United States v. Carlson, 900 F.2d 1346, 1349 (9th Cir.1990); United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir.1990); In re Professional Investment Properties of America, 955 F.2d 623, 625 (9th Cir.), cert. denied 113 S.Ct. 63 (1992). Every case cited deals with Plaintiffs who were afforded an evidentiary hearing. Mr. Young was not afforded one and is on appeal of a 12b(6) motion to dismiss. Mr. Young, while a pro se plaintiff, asked for an injunction of all of HRS 134. See ER 5. It is unclear how Defendants’ argument is tenable when the lower court addressed many of these issues in the opinion this appeal stems from. Accordingly all issues are proper including those raised in the various notices of supplemental authority. Mr. Young’s Presumption of Waiver Has Never Been Rebutted Defendants filed a motion to strike to a series of 28(j) letters earlier in this proceeding. Mr. Young plead a presumption of waiver. See Mr. Young’s Response to Defendants’ Motion to Strike at 15. “In a civil matter a rebuttable presumption can be created if a rational relation exists between an act and the presumption.” See 1 Case: 12-17808 06/01/2013 ID: 8651308 DktEntry: 37 Page: 7 of 36 Mobile, Jackson & Kan.City R.R. v. Turnipseed, 219 U.S. 35, 43 (1910). A rational relation exists between Defendants not promptly responding to the March 21st , 2013 Notice which explicitly states it contains a new argument and Defendants waiving their right to strike those notices. Defendants have never attempted to rebut this presumption. Accordingly, all notices of supplemental authority are proper and the motion to strike must be denied. However, Mr. Young concedes whether this Court accepts the requested affirmative relief of a supplemental brief is a separate issue. Accordingly, Mr. Young will reiterate the relief requested later in this brief. Defendants Reliance on Guidelines For Security Guards Has No Relevance Defendants’ rely on guidelines for the issuance of handguns permits for private investigators and security guards to claim there are guidelines for private citizens who are not engaged in these professions. Mr. Young is a retired infantryman (21 years) and currently a Tenrikyo Priest. As such Defendants take the position Mr. Young “is not entitled to due process” as their position is due process is a luxury not the right of every American. 2 Case: 12-17808 06/01/2013 ID: 8651308 DktEntry: 37 Page: 8 of 36 Switchblades and Balisong Knives Are Less Deadly Than Legal Knives Master Burton Richardson has conducted a study of a variety of blades in order to show there is not even a rational relationship to banning switchblades and balisong knives when other knives are legal. In candor to the Court, this was done per request of Counsel. I live in Hawaii where there is a ban on switch blades and butterfly (Filipino balisong) knives. Apparently, the reasoning behind these bans is that these types of knives are inherently more dangerous than other legal folding knives due to their rapid, one-hand deployment. I wondered if this distinction was accurate, so I tested the speed of presentation of five different blades: a Benchmade switch blade, a butterfly knife, a Spyderco Delica 4, a Cold Steel “Espada”, and a common pocket knife. The switch blade was legally owned by a military officer. The butterfly knife was a legal, dull-edged training version, while the others are legal to carry in Hawaii. To deploy a folding knife, one must first pull the blade from a pocket or carrying system before unfolding the knife. The old argument is that a switch blade or balisong is too dangerous to be entrusted to the public because a citizen can pull and quickly open the blade with one hand. But do these two actually have a decisive advantage on speed of deployment? To test the speeds, I started with the knife in my pocket and my hand grasping the knife in a manner conducive to opening. The person timing gave the command “draw” while pushing the start button on the stopwatch. The timer hit stop after the blade clicked into the locked position. In reality, a little extra time would be required to achieve a functional grip, but just timing until the locked position was empirically more accurate since the timer would have to visually judge when a proper grip was achieved. Please note that there is certainly some variance due to the impossibility of having the exact same draw stroke each time, but that variance is minimal. I did only four draws for each knife as I found that the difference per draw was very slight. Also, I did not go at absolute full speed. I did smooth, efficient draw.

    The Army's M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress

    The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces June 8, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22888 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The M-4 carbine is the Army’s primary individual combat weapon for infantry units. While there have been concerns raised by some about the M-4’s reliability and lethality, some studies suggest that the M-4 is performing well and is viewed favorably by users. The Army is undertaking both the M4 Carbine Improvement Program and the Individual Carbine Competition, the former to identify ways to improve the current weapon, and the latter to conduct an open competition among small arms manufacturers for a follow-on weapon. An integrated product team comprising representatives from the Infantry Center; the Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center; the Program Executive Office Soldier; and each of the armed services will assess proposed improvements to the M4. The proposal for the industry-wide competition is currently before the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, and with the anticipated approval, solicitation for industry submissions could begin this fall. It is expected, however, that a selection for a follow-on weapon will not occur before FY2013, and that fielding of a new weapon would take an additional three to four years. This report will be updated as events warrant. Congressional Research Service The

  • Adcor and the Demise of the Improved Carbine Competition

    Adcor and the Demise of the Improved Carbine Competition

    Adcor and the Demise of the Improved Carbine Competition 5/09/13 | by Max Slowik After five years of trials, the U.S. Army announced plans to cancel the Improved Carbine Competition on the heels of the end of its second phase. The competition would evaluate a handful of rifles that were in contention to replace the M4; the Colt ACC-M (sometimes called the ACM), the FN FNAC, the Heckler & Koch HK416, the Remington ACR and one by the upstart rifle manufacturer Adcor Defense, the BEAR Elite. In an attempt to tighten their budget, the Army has made the decision to halt the competition, saving them as much as $300 million from now through 2018. Right of the bat the Army will save $49 million in 2014, the first year of individual carbine field testing. The Army originally planned to put 30,000 rifles into service for further evaluation. Of the five rifles that were selected for phase II of the trials, three were to be put to the test in phase III. The Army is cancelling the competition before announcing which three rifles would make it to the final stage of testing, six weeks after the Inspector General audited the program. As the Army is currently in phase I of the M4 Product Improvement Program, upgrading their current M4s to M4A1s and exploring options for phase II, replacing the standard carbine handguard with a free-floating quad rail, the auditors decided that the Army doesn’t need a new rifle to replace the current crop of M4s. Phase III of the competition would have determined if these newer rifles would outperform the M4 in terms of reliability, accuracy and barrel life.

  • USA M14 Rifle

    USA M14 Rifle

    USA M14 Rifle The M14 rifle, officially the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14, is an American select-fire battle rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 in) ammunition. It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1959 replacing the M1 Garand rifle in the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Marine Corps by 1965 until being replaced by the M16 rifle beginning in 1968. The M14 was used by U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps for basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. The M14 was developed from a long line of experimental weapons based upon the M1 Garand rifle. Although the M1 was among the most advanced infantry rifles of the late 1930s, it was not an ideal weapon. Modifications were already beginning to be made to the basic M1 rifle's design during the last months of World War II. Changes included adding fully automatic firing capability and replacing the eight-round en bloc clips with a detachable box magazine holding 20 rounds. Winchester, Remington, and Springfield Armory's own John Garand offered different conversions. Garand's design, the T20, was the most popular, and T20 prototypes served as the basis for a number of Springfield test rifles from 1945 through the early 1950s Production contracts Initial production contracts for the M14 were awarded to the Springfield Armory, Winchester, and Harrington & Richardson. Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge Inc. (TRW) would later be awarded a production contract for the rifle as well.
