It seems that a couple of men infiltrated the San Francisco anti-war protest carrying a couple of signs. "Communism has only killed 100,000,000 people - Give It Another Chance!" This one is, of course, quite relevent given the various recruiting tables that were set up by the WWP and other pro-Communist orgs at the rally/march. It wasn't too popular, apparently, especially with Communists. "Protect Islamic Property Rights - Stop The War" This sign had a picture of a woman wearing a burkha, tied to a post like livestock. This one wasn't popular, either. So there's a way to march with one's enemies, while making a clear position/point. Consider my hypothetical (may it always remain so) pro-RKBA march, run by the American Nazi Party. I have a vision... The Nazi scum march along, with the usual garbage signs and banners. Saving the best for last, at the end of the march we have some 200 men, marching 10 wide (with spacing that fills a street) and 20 deep. They wear the black clothing of the Hasadim (preferably all are Hasidic Jews, but if need be, we can get men willing to dress for the occasion). They have signs, too. Perhaps modeled on the "Burma - Shave" highway signs of years ago, thusly First rank: "Guns Kill" Fifth rank: "Nazi's do, too" Tenth rank: "But Jews With Guns" Fifteenth rank: "Shoot Nazi's Through And Through" Twentieth rank: "RKBA!" And of course, as they march, they need jody calls... "Every Jew should have a gun! Shoot dem Nazi's when they come!" "Nazi-boy break down my door! BOOM! Dead Nazi on the floor!" "SOUND OFF! One, two! SOUND OFF! Three, four! CADENCE CALL! One, two, three, four, one, two, THREE, FOUR!" Ok, ok, ok, I admit I'm lacking in subtlety this morning. ----------------------- end forwarded message from Nosy --------------------- -- RKBA! ***** Blessings On Thee, Oh Israel! ***** 4-19! ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- An _EFFECTIVE_ | Insured | All matter is vibration. | Let he who hath no weapon in every | by COLT; | -- Max Planck | weapon sell his hand = Freedom | DIAL | In the beginning was the | garment and buy a on every side! | 1911-A1. | word. -- The Bible | sword.--Jesus Christ ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- Constitutional Government is dead; LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: roc@xpresso.seaslug.org Subject: 4-19 Date: 19 Apr 2003 17:53:47 -0700 (PDT) Happy Patriot's day. 4/19/1775, Concord and Lexington, The Shot Heard 'Rounnd The World.

Brad GUN LAW UPDATE, 2/27/03 from Alan Korwin, Author Gun Laws Of America THE GUN-FREE-ZONE LIABILITY ACT "If you create a gun-free zone, you're liable for any harm it causes." Good news! Both Arizona and Georgia have put this bill in their legislatures for 2003 (HB2320 in AZ, HB31 in GA). Several other states are considering doing the same. Gun-free zones are known to be dangerous -- the idea that they somehow make you safer is a fraud. They are reckless, negligent, and a denial of civil rights that is long overdue for a closer look. Maybe this bill belongs in your legislature too. You or someone you know should talk to one of your representatives about intro- ducing it, to start the dialog rolling on the dangers of arbitrary, discriminatory gun-free zones. A person who would deny your right or ability to self defense is as violent and wrong as the person who assaults you. Read the bill (it's short) and the talking points on our website. An awful lot of bad bills are planned. It's important to counter- act those with bills as positive as this one. Remember, if you get hurt because they made you leave your gun behind, they should be held responsible. Model language: http://www.gunlaws.com/GFZ/index.htm NOTES ON FEDERAL GUN LAW Federal gun law has grown 6.5% since Oct. 2000, to a new total of 94,333 words. I've boiled out the new federal gun laws tucked away in The Patriot Act, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, and the Homeland Security Act. The latest edition of Gun Laws of America (the 4th) has the whole ball of wax: 5,749 new words of law, in 22 separate sections, from four enacted federal laws. There is a disturbing trend in the new gun laws toward arming "the proper authorities" where you and I can't be armed. The government is essentially authorizing itself to have unrestricted Second Amendment rights while the public by default gets the right to bear arms curtailed. It's quite clever actually. The net result is six, yes six new federal "police forces" (listed below, with other highlights). These are government employees who can pretty much bear arms at all times. Now wouldn't that be a nice right to have! Oh, and despite all the news stories that say otherwise, it's not exactly arm the pilots, it's deputize the pilots, and arm the deputies. It may seem a small difference, but it places control of the pilot in federal hands, allows the feds to "undeputize" someone to remove the ability to be armed, and the idea of having guns in the hands of non-government officials on board -- you, me or pilots -- was unacceptable, hence the current plan. A huge range of issues are identified for arming pilots, including for example: - The type of firearm and ammo to be used - Placement of the gun in the cockpit to ensure both its security and easy retrieval - Firearm retention - Accidental discharge reporting and repercussions - Interaction between air marshals, the pilot, crew and other persons - Pilot selection and training - Storage and transit of guns between flights and when pilots go off site - Notifying security staff when pilots or others are authorized to be armed - Analysis of the risk of catastrophic aircraft failure from gunfire to controls or sensitive areas of the craft (the results are classified) - Guidelines on use of lethal force and, - Naturally, anything else the authorities deem necessary. Pilots with military and law enforcement backgrounds are to get preference in the selection process. Although guns will be provided, pilots may buy their own. Participating pilots are not eligible for compensation from the government for their services as FFDOs. Limited liability is provided for airlines, the pilots and the government, for using or failing to use the guns. Air carriers are prohibited from pressuring or forbidding their pilots from volunteering for the program, firing them for participating, or refusing to let them pilot aircraft. Nothing's easy, eh? Why doesn't the news ever look like this report. Summary of changes in the 4th edition of "Gun Laws of America" 1. Clinton cuts a deal with S&W, Congress outlaws it. (DOD Spending 2001) 2.

I know some of you are real eager, it's just that the project is so huge and I have a lot on my plate. Please be patient. I pour in the hours and it soaks them up like a sponge. But it's going to be worth it when it's finally out, because the Supreme Court has said a ton about guns, and it's remarkably supportive of the routine individual access to arms Americans have and have always exercised. I'll have all the cases, with plain-English gists, and with hundreds of the juiciest quotes highlighted, plus top flight sections from David Kopel and Stephen Halbrook, soon. Real soon.

THE GOA IN TEXAS ALL OVER AGAIN?, By Carl F. Worden (fwd) Date: 27 Apr 2003 21:04:23 -0700 (PDT) ----------------------- begin forwarded message from Carl F. Worden --------------------- Is It The NRA vs. The GOA In Texas All Over Again? By Carl F. Worden Here we go again! This time, the NRA is threatening to pull its support of the most constitutionally aggressive representative we have in Congress, Ron Paul. Why? Because Representative Ron Paul insisted on maintaining state's rights under Article X of the Bill of Rights, by opposing federal legislation to thwart all litigation against firearms makers for simply manufacturing guns that might be used to kill people. Now, most gun owners would rejoice at that legislation, and I thought it was a great idea too, until I was reminded it is just another federal violation of Article X. Talk about mixed feelings!! I have them too, but unless and until we learn to support and defend the Constitution in ALL cases, whether we like them or not, we are just going to continue down the same road of defiling that legally binding document. Representative Paul has proven time and time again that he will not compromise constitutional principle for any reason, and he happens to be the strongest supporter of Second Amendment individual guns rights we have in the Congress. The NRA is engaging in "Situation Ethics", whereby they support the idea that the ends justify the means if it happens to be something the NRA supports. It doesn't matter to the NRA if the legislation is unconstitutional on its face, so long as it gets them where they want to go. Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government the authority to tell a state or a citizen what kind of remedy by litigation they may pursue in state or federal court, and Article X of the Bill of Rights specifically bars the federal government from seizing authority in any area not specifically given the federal government by the Constitution. Any questions? Read it for yourself. Let's take this a step further: If the federal government can pass legislation barring state, city and individual lawsuits against gun manufacturers for manufacturing guns, they can pass legislation barring the same kind of lawsuits against cigarette manufacturers. They can pass similar legislation barring lawsuits against any industry, from pharmaceutical companies to automobile manufacturers. Representative Paul recognized that, and therefore voted his conscience by opposing the legislation, and the NRA had a cow. Gun Owners of America, the second largest gun rights group, strongly supports Representative Paul, regardless of his position on this legislation, because its Director, Larry Pratt, appreciates Representative Paul's uncompromising stance on constitutional ethics, whether it be Second Amendment rights, or Tenth Amendment restrictions. Do any of you happen to remember a dirt-bag by the name of Representative Jack Brooks of Texas? Hmm? Most of us gun owners do. He is the man who sat as House chairman of the Crime Conference Committee in 1994, the committee considering whether to pass the 1994 "Crime Bill" that included the infamous federal Assault Weapon Ban and a restriction on gun magazines holding more than ten rounds. Brooks was also Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Brooks was a Democrat, who usually supported most gun rights legislation, but in this case Jack Brooks allowed the Crime Bill out of his committee to be voted on, and it was subsequently passed into legislation that just happens to come up for renewal under our current president, George W. Bush. Through a spokesman, our darling "pro-gun" Christian president has recently stated his support for renewing the federal Assault Weapon Ban if and when it glides across his desk. If I'm right, GW will be a one-term president just like his father for that transgression. Remember, "Read my lips."? Anyway, we would not have the federal Assault Weapon Ban were it not for turncoat Representative Jack Brooks. And by the way, it turns out our Miss Brooks took a virtual bribe: The crime bill included ten million dollars to Lamar University, which coincidentally, was in Jack Brook's district. What a shock. Brooks had been in continuous office a total of 42 years, but his luck was about to change. As a result of Brook's betrayal, a Republican challenger by the name of Steve Stockman decided to run against Brooks. Gun Owners of America staunchly backed Stockman against Brooks. Stockman was aggressively pro-Second Amendment, and asked the support of the NRA as well. Incredibly, the NRA placed its support behind Jack Brooks. Here was a man who had almost single handedly allowed the federal Assault Weapon Ban to pass into law, yet the NRA backed Brooks for no other reason than the usually pro-gun Brooks had a better chance of winning! I swear I'm not making this up. As it turned out, Steve Stockman defeated the 42-year incumbent for his seat in 1994, and to those of us who remember it well, the NRA had egg all over its face. 1994 turned out to be the year the Democrats lost their power in Congress, and former President Bill Clinton admitted that the passage of the federal Assault Weapon Ban was the sole reason. I haven't been a member of the NRA ever since the Jack Brooks debacle. When that shameful act played out, I completely lost confidence in the management of the NRA and lent my full support to Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). It looks like the NRA is about to make the same stupid mistake all over again. It is perpetually wrong and foolhardy to believe the ends justify the means, and only the most immoral subscribe to situation ethics. Perhaps this will be a most well deserved nail in the NRA's coffin. Assuming the average member is as outraged as me, it will probably result in yet another substantial loss of NRA members. Do they take lessons to garner this high level of stupidity, or what? ----------------------- end forwarded message from Carl F.

The bill is numbered H.R. 990 and is titled the 'Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2003.'" The bill's chief sponsor is Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN). What this pro-Second Amendment bill does is reciprocate state Carry Concealed Weapons (CCW) permits in much the same way that driver's licenses are reciprocated state to state. In other words, a person who has a Concealed Carry permit in one state would be legally allowed to carry his concealed weapon in other states. (Feel free to look up the actual wording of the bill at http://thomas.loc.gov/) One could argue that it shouldn't even be necessary to obtain a permit to carry a firearm, as this freedom is duly recognized by the U.S. Constitution as an unalienable, God-given right. However, the only state in the Union that recognizes this right by allowing its citizens to carry firearms without a license is Vermont. This is one reason why Vermont has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. However, as long as obtaining CCW permits is the only manner in which law-abiding citizens may legally carry concealed weapons, it only makes sense that they be allowed to freely carry weapons when visiting states outside their residence. In fact, out-of-state visitors are often primary targets of criminals, because they know most visitors will be unarmed in compliance with those state laws restricting such carry. Therefore, this law will doubtless save the lives of countless law-abiding people. ACTION ITEM: Currently, the bill has 22 co-sponsors. Along with Chuck Baldwin, we want to encourage our members to contact their representative and encourage him or her to become a co-sponsor of this important bill. The freedom to possess and carry a firearm is consistent with the Second Amendment and should never be denied by law. Go to the site below to contact your House member today, and encourage them to support H. R. 990. And while we're at it, we'll copy President Bush on your message. Let's see if he'll get behind this bill: http://www.conservativealerts.com/042903.htm AOL GO HERE NOTE: Please forward this message to everyone you know who believes our legislators should stand firm in support of the Constitution, including the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
