Six months ago, I posted a blog here called, Gunfight at the Credo Corral. In it, I described our Second Amendment right to bear arms as both fundamental and inalienable, meaning that the government is powerless to take that right away from us, and we cant even give it away.
Of course, this has never stood in the way of a determined government. After all, a right possessed by the individual is a power denied to the state. Therefore, we must jealously guard our rights from attack by the very people we hire to protect them -- our politicians.
For example, some U.S. senators view gun control as an excuse to combat terrorism. Its even been suggested that Operation Fast and Furious, which was engineered by our own government, will itself provide an excuse for gun control. Four months ago, the National Rifle Association warned its members that the Obama administration is planning to propose new gun control legislation.
But while our attention has been focused on our own lawmakers, a gang outside our borders is preparing to do battle with our Second Amendment rights. The name of that gang is ...

That artwork is a direct assault on the Constitution of the United States. It is an abomination.
“...they intend to use force against you...”
Which automatically de-legitimizes them, provides an immediate threat vector AND a target, and removes any reason whatsoever why any AMERICAN should entertain any notion of compliance.
F*** ‘em.
“Resist We Much” as Reverend Al Sharpton said...(had to do it...I couldn’t help myself).
We’re Americans, this ain’t Europe, and we will NOT comply.
Molon labe.
“...but it will be expected that law enforcement at all levels enforce this law, including the cop down the street...”
Then you already know where he lives.
The words “Choose this day whom you will serve...” come to mind. If Officer Friendly makes his choice against you, his own people, well...he makes his own bed then.
“...America is bound to abide by treaties it signs,
unless folks think we shouldnt... “
Not when it comes to abrogating my rights as an AMERICAN Citizen. I don’t give a rat’s ass what some Bulgarian or Ghanian puke thinks about my right to own a firearm...nor do I care what Banki Moon, or Kofi Anon or whatever other totally replaceable, completely interchangeable Marxist douchebag du jour is running the show over there thinks.
And any one of OUR politicians who signs us on to ANY treaty that infringes on our rights should be immediately arrested, and publically hanged as a traitor.
We have people that swore an oath to uphold, protect, and defend the US Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic.
This is an example of BOTH types of enemies, right here amongst us.
Pretty much sums it up for me.
Only a constitutional amendment can remove a right.
Just as a law which presumes powers not granted to the government by the Constitution is invalid, so is a treaty that exceeds their authority. They can't give away in your stead something of yours they don't own.
Wrong. Your rights do not exist because someone wrote them on a scrap of parchment.
The government is constantly trying and in some cases succeeding in eroding away our rights.
OC is pre-emption legal in the commonwealth of ky...on the person or in a vehichle, which includes the glove box...
What does that mean, exactly?
If you are really concerned about it, just go ahead and carry. The operative word being concealed. I won't tell if you don't. Remember, 'tis better to be judged by twelve then carried by six.
I assume that your former state of residence does not have reciprocity with Kentucky.

that doesnt however, mean that there aint a rouge dumbass cop that might challenge ya...just not likely if ya act like ya got some sense...
Thanks for the clarification. Seriously.
welcome to a semi-FRee state...
At least the snow banks help clear the Fudd's off the range for me...
Be well. Be prepared.
Not if they are unconstitutional.
unless folks think we shouldnt... ?
Unlike Mr Jefferson, I lack a decent respect for the opinions of mankind. I'm in favor of dissing international law just to be disrespectful.
To all UN members and to all UN supporters: Come and get it, you UN morons. Freedom freaks you...doesn’t it?
Your method would put you on the right side of issues more often than not.
We haven't fortgotten our oath.
