(My Clovis News Journal column for January 15, 2016- Obviously, in spite of the headline, the criminal actions don't stop with Obama, but extend to every politician, bureaucrat, or cop who has ever advocated, passed, or enforced even the most "minor" anti-gun "law".)
Are you worried by Obama’s latest anti-gun executive orders? Don’t be. He and his accomplices have no more authority to make up laws regarding guns than I do to demand you paint your house orange.
Don’t believe me?
Consider: The Second Amendment — which, as an amendment, over-rides anything to the contrary in the original Constitution — makes devising or enforcing any law as to guns, by any level of government, a serious crime. You are not bound to obey criminals, not even if they claim they are enforcing a law.
Second of all, even repealing the Second Amendment can't make the core human right to own and to carry any kind of weapon you wish, in any way you see fit, everywhere you go, without ever asking permission from any government employee, go away. Nothing can.
The right existed before the first government was forced on a population, it will exist long after the last government decomposes on the corpses it helped pile up, and it exists everywhere in the Universe where any human being lives. Including North Korea, Chicago, or the post office- in spite of any claims to the contrary.
No one who works for government has any say in who buys, sell, owns, or carries a gun. They have no say in anything regarding any weapons they don't personally own. Not legally; not morally.
This is common sense about guns. It is reasonable, and it is true.
Don't think bullies won't arrest (kidnap, under color of law) or murder you for exercising your rights, though. Bad guys will always be on the prowl to get you. Be alert.
It is up to you to either pretend anti-liberty executive orders and laws have authority over you, or to recognize they don't and live in liberty. No one can make this choice for you.
Liberty is the freedom to do anything which doesn't violate anyone else. Liberty, including the unconditional human right to own and to carry weapons (what "keep and bear arms" means), is your birthright. Liberty, though, never includes a right to threaten or harm anyone who isn't violating you, since that would damage the other person's rights.
Rights are equal and identical no matter who you are, where you were born, or where you happen to be.
So, do the right thing, don't worry about what politicians or their hired guns say, and watch out for those who live to violate you. It's the human thing to do, regardless of what bubbles up from the cesspools of government.

The constitution is garbage.
ReplyDeleteIt is ultimately a framework for coercive government. The Bill of Rights is a section that either omits rights, allows legal provision for violating them, or is about something altogether different; false 'rights'.
The second amendment is framed in the context of facilitating a militia to protect the state. If it were about protecting the right to defense, it would be principally different, and not be limited/relative to property rights or state interests. It would be based on individual rights.
If it were about protecting property rights, it would not be limited to guns or anything other than rightfully acquired property. And the 4th amendment wouldn't be necessary.
The fourth is another good example. It is double-speak. It first recognizes property and privacy rights, but then stipulates an exception in that government can violate you if a man who says magic words describes it on paper.
Rights don't have exceptions. There is no right to violate.
The whole thing is premised on the necessity and interest of government, not rights. It is antiquated evil garbage best suited for eagle cage liner. Burn it or something.
Which is pretty much the point of the second half of my column.
DeleteIf the Constitution isn't "The Law", then there is no law, and no government.
ReplyDeleteEvidence that we already live without the rule of law (wrol), and without government. Same old scam- thugs and enforcers, and good slaves tryin not to upset their overlords.
