A very good Gun Rights group

I recommend The Gun Rights group Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership very highly. You do not need to be Jewish to join. They are working on a campaign to expose the BATFE's criminally abusive behavior against gun owners. JPFO also has many very good publications such as their "Gran'pa Jack" series of booklets, and the book Hope by Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith. Hope is almost a blueprint of what a good libertarian president would do. They also have documentaries such as Innocents Betrayed (which I appear in), and BATFE Fails the Test.

There are still others that also offer better choices than the NRA (which always seeks to compromise away our guns). Gun Owners of America and the Pink Pistols are two that come to mind.

...to Own and to Carry any Weapon...

Those of us who are interested in owning firearms and other defensive weapons put up with a lot of abuse at the hand of government. Do you realize that the Second Amendment does not give you the right to "keep and bear arms"? It recognizes a right that is yours simply because you were born Human. No part of the Bill of Rights even applies to you unless you work for government; then it tells you exactly what things you are absolutely prohibited to do. The rights existed before government; they will exist long after government is in the compost pile of history. Any politician or bureaucrat who violates any part of the Constitution or Bill of Rights has committed treason. Pass a gun law; go to prison. Kill a person while enforcing a gun law; die in prison. I will have more on counterfeit laws later. These are any law which prohibits or regulates something other than force or fraud. Almost all US laws are counterfeit. Real laws do not need to be "enforced". Counterfeit laws must NOT be enforced.

The "Time's Up" Flag

We have all seen the wonderful old Gadsden Flag with the coiled rattlesnake proclaiming "DONT TREAD ON ME". For hundreds of years it has warned enemies of freedom that we should not be provoked. For those same "hundreds of years" we have tolerated crimes by government without striking back, with a few notable exceptions. After all these years of being poked with the stick of government and stomped with jackboots, the snake has had enough. That is why I designed the "Time's Up" flag. It is the new flag of the resistance.

Blaming the Victim

I'm sure you have noticed, as have I, that frequently when we hear of a murder, rape, or other crime of violence, people say "if he hadn't been in the wrong part of town..." (whatever that means), or "if she wasn't wearing that_____...", or "you shouldn't flash money around that way", or some other drivel. This is called "blaming the victim". It is a psychological defense mechanism that allows us to delude ourselves that if only we behave a certain way, bad things will never happen to us, personally. I see a similar phenomenon in libertarian thought on occasion. Instead of blaming the heartless cop who is "only enforcing the law", or the soulless reavers of the IRS who steal the livelihood from our friends and neighbors, or the mindless bureaucrats who take up valuable space, we blame their victims. We insist that others fight back as WE believe they ought to, instead of seeing that they may have too much at stake to make a scene at this time. Or they may simply have other priorities. If you refuse to submit to a "driver's license", ignore income taxes, reject a Social Security Number, build without a permit, carry a gun without government permission, or any of the other nice ways we can fight back, then that is wonderful. I support your defiance 100%. Just do not despise your neighbor whose family would not survive if she went to jail for refusing to cooperate with the government criminals. She is not the problem; she is the victim. Blaming the victim is a mental defect that hides reality from your conscious mind.
