BOOKMARKED!!!
I wonder where I was on this date?
To try and disarm honest Americans will be more like herding cats..........can’t be done.
Thanks for the read Oakie !
Stay safe !
Read a book titled Don’t Tread On Me. If the ballot box and the soap box (talk radio & Internet in today’s terms) don’t suffice, the cartridge box will be resorted to most likely by individuals.
Read the book for a detailed view of the difficulty of protecting public officials from a deer hunter, let alone a varmint hunter. And the damage that could be done with a bench rest rifle is even more troubling to those charged with protecting officialdom
My guess is that given what happened to the “Shamnesty Bill”, Americans can continue to plink at cans, not ‘commies-in-congress’. Apologies to Paul Shaknlin, whose “Werewolves In Congress” song was the derivation.

“The United States exists, in part, because other governments acknowledge that it exists.”
The United States exists, in part, because other governments were forced by United States military force, to acknowledge that it exists.
There, fixed it.
A treaty is a paper statement defining agreement(s) between nations, but the underlying reality is that treaties are ultimately based upon military force or the ability to use military force in relation to the treaty.
This may be heresy: I do agree that the political and legal developments of the past several decades constitute a Greek tragedy in slow motion. Tyranny is in the wings - at the hands of those who, ironically, think of themselves as the most tolerant and liberal of intellects.
However, the government, worrisome and unconstitutional as it is, may be only a partial culprit and instrument of repression.
Consider the Sheeple. The history of the ‘White Rose’ resistance to Nazi Germany is instructive. Many, many, many were willing to be Block Wardens, say Sieg Heil! with Hitler, etc.
BLOAT. And never, never, never, never register your guns.
Agree.........on all counts !
From you, it's an honor.
Not quite. European governments were willing to acknowledge that the British had been expunged but were unwilling to loan money to a non-entity like the United States under the Articles of Confederation. "The United States" to which I was referring is a legal entity capable of being responsible for a contract. As I understand it, the French in particular, demanded that the US be constituted with a central government before loaning a dime for a bridge loan after the Revolutionary War. I've been looking for an authoritative history on the topic, but so far I've been disappointed.
So let me just say I'm glad you're back.
I missed ya’ll as well.........just no good gun porn elsewhere.........:o)
Hope yer well, place is different , for the better, since the culling of the RINO’s........I am off for the night !!
Stay safe !!!
There has been no treaty that has been thrown out for unconstitutionality.
Tigers... not just cats. You might get some of them to heed the whip, but others will bite your head off...
Agree, I’d hate to be the door kicker on that collection detail......
Profoundly correct. So much of our legislation and litigation has generated a vast ocean of bad precedents and "settled law," which smell just awful!!!
What saddens me most is that the treaty that got you started on this line of investigative effort is almost exactly as old as I am. All these years I was raised to believe this nation's founding was inspired by God as an exceptional nation based on immutable principles.
Now I REALLY see why "eternal vigilance is the price of freedom!!!"
I just went back and re-read this thread because somehow I missed your ping this past summer. What a beautiful piece of work!!!
>Lest we forget, the Battle of Lexington-Concord was over Gun Control.
Really? I didn’t know that...
For an analysis of the emancipation Proclamation, read Walter Williams column in World Net Daily this week.

Reading something like this makes you start to believe it's not that far-fetched.
