Of course, there's the hideously embarrassing and increasingly evident truth that the gang calling itself the Republican Party and the gang calling itself the Democratic Party are simply branches of the same grasping, voracious, cannibalistic, and insatiable pack of thieves and murderers I call the Boot On Your Neck Party. They always have been. The Bushies have now rammed through many of the violations of your constitutional rights that Waco Willie wasn't able to succeed with. Next time around, his gang will do the same favor for Bush's gang.

Unless there isn't any next time around. Unless we can stop them all by refusing to vote for a single lousy incumbent. But, then, I digress.

ComeAndTakeIt.com - When Is It Time to Start Shooting? - a sane, rational, essay about restoring liberty to America. Shoot only in defense from deadly force or to prevent theft of your weapons. I.e. practice the Non-Agression Principle because it's practical: those who initiate force have few supporters. [trt-ny]

Understand the principles over which we struggle. It sounds ridiculously basic, but I don't see that most people involved in the struggle have an understanding of what's at stake, and what's right, and what's wrong.

I consider the Bible, and the Constitution (and associated documents) the two foundations of this country, and the foundations of liberty. Without both, we will have no liberty.

Foundational concepts include: God grants rights, and government's role is to secure those rights, including the rights to private property. The Constitution enumerates certain rights, including the right to keep and bear arms. The federal government is granted about 20 enumerated--specifically listed--powers, and may do nothing other than those listed powers, which means 90% of what the federal government does is unconstitutional, that is, illegal. Furthermore, (if I understand correctly) the Constitution states that judges must enforce the Constitution, even in states and local governments, meaning that the states also may not infringe on rights enumerated in the Constitution, especially since God has granted those rights. Families, primarily the fathers, are to provide housing and sustenance for their families. Parents are to raise, train, educate, and otherwise equip their children (not government schools or day care centers or self-appointed village idiots). Nobody is supposed to steal, including the government, which it does when it takes money from those who earned it and gives/lends it to those who didn't earn it (Social Security, unemployment, farm loans/grants, welfare, AFDC, Pell grants, small business loans, Medicaid, Medicare, job training, public works projects, etc, etc, etc!!). The people are supposed to be moral (no adultery, bearing of false witness, homosexuality, murder, etc).

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
