Is the sniper rifle really necessary?! Unless you're planning on eliminating the cell phone user so they never discover the hack. Otherwise, wouldn't a stand-alone scope do just as well, and get you into a lot less trouble from law enforcement?
I think you're going to be in trouble from Homeland Security, but not necessarily the regular police. You have a right to bear arms. While you can carry a rifle without a license in plain sight downtown (barring municipal codes), it's illegal to have a handgun in a safe at your home unless you're licensed, registered, and have passed a background check.
But Homeland Security throws that out the window; any "terrorist activity", as they define it, is susceptible to their rules.
One of the reasons why laws should be written as precisely as possible...
If the 2nd ammendment was rewritten today, with todays needs in mind (and not those 200+ years ago), there wouldn't be a 2nd ammendment. Or if there was, it would be two words. The military. Not a bunch of accountants running around with handguns, making "pow! pow!" sounds. Like they could force off an attack from anyone, apart form some other accountants. Guns don't make soldiers. Just because you have the means to kill a person, doesn't mean you would be able to. Shit. I have lots of frying pans a
What in the heck are you talking about? What accountants are running around making "pow pow" sounds, and believing that this is effective?
(And, for the record, I think you're wrong. I believe that if the framers could have known what was being being done to the 2nd amendment (now and over the last 100 years or so), they'd have tried to clarify it a bit -- "...and when we say 'shall not be infringed', we mean it.")
The Bill of Rights was framed right after we Americans just removed a foreign government from our lands. In order to have a revolution - you need free speech to articulate your reasons, you need privacy and meeting to plan, and you need guns.
That the reason the Bill of Rights allows us to talk, meet and have guns.... just in case.
You might be writing from England, I don't know, but the part about "illegal to have a handgun in safe at your home unless you're licensed, registered, and have passed a background check" is most certainly NOT true in America.
Perhaps England has a division called "Homeland Security" as well, and that's why I'm confused?
When you purchase a handgun in the state where I live, you have to pass a background check, plus a 24-hour "cooling off" period. At the end of this period you get a handgun permit. All handguns purchased in the state must be registered.
And I'm not even going to get into the concealed weapon laws in this state.
Parts of it are true in some parts of the USA. I don't know about the back ground check, but it is my understanding that NY state requires handgun licenses.
I believe that some states even require licenses for each specific handgun.
In some states it may be illegal to own a handgun, but not here in Texas (nor in most states, I think). I can walk into a pawn shop, buy a handgun and keep it in my nightstand with no legal problems whatsoever (and no, there are no children in the house). The only thing that's illegal to do with handguns as far as I can tell is carry them openly. You can only carry them concealed (with a permit) as far as I know.
As far as not getting in trouble, you probably will at least get some nervous people if you'

Yeah, I know it's off topic.
