The “commerce clause”. The products move in interstate commerce, the few that haven’t all too easily can, and misuse thereof has significant impact on other interstate commerce. Ergo, the whole category falls under federal jurisdiction, whereby all interstate movement, or potential thereof, is regulated via FFLs.
That’s the reasoning. Don’t confuse my explaining it with me agreeing with it.
Official government propaganda used the “anonymous source” alleging child abuse and the MSM ate it up.
The fact was, there were many people not incriminated who were intimidated by the jack booted thugs, and decided they had a right to stand their ground and were summarily executed by the government. Although the official government take was the fires were set from within and not by the incendiary explosives used by the government. And the MSM ate that line up too.
Fact is.......the government will manufacture “official propaganda” to release to the press if and when they come down on individuals or groups exercising their Constitutional Right in the opposition of government tyranny.
And the MSM will eat it up. And the propaganda will further intimidate people who might otherwise resist tyranny.
For there to be any questions about the resistance being within the law, it will take the assembly of thousands of people en masse to overcome government propaganda.
There’s that little problem of Posse Commitatus. Not that they’d let that stop them if they thought they could get away with it.
IIRC, Reno got around that in Waco by claiming that it was a drug enforcement situation.
Exactly. Laws mean nothing to them. “The end justifies the means.”
would happen if thousands of armed citizens showed up in Tennessee to support the state and oppose the feds?
How do you say Tiananmen Square?
Now we're coming to the meat of the matter. During WWII, at one concentration camp (I don't recall which one), a number of the Jews being held prisoner inside rushed the fence to try to break out. They knew that there were more of them than there were Germans and SOMEONE would have to be able to escape.
So, they rushed the fence and many of them were killed by their German guards, but more than 300 were able to escape. The fact is this: When our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for the cause of freedom, they knew that they might lose everything, but that having a free country would be worth it. When the Jews at that concentration camp rushed the fence, they knew that some of them would be killed, but the cause of freedom would be worth it for those who escaped. When the young man in Tienanmen Square stood in front of the tank, he knew that they might run over and kill him, but the cause of freedom was worth it. At what point, then, is restoring America's freedom from this usurper worth potentially losing your life so that America can, once again, be a free nation??
When I fought my war for America, I fought to free others, not Americans. I wasn't necessarily ready to lose my life for that cause, but I was going to do my job, no matter what it took. I find this battle one worth fighting and, if necessary, dying for. I grew up in a free America and I didn't put my life on the line so that we could come to this, and so did the majority of men and women I served with. America's freedom and America's future are at stake.
You asked me how I say Tienanmen Square in your response. Let me throw one back at you - can you say Kent State??
I posted that to slap the face of the Commie/Socialist/Fascist/ dems/rino’s that think they can strip American’s of our Constitution Rights. Apparently this resolution is considered moot by the denisons lurking in our Government.
