[Amendment10]

Thank you for referencing that article Olog-hai. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots are reminded that the only specific power to regulate arms that the states have expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds deals with the armed forces as evidenced by clauses 12, 13 and 16 of Section 8 of Article I.

In other words, not only have the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate firearms outside the context of the military, but a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that powers not expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, it is disturbing that federal gun regulations dealing with civilian-owned guns seem to have first appeared in the books during the time the FDR Administration, FDR and Congress infamous for making laws based on powers that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds.

Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Remember in November ’18 !

Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.

Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices off of the bench.

Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

People will no longer wind up in the NICS system, denied the right to legally purchase arms, with no effective appeal just because the SSA says you need help managing your finances.

My copy of "shall not be infringed" does not exclude crazies or freed felons from the rights acknowledged. If they should not be armed, they should not be running around loose!
