lol, to all the posts.  It has been talked about a lot here because I live in the same general area as this chick.  Last I heard the high bidder was 250,000.00.  I guess she is one quarter of the way to her goal!

Its amazing that scientists have finally come up with something the church has known about for years.  Just read the first chapter of Genesis and it says that God said it and bang it was  here..  Hmmmm.  Go figure scientists spend their whole life trying to disprove Gods existence and  all they do in the end is prove how real he is!

I'm here!  I have been really busy this summer.  But I check in daily!

2nd degree is bad! Your friends must of beat the kids with some sort of weapon to get it. It is a felony that adds up to 7 to 10 years in prison with a fine of about $14,000.

I really don't think you have any idea what you are talking about so don't comment on things you don't know about.  I'm sure the laws in Colorado are not the same as in your state.  (Wisconsin)  Go eat some more cheese.

Any way Blackjax, it looks like a class 6 Felony per Title 18.  Here is a chart of penalties that I found for Colorado.

Felony
   

Minimum Sentence                            Maximum Sentence

Class 1 
Life imprisonment                              Death

Class 2
8 years / 5,000 dollar fine                  24 years / 1,000,000 dollar fine

Class 3
4 years / 3,000 dollar fine                  12 years / 750,000 dollar fine

Class 4
2 years / 2,000 dollar fine                  6 years / 500,000 dollar fine

Class 5
1 year / 1,000 dollar fine                   3 years / 100,000 dollar fine

Class 6
1 year / 1, 000 dollar fine                  18 months / 100,000 dollar fine

 
   
Misdemeanor
   
Class 1
6 months / 500 dollar fine or both       18 months / 5,000 dollar fine or both

Class 2
3 months / 250 dollar fine or both        1 year / 1,000 dollar fine or both

Class 3
Fifty dollar fine

If Colorado is anything like Cali, the class 6 Felony will be dropped to a Class 1 or 2 Misdemeanor.  Your friends will likely end up with some community service and retribution fines.  Along with probation.  Every state is different and I didn't put a lot of time into researching this, but from what you said in your post, it sounds about right.  Unless they are juveniles, then noting above applies!

Well just to clarify, the 2nd amendment declares a well-regulated militia as "being necessary to the security of a free State." The states are now free, this was supposed to be applied to home-defenders in the time of war, ie. a civil war or an invasion of the homeland.

So the whole "right to bear arms" is taken way out of context, our states are quite free, and militias aren't around anymore, unless you count the national guard. If people really want a strict interpretation of the second amendment, then all gun owners should be forced to sign up for the national guard so they can join the "militia" that would legalize their gun ownership.

On that note, I do think that the second amendment argument is the dumbest reason for gun owners to say "looky here, it says so i can has guns in this here paper!"

but...i am still for gun ownership. We own a few at my house, a springfield 1903, mauser K98, mossberg 500, and a handful of lever action .22 cal rifles. I think gun owership is a fine and dandy thing, but what i am against is when people are able to waltz into their local gun dealership and purchase a grizzly .50 caliber rifle with 3 grand and a CA driver's license. Thankfully, as of 2003 (maybe 2004, i forget the year this took place) that is no longer possible.

Let's get this straight, because the stuff i wrote above may seem confusing or contradictory. I am for gun ownership, infact i'm looking into getting a rifle myself soon. However, i think the second amendment argument used by people to argue the reason why they deserve guns, is absolute bullshit.

This is where a lot of people differ in their interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.  I believe the Spirit of the law was written to provide the people of this country the right to freely bear arms and have the ability to form a militia to protect themselves from the government.  The idea isn't just to be able to carry a firearm, but the ability to defend yourself from oppressive government rule.  Remember that when this document was written, the mind set was freedom from government rule (British).  The forefathers wanted to protect the people and themselves from another tyranny.  If my memory serves me correct, when we fought the British, the controlling government (British) were allowed to come to your home, take anything they wanted and you couldn't say anything about it.  This wasn't acceptable.   

Good editing job Lightning...th e original post had him in the Marines...


Clear as mud now.

I thought the proper English translation was a better fit.
