit to those in power.
To us, the powerless the CONSTITUTION still means something - because it serves as a shield against abuse.
But to those living and working inside Washington D.C., the CONSTITUTION is anything but a mere piece of paper, as for them, POWER IS EVERYTHING.
Their subjugation of their subjects (aka, people like you and me) did not start yesterday. It started DECADES AGO, it's only now that they have gained so much power that they have become SO EMBOLDEN that they dare to publicly dis-regard the Constitution and everything that was stated inside the Constitution.
Who is to blame for it ? Them in Washington, D.C., or us, the voters who voted them in, every fucking four years, without fail ?
We (US citizens) are now beholden to and RULED by persons who have broken their oaths to uphold the Constitution. I am appalled at the brazen and callous attitudes of our elected AND appointed "leaders". This callousness first caught my attention while I watched Oliver North, a sworn officer in the US Military, brazenly challenge the very precepts he was supposed to uphold. My impression of him is that he is a traitor, a coward, and a war criminal, and should have been prosecuted as such.
While I wholeheartedly agree with your statements and sentiments, I must ask this of your last sentence (specifically, "the voters who voted them in, every fucking four years, without fail?"): What choices do we truly have in a rigged system? How can "we" correct the situation? I am convinced that the US (as a Constitutional Republic) is in the throes of failure, akin to the "bread and circuses" phase of the Roman Empire (or, the Roaming Umpire, for Firesign Theatre fans). All hail Caliuga (sp?). Let's trump the Ump!
We have jokes like What is a Rednecks last word "Hey Billy Bob!, Watch This!"...
I resemble that remark, you insensitive clod!
No, they were designed and built for the purpose of killing and destroying. Honestly, that apologistics makes me sick.
The devices were invented for the express purpose of killing things, nobody would have invented such an expensive device otherwise. And yes the intent of the action has everything to do with it, why else would they have invented the things in the first place? Target practice as a sport didn't exist until well after the invention of the firearm, it was not the cause of the invention of the firearm.
Please pardon me if I am making an untoward assumption about your perception of carrying firearms. For some people, firearms are necessary tools. When one lives in a remote area, carrying firearms is normal. One's choice of properly carried firearm(s) is dictated by local threats. I usually carry small caliber weapons (to deal with small threats, such as rabid skunks and raccoons, or the occasional rattlesnake), a shotgun, and a high- capacity rifle (to deal with packs of javelina, which have attacked me in the recent past). YMMV.
Play with a M1 rifle? No. Fire with supervision? As soon as they are big enough the kick won't knock them over.

Where would he put it on?
His "other head".
Double standards, double standards everywhere...
... and how our freedoms shrink. Double standards, double standards everywhere, they now know what you think.
I'm telling you, the government just isn't providing service. So what are we paying them for, anyway?
They ARE providing service - the kind a bull provides to a cow.
I wouldn't call it God but it is a Trinity, divided against itself
"ahem... "AMEN".
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
