Mauser is a type of rifle design, not a caliber. Get a clue.

It's an ACTION design. YOU get a clue.

So then walk into a crowded theater and shout "fire". Then let's check
your
right to free speech again. :-)

It would be legitimate speech if there really were a fire. Yelling "Fire!"
in a crowded theater, however, has no value in communication other than to
cause a stampede and probable violence and personal injury. Unless, of
course, there's a fire.

Let's take the example of students mooning a deputy sheriff in NC. They
were arrested, charged, and convicted. The judge who sentenced them said
in opposition to their argument of free speech that there were exceptions
and this was one. But on appeal the higher court overruled the trial court
and stated that the students could not be tried under any criminal theory,
including indecent exposure.

The Mauser brothers designed a complete rifle. See

True, several attributes of the action design are what remains most
memorable and copied to this day, however, it is equally correct to say
that Mauser was a rifle design. It certainly wasn't a caliber, which is
what was the OP implied, and if you had have a brain you would have
known that.

I have been flying since 1996. In my 1000 hours I have seen an
airplane, not in the vicinity of an airport, maybe 10 times.

Have you been this deluded for a long time or is it something that
happened recently? Polls are statistics, not facts.

Polls are facts about statistics.

Are you claiming that the Gallup poll does NOT substantially describe the
working knowledge of people who supported Bush? If so, you're attempting to
contradict centuries of well-established statistical science.

Sounds to me like it's you that's deluded.

Wow, I've flown south along the west edge of the Washington area
(probably 40 miles from Dulles) and had that many planes called out on
one flight!

I'd say just the opposite. Polls are statistics about facts.

Yes, most of these polls have significant biases.

You need a new hearing aid then.

He said "OF COURSE the exit polls showed Kerry ahead early in the day --
all
the Republicans work for a living, and couldn't vote till after 6 PM!"

The funny part is that is exactly right.

Want to give us a few details, just for the record, about the "well

Your interpretation of "well-regulated" has been the subject of many
debates, and is very likely wrong. Google the term a bit and you'll see what
I mean.

This is a prime example of the ignorance of so many people. The exit
polls on election day were actually amazingly accurate. What many
people like you should learn before you start spouting off is what
actually happened. Results from the exit polls was leaked before the
polls were complete, i.e. around 3 or 4 pm, before the polls were
closed.

No, it's not "spouting off." Those exit polls are what are routinely
released to various news outlets *during* the polling. If it were a matter
of waiting until the polls closed, there'd be little value to an exit poll
since the ballots would soon be counted, anyway.
