Thanks to everyone at ASU (GRU) for today’s Second Amendment Forum.  I ended up serving as a backup presenter of sorts and fielded many questions during the Q&A session.  As is my way, I got a little long-winded and once was reminded to speed it up.  The panel and the whole presentation was fantastic.  The older, incorrect interpretations of the 2A were presented, by and large, as such.  The final direct presentation was by Prof. Peter Flanagan on the modern, individual rights interpretation. 

Prof. Hubert van Tuyll presented the “collective rights” argument though his position seemed to incorporate the individual right into the militia aspect correctly.  He did a great job explaining the immediate history of the 2A after the Revolutionary War until 1791.  Prof. William Reese discussed the Miller case of 1939 in vivid detail.  He also made the best point of the day – the Second Amendment is primarily purposed for ousting the federal government if necessary.  I would have loved to have taken that statement and run with it but I’d still be going on right now.

My contribution, if we can call it that, regarded: state and federal laws; militias in all 50 states (especially Georgia) and the fact of the people being the militia; the difference between the militia and the national guard; and the satanic origins of our federal gun laws – I called them out as racist and Nazi.

Several students made excellent opening remarks and the Q&A session featured numerous intelligent questions from other students.  I did detect an air of confusion concerning many of the above topics and the nature of firearms ownership in general.  This was by no means caused by bias or ignorance on the part of these very engaged students (the room was packed, btw – around 100 or so in attendance).  Rather, I think some of these young people were surprised to hear, for once, the truth about guns, law, freedom, and history in America.  I suspect that for most of their adult lives they have been fed a steady diet of misinformation by the media, politicians, and the education establishment (though obviously not at ASU). 

This has given me the idea to expand upon my Second Amendment and related columns, perhaps by doing a series which breaks down small parts of information bit by bit.  I can systematically position the columns in a way that hopefully will provide clarity on the subjects covered today and others not touched on.  I think the first article will deal with the Natural Law rights of defense and self-integrity.  I will then move on to ancient history, English History, the early American experience and work my way forward to the present.

Yesterday I published The People Appreciate a Benevolent Dictator, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/the-people-appreciate-a-benevolent-dictator/, which recounts my personal experience with the hideous forces of government and eminent domain actions.  It’s both sad and funny and it’s a true story.  Give it a read, if you haven’t.

I have received go-ahead for a new ad, which will either make an appearance tonight or, more likely, tomorrow.  It is an introduction to an awesome modern opportunity for thinking people.  Check back soon!

The news:

Back to guns: Head Senate Slug, Harry Reid, is saying Dianne Feinstink’s “assault weapons” ban will not be part of the UnConstitutional gun control legislation which goes to the Senate floor.  I hope nothing is passed into law; we have too many restrictions on gun ownership right now – they need repealing.  I have heard dark rumors of behind the scenes compromises which may allow for easier passage of some seemingly minor, “common sense” “reforms” such as “universal background checks.”  Sorry for all the “” but there is so much BS here I have to contain it somehow. 

I won’t say what I’ve heard but it seems designed to lure some ticks into voting for the bill in a way that would still allow them to falsely proclaim their support for gun rights.  This is a typical Washington tactic used to slowly, incrementally introduce harsh laws over time.  Don’t think for a second Feinstink and her ilk will give up their quest to disarm the people.  They hate people, especially armed people.  Write your Senate Congresscritters and tell them to vote against any and all gun bills unless someone brings an action to abolish an existing law.

In other gun news, Rep. Leonard Lance of New Jersey has requested SS Secretary Janet “Himmler” Napolitano explain why her brown-shirted thugs are purchasing over 1.5 BILLION rounds of ammunition – enough to fight an Iraq-style war for twenty years.  Don’t expect an honest answer from the Reichsfuhrer.  Instead, allow me to answer the obvious.  Like their German predecessors, the Amerikan SS is tasked with keeping order over the sheeple and brutally punishing dissent and nonconformity.  They are purchasing the ammunition and 2,700 tanks in preparation for war against you.  It’s that simple. 

(DHS uniform.  Google.)

Don’t forget that Little Barry said in 2008 he wanted a domestic army as powerful as the regular army.  Now he almost has it.  When Herr Feinstink finally succeeds in banning your guns, the domestic army will make sure you turn them over – or kill you.  When the craven thieves of D.C. come for your money as the EU and Cyprus are now, this army will make sure you don’t protest too much.  When the time for boxcars and concentration camps comes, look for all those bullets to provide motivation to participate.  When writing your Congresscritters, suggest that Ron Paul was wise to call for the dissolution of the SS, tell them to do it before it’s too late.  Wake up, America!

The liars in Washington and Tel Aviv now say Bashar Assad is using chemical weapons against the people of Syria.  I bet these are similar to the non-existent WMDs allegedly possessed by Saddam Husein.  This may give the Empire its excuse to start yet another foreign war.  Don’t fall for this crap again.  Even if Assad had and used such weapons, heinous crimes for sure, what business is it of the United States?  I haven’t heard about the Syrian army using gas in Alabama or Massachusetts, have you?  It’s time to mind our own business!

It’s also time to contemplate sleep.  Good night!
