Hmm, I wonder if, under the law of unintended consequences, this has contributed to what appears to be an increase in the number of kids left in vehicles to cook while the parent goes into a store for some "short" errand. It's such a bother to unattach the kids from the vehicle and then reattach them a few minutes latter, some might rationalise that the kids will be OK for "just a few minutes". The increased incidence, or at least reporting, of child snatchings means that the kiddies must be locked into the vehicle with the windows up, at best merely cracked. That situtation will of course addle their little brains in less than "a few minutes" as temperature in the vehicle will reach into upper 100s, approaching 200 degrees in very short order. Even putting a screen over the windshield will only help a bit. You'd need screens on all the windows, and even that would only extend time to reach parbroil. Or so it is down here on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country. I should know, I left my sunglasses on the seat yesterday while attending a very small gun show, thinking they were in the shade, which they were when I went in, but an hour later they were not. I think I've got little burn scars on over my cheekbones, to remind me not to mess with Texas sun, or Mother Nature or old Sol or whatever. :) The Second Amendment is the RESET button of the United States Constitution. --Doug McKay" Joe Sylvester Don't Tread On Me !

Sent: 8/24/20 08:23 PM From: Skypod (Melissa), skypod@keepandbeararms.com Bob Stewart's Gun Rights Seem to Have Been Retroactively Restored. https://www.keepandbeararms.com/newsarchives/XcNewsPlus.asp?cmd=view&articl eid=1890 Date: 8/22/2001 6:36:00 AM Written By: Angel Shamaya - -- Arizona gun kit maker Bob Stewart just received some fascinating news. On the day before the federal anti-Second-Amendment trial against him was to begin, his civil rights, including his gun rights, were restored by a federal judge. According to a two-page federal ORDER signed by Arizona Magistrate Lindsay Ellis of the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County, on August 20, 2001, "IT IS ORDERED that the civil rights of applicant Robert D. Stewart aka Robert W. Stewart, be restored, including the restoration of his right to possess firearms." Considering the fact that BATF's prosecuting attorneys have been seeking prosecution on "felon in possession of firearms" charges, the above is quite relevant. But far more intriguing is the fact that the ORDER by the federal judge is backdated to August of 1998. Specifically, "IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that these rights be restored nunc pro tunc: (http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/n083.htm) "Nunc pro tunc" literally means "now for then." Translated, a "nunc pro tunc" order by the court is to be treated as if it were ordered on the date ORDERED -- in this case, August 17, 1998. Could it be that the BATF's prosecution isn't prosecuting a "prior felon in possession" anymore? If you would like to read the actual court ORDER, do so by clicking these links: PAGE 1, https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/images/BobRestoregif1.gif PAGE 2. https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/images/BobRestoregif2.gif WHY THIS IS RELEVANT BATF agents originally invaded Mr. Stewart's home and pointed a machinegun at one of his young boys because they said the gun kit he was selling was "readily converted." And though they have no official definition of what that term means, they used it to justify stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of personal property, confiscating his customer list of approximately 3,000 names/addresses, etc., and basically ruining this good man's life. BUT, when they knew their forceful method of inventing a definition of the term "readily converted" was a LOSER, they decided to prosecute Mr. Stewart for being a felon in possession of firearms they allegedly found in his home during their violent invasion. But his restoration of rights is dated long before the BATF conducted their "raid" on his home and family. See above documents. His rights have been restored, officially dated back to August of 1998 -- and the BATF machinegunners assaulted Mr. Stewart and his family much later than that date -- in June of 2000. Get the picture? So now what are these BATF folks going to do in their bid to put Mr. Stewart in jail for a very long time? According to the BATF -- who has been caught lying in the past -- Mr. Stewart was also allegedly in possession of unregistered machineguns. One reasonable guess is that they'll proceed with prosecution over an alleged violation of the unconstitutional ban on "unregistered" machinegun possession. If they do that, we'd have a case worthy of going all the way to the Supreme Court, where the ban on "unregistered" machineguns can be rightly challenged as a violation of the Second Amendment. There are of course other possibilities; well-funded gungrabbers usually have something up their sleeve. 1. Prosecutors may (probably will) say that the restoration of Mr. Stewart's rights being backdated is only a clerical issue and that he was still, for all intents and purposes, a "felon in possession of firearms." 2.One Arizona gun rights activist suggested on Tuesday that the BATF "claims to reserve the right to pass on whether your 'gun rights' have been restored", suggesting that they'd deny Stewart's restoration in order to fricassee him. (That would be a very, very bad move considering the fact that the BATF's annual budget is $760 Million but they claim to "not have funding" to restore gun rights -- and for many other reasons. There would also appear, in my unlawyerly opinion, to be a conflict of interest in their being able to deny something they allegedly have the power to grant when to do so would serve only their purposes.) 3.Another activist suggested that the restoration was politically motivated in order to give the BATF an out. We shall see soon enough. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Naturally, Mr. Stewart filed a MOTION TO DISMISS in court on the day when his trial proceedings were due to begin, Tuesday, August 21, 2001. Judge Roslyn O. Silver -- who has refused ALL of Mr. Stewart's motions thus far - -- has given federal prosecutor Welty until September 5th to respond to Mr. Stewart's MOTION TO DISMISS. Mr. Stewart will then be given FIVE DAYS to respond to the "MOTION TO LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY" we expect from Welty. (REPEAT: BATF has a $760 Million annual budget and has been given 14 days to respond. Once they do, Mr. Stewart, who is now working another job to replace the income stolen from him by BATF, gets only 5 days -- and Stewart is defending himself.) To my knowledge, a new trial date has not yet been set. When a date is set or any new information comes in, you will hear about it on KeepAndBearArms.com. And we will post each page of what Mr. Welty has to say the very day it is delivered to Mr. Stewart. CALLING FOR HELP FROM ATTORNEYS I have personally been called names like "stupid" and "foolish" and "ridiculous" for supporting Bob Stewart throughout his ordeal -- even by "pro RKBA" attorneys -- because "you look bad if you support a prior felon in possession." (I'll save for another day my commentary about the fact that Mr. Stewart was a non-violent "felon" who claims he was lied to by BATF agents to, in his admitted ignorance, plead guilty the first time he was assaulted by federal agents.) But that isn't the way it is now; we've cured his cooties for you -- and I would appreciate a few Real American attorneys stepping forward as soon as we receive the response from BATF's prosecutor. Expect to see that on or shortly after the 5th of September. If you are a pro-RKBA attorney willing to take a look at the BATF's response as soon as it comes in, please email me directly at Director@KeepAndBearArms.com with a subject of KABA PRO GUN ATTORNEY.

But there's another insidious side to the law. That's the institution of "civil infractions" to replace some misdemeanors - or to effectively criminalize things that should not be crimes in the first place.

Funny thing was, the guy was properly licensed. Unfortunately, he had several pre and post samples of each gun (like 25 MP5's,30 UZI's, etc). In any case, he was arrested, charged and tried. First trial; hung jury. Second trial; hung jury. The feds decided to try a 3rd time so he filed lawsuit for malicious prosecution AND WON. Guess what, they tried him a 3rd time anyway. Result, another hung jury. Is it possible that the ATF was gunning for this guy. Probably. The ATF spin doctors are already hard at work calling this guy a "sniper". The fact of the matter is that when an arrest warrant is executed, it's not standard practice to have the ATF as backup. They wanted to burn this guy out and use the fire as an excuse for the "destroyed evidence". This was a government sponsored retaliatory assasination. He didn't start the fire, the tear gas did. Those are the facts. Cut out the middlemen. Send your donation to: Boys Scouts of America National HQ 1329 Walnut Hill Ln.

From: WILLIAM JUD To: prc-digest@freedom.org Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 12:36 AM Subject: SOCIALISTS IN CONGRESS William Jud 3 September 2001 SOCIALISTS IN CONGRESS When you think you are strong enough that your opposition can't harm you, you can be brazen enough to go public. Democratic Socialists of America now list their Congressional members on their website. "Socialism" is (1) a political system in which production and distribution of goods are controlled by 'the people' according to 'equity and fairness' rather than market principles, (2) a Socialist political movement, typically advocating the end to private property ownership and exploitation of workers, (3) a Marxist system in which pay and benefits are distributed according to 'need' rather than according to work done, (4) the intermediate Proletarian Revolution phase as society changes from Capitalism to Communism. Socialism's endgame is Communism. Communism is the opposite of our Republican form of national government. Communism requires abandoning Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of individual citizens for the "common good" of collective society. The Communist Manifesto demands the following: (1) end of private property ownership, (2) progressive and heavy taxation, (3) end of inheritance rights, (4) government confiscation of property of emigrants and rebels, (5) a national central bank, (6) government control of transportation and communication, (7) government ownership of factories and agriculture, (8) government control of labor, (9) corporate mega-farms to replace family farms, (10) regional planning, (11) government control of education. If you think America is abandoning it's Constitution and slouching into Socialism, consider yourself perceptive. According to the Democratic Socialists of America internet website -- http://bernie.house.gov/pc/ -- and the Socialist elected officials members list on the Progressive Caucus website -- http://bernie.house.gov/pc/members.asp -- America now has 58 elected Congressional Representatives in the US House of Representatives who are members of the Democratic Socialists of America. They help create our national policies and laws. Article 6 of our US Constitution says, in part, ". . . The Senators and Representatives before mentioned (in Article 6), and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution . . . " Elected officials who support the goals of Socialism do not and can not support the US Constitution. Those are mutually exclusive philosophies of government. Congressional Socialists violate their Oath Of Office, fraudulently continue serving in office, and are prime candidates for prosecution for treason. Socialists in Congress tend to support legislation such as HR-701, the Conservation And Reinvestment Act (CARA) which would spend US Treasury funds to condemn and force buyout of rural citizens' land and to relocate rural folks to giant hive cities where they can be more easily controlled and managed through dependency on government. Congressional Socialists tend to support massive land-grabs such as The Wildlands Project designed to return 80% of the United States to pre-Columbian wilderness. Congressional Socialists tend to support massive tax increases, massive government spending, restrictive regulations, unlimited immigration, taxing workers to reward drone citizens, federal control of education, and supporting and expanding international control of America through the United Nations.
