- Because the statutes in question are obvious to even the most casual
- reader. I'll quote the text of part of one of them here:
-
- "No person shall purchase, possess or use any
- tear gas weapon which expels a projectile, or
- which expels the tear gas by any method other
- than an aerosol spray, or which is of a type,
- or size of container, other than authorized by
- regulation of the Department of Justice."
-
- Now, with your legendary research skills, you should be able to locate
- this section, and the other applicable law. You might also determine what the
- definition of "tear gas" is, and how that has been interpreted...
-
- Ah, but to do that, you'd have to know what you are doing. And if you
- did it, you'd have to admit that you are wrong...
-
- (Note that the text I posted is *not* the section which is charged
- against most often...)

- So? (Admittedly, if you were research-impaired, you could get bogged
- down in all sorts of stuff about guard certification...)

- No.

-
- Wrong again. I also read all relevant cases, and the annotations, and
- while I found a great deal of interesting material, mostly relating to police
- abuses of power, none of it disproved Andy's claim (though one case sort-of
- affirmed it). I will gladly mail the text of the relevant statutes to any
- interested party, except you, DC. You'll have to do your own research.
