Safer Streets 2012: Candidates, don’t hold back.
Canada Free Press ^ | 22 November, 2011 | John Longenecker

Now that H.R. 822 seems to be on the move, a lot of optimism about a climate change in Washington is coming alive. Our idea of climate change is, of course, how warm things are for the second amendment. I don’t care for gun laws that ‘permit’ second amendment freedoms; I much prefer the repeal of all gun laws as an affirmation of who is the Sovereign in this country. All gun laws are a challenge to our authority as supreme, and when we stand for it, we confirm that paradigm that we are not the Sovereign and the servants are.

How this can be reversed to obtain a brighter weather outlook is for 2012 candidates to affirm our second amendment authority over them. Yes, over them. Anyone who recognizes this on the stump will probably be jet propelled into the White House with further evidence of climate change, the landslide.

I was intrigued by the report of an Arkansas candidate who announced that she obtained her concealed carry permit. The castigation of her was obscene. Someone gave her good advice in announcing her second amendment values, and though she may be in for a rough road, so will we all for the sake of smaller government. She is Republican Beth Anne Rankin, a candidate for 4th District Congress.

A lot of candidates will wonder whether this step is politically safe for them. It is.

Here is something which is terribly important and which gives significance to this plank on the platform of liberty: affirmation of gun rights is the affirmation that the candidate trusts the electorate and that the candidate believes the electorate is the Sovereign.

GCA68 needs to be repealed. As well as all fees regarding anything gun related. Want to charge me for a carry permit? Fine. Now let’s talk about that $5 poll tax.

Absolutely agree. It may take a while, but it needs to go! Lots of low hanging fruit to be picked off on the way there.
