GUN OWNERS: FIGHTING SKIRMISHES WON'T WIN THE WAR

"The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpation of power by rulers. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally ... enable the people to resist and triumph over them." Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, p. 3:746-7, 1833

How many billions of words have been written about our individual right to own and bear arms? Ten thousand plus are in the links section below; my CD also has a huge section on this unalienable right given to us from the blood of patriots. The Internet has thousands of pages devoted to the Second Amendment and its twenty-seven words: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

How many court cases have been fought over the past fifty years to stop "reasonable" gun laws passed which restrict our individual right to own and bear arms? Law libraries are filled to the ceiling just on Second Amendment cases alone. DC v Heller is the latest with the Bush Administration submitting a brief that should stun any gun owner who voted for Bush:

Public 'threatened' by private-firearms ownership
Government argues gun restrictions 'permitted by the 2nd Amendment'

"Since "unrestricted" private ownership of guns clearly threatens the public safety, the 2nd Amendment can be interpreted to allow a variety of gun restrictions, according to the Bush administration. The argument was delivered by U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in the ongoing arguments over the legality of a District of Columbia ban on handguns in homes, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. Clement suggested that gun rights are limited and subject to "reasonable regulation" and said all federal limits on guns should be upheld."

Clement is a fool and a tool of tyrants.

In the past ten days, we've had a string of shootings on school campuses, the latest being one more legally drugged American. Another "gun free" zone, the meaning of which Dr. Edwin Vieira has crystallized in his scholarly columns and why they contribute to these massacres.

Old timers like yours truly have been aware of the Department of State Publication 7277 for decades. The communist UN (United Nations), a privately run operation that has never kept peace anywhere in the world, has been unabashed in their efforts to get your guns. Banks and retailers over the years have attempted to curtail the legal commerce of guns. Here's the most recent: Citibank Refusing to Process Firearms Related Transactions: "Charlie Crawford, president of CDNN Sports Inc., explained: "We were contacted recently by First Data/Citi Merchant Services by a June Rivera-Mantilla stating that we were terminated and funds were being seized for selling firearms in a non-face-to-face transaction. Although perfectly legal, we were also informed that no transactions would be processed in the future, even for non-firearms."

If you really believe in your God-given right to own and bear arms, stop doing any business with Citibank and tell them why. If you continue to do business with your enemy, you enrich them financially and validate their corporate positions, i.e., denying a legal business the right to conduct its operations. How many more "alerts" are you going to read and then just go back to whatever you were doing? Reading educates, but its action that will save this republic. And, by the way, how many gun owners are going to vote for Marxist Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? No one can question Clinton's hatred of the U.S. Constitution, but how about the newly minted 'Messiah' now causing his cult-like followers to swoon? These are accurate examples of Obama's ignorance regarding the Second Amendment:

Hunting for a position: Obama misses 2nd Amendment
Obama's gun record is just simply atrocious

The "us" vs "them" mentality of law enforcement continues to spread its malignant stench, i.e., "Homegrown Terrorists" David Codrea: ""If you encounter any of the following, call the Joint Terrorism Task Force," read the flyer from the FBI's Phoenix Division. "[T]he purpose of this information sheet is to assist uniformed patrol officers in identifying potential domestic terrorism." So what would a cop on the street look out for? "Defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN (Super Patriots)," read the very first point in the very first category, "Right Wing Extremists."

These detestable vermin in the U.S, Congress who wouldn't know what the U.S. Constitution said if James Madison stood right in front of them and cited it word for word, engaged in more chicanery a few months ago. GOA explains it this way:

"It was December 19. Most Congressmen had left town and were either at the airport or in the air returning home. They weren't in Washington, DC, because their party leadership had told them that all the major votes were over... that the only legislative business left related to non-controversial issues, such as when Congress would return from Christmas break, etc. But it was then, with most of the Congress gone, that the House and Senate passed the Veterans Disarmament Act without a recorded vote."

"What does the bill do in general? It would be a mistake to under-react -- or over-react -- to the passage of the Veterans Disarmament Act. On the bad side, this bill statutorily validates BATF regulations which could potentially disarm millions of Americans. This is a VERY DANGEROUS turn of events which will have huge ramifications over the next several decades. The extent to which its unconstitutional potential will be realized will be clear only over time -- and perhaps a long time -- and will depend on whether pro-gunners or anti-gunners are in power. For example, it took a full thirty years for language in the 1968 Gun Control Act to be used to disarm veterans."

Disarm our veterans? You know, our precious freedom fighters who take an oath to protect this republic and our constitution with the potential of making the ultimate sacrifice: their lives. The same military personnel sent to fight these endless and shameful wars for the bankers and world elitists, not with bows and arrows, but with guns. If Patrick Henry were alive today, he would have taken Rep. Carolyn McCarthy aside and told her to shut her stupid mouth and kicked the crap out of the gutless Chuck Schumer for this junk law. Brassiere Brigade leader, Nancy Pelosi and sissy "leader" Harry Reid, bear a major responsibility for allowing this dung to even come up for a vote. RINOs House Minority "Leader" John Boehner and Senate Minority "Leader" Mitch McConnell should not be left out for violating their oath of office and slapping the faces of our veterans.

Once again, I wonder why the 80 MILLION plus gun owners in this country seem to want to continue fighting skirmishes instead of winning the war? I've asked this question before, only to see my mail box fill up with more dire warnings about a new gun bill and confiscation. Congress and activist judges on the bench have shown their true colors, so don't look to them. You have to fight to stop this constant war over the Second Amendment and that doesn't mean more of the same. If you keep doing the same thing and expect different results, it's called a form of insanity.

Dr. Edwin Vieira has repeatedly crystallized the true meaning of the 'whole' Second Amendment in his scholarly columns on this issue for NWVs. His columns aren't feel good rhetoric, they are very specific about the organized militia and the mandated requirement that we the people must be armed and organized. In his eight part series, "The militia of the several states" guarantee the right to keep and bear arms," Edwin writes:

"Where "gun controllers" cannot prohibit the private possession of firearms altogether by smearing them with bad names, they work to proscribe possession in certain places by playing on the feel good modifier "gun free"--as in "gun-free school", "gun-free airport", "gun-free streets", or simply "gun-free zone". If generalized (which is the "gun controllers'" objective), this tactic would gradually prohibit the private possession of firearms except within one's own home--and probably not allow it even there, given that slogans such as "gun-free home" or "gun-free family" doubtlessly will appeal strongly to those people who pay attention to sounds rather than substance.

"One can hope that even the dullest American will recognize why, in the real world, where actions have consequences and effects follow from causes, any "gun-free zone" is actually a "self-defense prohibited zone" and a "free-fire zone for criminals and psychopaths", advertised and guaranteed as such to the predators under color of law. It amounts to locking the visitors at the zoo inside the cages with hungry lions and tigers, jackals and hyenas, at feeding time. In short, it is politically mandated and imposed victimization of innocent citizens, through public officials' intentional aiding and abetting of criminal activities. (Another egregious case of contemporary politicians' penchant for using the law to break the law.)

"As commonsensical as this insight is, though, it would be unnecessary if many advocates of "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" did not concede that the Second Amendment can or even should be construed without reference to "[a] well regulated Militia", and therefore without reference to the actual history and principles of the pre-constitutional American Militia. For, under all of the pre-constitutional Militia Acts, individuals kept the latest military firearms, ammunition, and accouterments of their day in their own homes, in their private possession, at all times. No public official or "gun-control" group would ever have dared to propose anything as ridiculous as a ban on "assault weapons" or "sniper rifles", when the muskets and rifles the laws required individuals to possess were the premier "assault weapons" and "sniper rifles" of that era. And no Militia Act ever created any "zone" where people who were required to possess arms could not go about armed. To the contrary, in the days of greatest danger Militia Acts specifically designated even such places as town meetings and houses of worship to which individuals were required to bring their firearms in order to provide security for the community[2]--a practice which, if followed in today's governmental schools (the most extensive and indefensible of America's "gun-free zones"), probably could have stopped in their tracks the deplorable shooting rampages of recent years.

"Thus, no free American needs any special reason, excuse, license, or permission to possess firearms or to go armed at home or in most public or private places, because these are not only constitutional rights, but also constitutional duties.[3]"

For years I have been asking gun owners in this country: When will enough be enough? When Edwin's latest, thoroughly researched book on constitutional homeland security came out, I urged every gun owner to get a copy and get in the face of your state lawmakers. True to form (let someone else do it), many men have sent me email over the past year telling me they really can't be part of the organized Militia of the Several States because they don't have time. Good thing Americans like Patrick Henry didn't have the same limp excuse.

In Edwin's latest scholarly work, 'Constitutional Homeland Security: A Call for Americans to Revitalize the Militia of the Several States. Volume I, The Nation in Arms,' he explains this critical issue and gun owners need to read it. They need to act on it because I'm telling you as sure as the sun shines, at some point there will be violence in this country from the militant illegals that are here, locked and loaded. If you think help will come from local law enforcement, remember Katrina. For the ninnies out there who think law enforcement is there to save your bacon, you are dead wrong. The police are under no obligation to respond to your calls for help; the courts have consistently ruled in favor of the police. How about the Sacramento Bee newspaper spread (1997) detailing the use of our military against civilians? Click here and read it. It's coming and the green light was given under a couple pieces of legislation that are so totalitarian in nature, you should be very worried. But, this November, you watch, Republicans will vote the same incumbents back into office who voted for this draconian legislation! Read this column and get off the dime because our survival depends on what we do this year.

Are gun owners going to continue fighting these endless bills coming out of their state legislatures and Congress or will they ban together once and for all and do what has to be done as Edwin outlines in Vol. I of Constitutional Homeland Security? A win in DC v Keller won't stop the gun grabbers. Time is critical. Many state legislatures go out of session in a few months. We are being attacked every day in this country by the powerful forces who own our politicians and do their bidding. The ultimate goal is totalitarian government and that means a completely disarmed populace. The Second Amendment is the most important of all the amendments. Will you step up to the plate and organize your fellow gun owners and start the process of demanding your state lawmakers get the legislation through your state house to revitalize the militia or keep fighting skirmishes?
