Expressive Opposition

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Social Disobedience

Firearms First has a quality 2nd Amendment story on the battle over conceal carry rights in the Midwest United States. The heartland of the U.S. is often referred to as very conservative, yet midwestern firearms rights are stifled, far more restrictive than the liberal east coast state of Vermont. By large it is the Democratic party of Nebraska, Kansas, and Wisconsin working against recent conceal carry legislation being introduced in those states. However, a few bad Republicans, such as Nebraska legislator Marian Price, are also fighting against the restoration of this constitutional right to state residents. Make no mistake about it, conceal carry is a right granted by the U.S. Constitution. Any constitutional originalist and Libertarian knows that a state restricting this right is directly violating the Constitution of the United States.

As you may already know, the “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act” has already passed the Senate and now waits for Congress to move on it. However, did you know that Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy tried to debunk the bill by adding ludicrous gun control amendments leveraging police safety as reasoning? Furthermore, Senator Kennedy was humiliated when Law Enforcement opposed his amendments! Will this slap-in-the-face wake up the senile senator or is it just one of many times he has been caught in dishonest legislation manipulation motivated by warped ideology?

Firearms Manufacturers faced with blame for every firearms related injury have now been further injured by the Supreme Court. Again, the Washington D.C. law, which allows firearms manufacturers to be held liable for every gun injury, threatens domestic business and American freedom. Twelve states had urged the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a gun possession case involving a District of Columbia law and the Supreme Court let us all down.

IANSA, the International Action Network on Small Arms, has a manifesto simply titled “Ownership.” Outlined in it is a plan for U.N. control resulting in United States citizens losing nearly all of our current 2nd-amendment rights. Rebecca Peters, head of the IANSA, publicly stated her intention of seeing all firearms banned in the United States except for small single shot rifles for hunting. Her advice to collectors and competitive shooters, “Take up another sport.”

Has the Firearms bearing geek movement been thwarted by some klown? That’s not a typo, as the individual responsible for defacing the web site “Geeks With Guns” has proudly identified himself as “klown.” Without any further messages, it looks more like a script-kiddie PHP Nuke exploit rather than a political statement, and so we learn that a .44 mag may best defend the home, but sound security practices and a hardened system best defend your Internet property.

By any other name, New Orleans is now a police state under martial law. Citizens can kiss the constitution good-bye in any emergency, unless they are wealthy. The New York Times reports that the firearms confiscation doesn’t apply to “security guards hired by businesses and some wealthy individuals.” To date, citizens have been held against their will at the Superdome, citizens have been forcefully removed from their homes, and legal firearms owners are forced to forfeit their property, and the only exemption to all of these constitutional crimes by the U.S. government applies to the wealthy upper class citizens of New Orleans.

Bitter Anti-Second Amendment Politicians like Senator Ed Kennedy have enjoyed damages to the firearms industry by frivolous lawsuits driving them out of business in the United States, only to open the market to foreign manufacturers such as Beretta of Italy. This necessary bill will rightfully shield firearms manufacturers from lawsuits brought by victims of gun crimes, redirecting punishment back where it belongs, the criminal perpetrators.
