As an aside, I think between TFL and THR, there are at least five or six of these "I am going to show these people what the Second Amendment is really about" pro-se complaint threads. In every one of the threads, people voice their concerns and skepticism. In every one of the threads, they get responses similar to what Mr. Nichols wrote here.
The difference with the earlier threads is you can see exactly where those cases went and how they impacted the Second Amendment (and uniformly it was either negatively or not at all). Off the top of my head, the earlier cases were: Hollis Wayne Fincher (now in prison) Don Hamrick (cert denied) Silveira v. Lockyer was not filed pro-se; but otherwise followed this pattern. And I think there are one or two more besides these. Maybe being able to see all those past conversations that sound so much like this one to my ears would at least cause future pro-se complaintants to pause and consider their case. |

I just finished reading the magistrate's Report and Recommendations. Apparently, I am unable to resist the temptation to stay out of this one, against my better judgment.

It's interesting, perhaps telling, that you don't address any of the several posts pointing out that you habitually alienate your natural allies. Again, why do you do that? |

There's a reason this stuff moves slowly. Mr. Nichols' "enemies" have a plan, and it has to be laid out several moves in advance. While it may seem charming and quaint to speak truth to power, one must work within the system to effect real change.
