A house and pawn shop raid by federal authorities in Baton Rouge may have prevented a plan to assassinate police officers.

The attack was reportedly to be carried out during a protest for Alton Sterling, a black man killed by police.

WBRZ reported: “The source, who asked not to be identified, said the authorities were working leads on a Government Street pawn shop burglary that happened after Sterling was shot and killed by police in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, July 5. Between 7 and 8 weapons were stolen, and one of the three people arrested after the raid told investigators during questions the guns and ammunition were stolen to be able to shoot and kill police during protests.”

I’m almost wondering if anyone that kills cops, and survives, will receive a last day pardon from Obama as a final FU.

I’m worried something is about to go down in AL because a gun store was broken into in Tuscaloosa. Many arms taken. My guess......Birmingham or Montgomery.

I’ve been hearing about this “self reliance” meme, which is something that sounds real good on the surface, but its formula seems to be really vague. And how is it going to interface with the rest of society?

Maybe they and “the Man” really can’t see eye to eye. And they want to do the equivalent of seceding.

One thing though... as I keep on saying ad infinitum. It’s going to need a gospel vision to break through the severe balkanization that this heralds. And I mean, as in a revival that packs churches and carries on to the outside world.

If the alleged plot is real, then it is good that SOMEBODY stopped it.

H O W E V E R …

I don’t see where the feds had constitutional jurisdiction with this raid, corrections, insights welcome. So while the alleged plot was stopped, we have another possible example of the already unconstitutionally powerful feds once again unconstitutionally expanding their powers even more.

Note that both James Madison and Thomas Jefferson had warned us about gradual and silent encroachments of power by the feds as evidenced by the following excerpts.

Since the pawn shop was dealing with weapons, would their being an FFL have provided the feds their jurisdiction?

no, they were just extremely careless.

you know, this really just REEKS of public relations BS.

Just like everytime there is some terror attack, within a day, Ash Carter or some lackey general comes out and announces how we whacked an ISIS leader or the “second in command of Al Qaeda”.

Nothing but photo op lies.

"Since the pawn shop was dealing with weapons, would their being an FFL have provided the feds their jurisdiction?"

I’m glad that you mentioned this. Speaking of unconstitutionally big federal government, please bear with the following observations.

First, from a related thread …

Regarding constitutional gun rights, patriots need to get a grip on the idea that the feds have only those powers which the states have delegated to the feds expressly via the Constitution.

In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified, using broad language, that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, 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.

And while the states have constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to support and regulate the armed forces as evidenced by several clauses in the Constitution’s Secton 8 of Article I, the states have never constitutionally delegated the specific power to regulate civilian-related arms imo.

Also, it is disturbing to note that federal regulations for personal protection firearms seemingly didn’t start appearing in the books until FDR was president, FDR and the Congress at that time infamous for making laws which Congress could not justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control

Next, since you mentioned a federal license to regulate the sales of firearms, please consider the following.

While the feds arguably have the constitutional authority (1.8.3) to regulate INTERsate sales of arms, and regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted every body to believe about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.

”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 [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

So I question the constitutional authority of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for example, to police intrastate commerce concerning such things. After all, although the feds did have the express constitutional authority to regulate intrastate commerce related to the sale of alcoholic beverages after the 18th Amendment was ratified, the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment, the feds once again having no constitutional authority to regulate any aspect of intrastate commerce imo.

In fact, as a side note to intrastate firearms sales, consider intrastate sales of alcoholic beverages and tobacco. Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had also clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate agricultural production.

”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. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Again, I question the fed’s constitutional authority to regulate intrastate commerce dealing with guns as it relates to this thread.

Lincoln bought them a country long ago in Africa. Lot of ex slaves went there. Maybe our African-Americans ought to head over that way, if they will let them in.

This site and others often contain stories and links to incredibly unpatriotic and racist words and actions by the younger minority generation. They have clearly been brainwashed.

The future is not bright, so dispense with the shades.
