DrugSense AMMA via Cannabis News - Libertarians To Honor Peter McWilliams: Tonight, Ann McCormick will accept the Champion of Liberty Award from the National Libertarian Party Convention for Peter McWilliams. Includes Mrs. McCormick's acceptance speech [cn]

When will it end? Not until each and every one of us JUST SAYS NO to this unbridled abuse of power, waste of precious resources and unspeakable crimes against the American People and the United States Constitution.

{pictureRef ({@Legalize}, align:"right")} Serendipity - Prohibition: The So-Called War on Drugs: I pointed at this on Friday. Read it last night. Incredible stuff! This does NOT feel like it was made up.

The Drug War exists primarily to support -- financially and otherwise -- the maintenance of the criminal status of the possession of (some) drugs so that those (including legislators) who profit big -- directly or indirectly -- from the supply of prohibited drugs can continue to do so, at the expense of everyone else.

From Serendipity's CIA page, "the webpage Yahoo refuses to list":

From the days of the Vietnam War the CIA has been at the forefront of heroin trafficking. When the Reagan administration needed to finance its war against Nicaragua the CIA applied what it had learned in Vietnam to importing vast quantities of cocaine from Latin America, selling it to the Mafia, and using the profits to finance its "covert activities", activities so contrary to America's professed values that they must be concealed at all costs from the American people.

Gluckspilz at crystalmeth.amphetamine.com - Your Guide to Amphetamine Manufacture: Information on the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999, and instructions on making crystal meth. I used crystal meth a couple of times in 1979. The stuff I got was a brown powder, crystals about the size of table salt, that stung the nose when snorted. A real clean alertness that lasted about 4 hours. Made marijuana and alcohol look like little pieces of dust off to the side of consciousness. Coming down was no fun. Remember kids, there are no old speed freaks.

This web site exists for the sole purpose of protesting Bill S.1428. This bill attempts to make certain types of information ILLEGAL!

Robert A. Waters at Sierra Times - Another Thug Done Gone: The story of a University of North Carolina-Charlotte student killing a serial rapist with a handgun. Why are Charles Schumer and Komrade Klinton and the Million Moms so eager for other women like her to be helpless in such situations?

Why are anti-gunners so quick to try to deflect the subject of armed self-defense?
Because they know the issue is a loser for them. If Americans knew the number of lives that are saved by guns, they would overwhelmingly reject the arguments of the gun-banners.

Steven of Mumble Daily is back from scout camp. He's got the story of what happenned to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. I've seen it many times, but it's a good time to read it again. [mumble]

AP via Capitol Hill Blue - Clinton Signs Campaign Legislation: I mentioned this a little while ago. Now it is law. Not that the feds have any business making this law. Another chink taken out of the first amendment. [wnd]

History

Quotes

Government doesn't work. Never did. Never will. Can't. But there are lots of good people. Love them.

-- Bill St. Clair

The Atlanta Declaration

Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.

-- L. Neil Smith

Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

-- L. Neil Smith

A Penalty Clause for the Bill of Rights

Any official, appointed or elected, at any level of government, who attempts, through legislative act or other means, to nullify, evade, or avoid the provisions of the first ten amendments to this Constitution, or of the Thirteenth Amendment, shall be summarily removed from office, and, upon conviction, deprived of all pay and benefits including pension, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

-- L. Neil Smith

Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents.

-- John Lott, commenting on the National Academy of Sciences report on gun control laws.

Who is a libertarian?

Zero Aggression Principle ("Zap")

"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim."

-- L. Neil Smith

(Formerly called the "Non-Aggression Principle", or "NAP")

Why Did It Have to be... Guns?

Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

-- L. Neil Smith

Concise

"Tell me," I was once asked, "What do you think about gun control? Give me the short answer." To which I replied, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you."

-- Mike Vanderboegh

Also from The Atlanta Declaration:

... like going to the bathroom, breathing, eating, sleeping, or making love, it turns out that self-defense is a bodily function one cannot safely or effectively delegate to a second party.

-- L. Neil Smith

This does not mean that "Marijuana should be available by prescription." It means that morphine sulfate should be available in five pound bags at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, like sugar... but probably in a different aisle, to avoid confusion.

-- Vin Suprynowicz

If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law.

-- Edward Abbey

The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn't wrong if it's called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn't wrong if it's called arrest, that mass murder isn't wrong if it's called war.

-- Bill St. Clair
