“Governments that try enforcement, anyway, will be stuck in a pattern of escalating brutality and declining legitimacy.”
This is how armies of revolution rise and grow strong.
Well, I have the desire to see those who would make a slave out of me or deprive me of my Constitutional rights killed by me or fellow patriots, so I can almost see a parallel, but not quite.
Well I certainly trust that they deleted every one of those background checks, don't you? </s>
Once you have applied for a background check you have, for all intents and purposes, registered your gun.
Jimmy Carter claimed it elected Reagan, I am sure it helped.
Maybe they should just watch Barky and the boys as they demonstrate how.
Even under Bush 43, the NIC check data was being bogarted and squirreled away by the FBI and ATF, in defiance of Congress and the black-letter laws they had made that forbade disposing of the data.
Presumably this activity had Mr. Bush's acquiescence. Gentlemen, you see, agree that the helots should not be armed, in a well-ordered society, such as the New World Order, in which everyone knows his place.
Jimmy Carter didn't busy himself with the necessary organizational preparations to steal elections.
'Tis so. These agencies seem not to care what "legitimacy" means.
Ive read a piece that said that the 55 mph speed limit was one of the main reasons for disregard of all laws - people just didnt see it as anything but arbitrary and unnecessary, and therefore raised questions about other laws of the same era.
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."
- Ayn Rand, 1957 -
Ayatollah Khomeini elected Ronald Reagan.
...the bottom line is that the state must try to enforce the law. Authorities should use the background check database as a way to find assault weapon purchasers who might not have registered those guns in compliance with the new law.
A Class D felony calls for a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Even much lesser penalties or probation would mar a heretofore clean record and could adversely affect, say, the ability to have a pistol permit.
If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences.
This is where jury nullification comes in. Every jury should either return a not guilty verdict or be hung by those who will not vote "guilty".
Apparently the libs in Connecticut never understood the concept that obeying laws is voluntary. If the laws are unconstitutional, then ignoring the law is the only option.
The White House spits on the laws daily. Nobody should expect others to exhibit behavior better than the President.
Well, Jimmuh Carter placed Khomeini in power, so I guess he had a hand in it.
It would be wrong to underestimate how much effect the Double Nickle speed limit had on the election. Federal Department of Education was a big issue as well, but even with both houses Reagan could not undo it. Even something as evil as the National Endowment of the Arts still lives.

Thanks to Noot Gingrich kaboshing the GOP effort to scuttle it, along with PBS too.
It’s been the RINOs doing the damage every time.
You don’t find many creeps in shooting ranges. Perhaps you meant shooting galleries (drugs) or peep shows, which some people confuse with galleries.
No, I meant government gun law enforcers showing up at shooting ranges to check if the guns are registered.
Think Lexington Green.
Yup. Unfortunately, from what I've seen there are unionized SWAT types just dumb enough to try it. Body armor and automatic weapons change a lot, not to mention the "us versus them" attitude being inculcated in "public servants."
The cops I know are on our side. Maybe those cops are different.
The guys who took down Patricia Koine were California Highway Patrol officers.
