"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789) "No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." (Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution, 1 T. Jefferson Papers, 334,[C.J.Boyd, Ed., 1950]) "What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." (Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment [ I Annals of Congress at 750 {August 17, 1789}]) "...to disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." (George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380) "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (James Madison, The Federalist Papers #46 at 243-244) "the ultimate authority ... resides in the people alone," (James Madison, author of the Bill of Rights, in Federalist Paper #46.) "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States" (Noah Webster in `An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution', 1787, a pamphlet aimed at swaying Pennsylvania toward ratification, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at 56(New York, 1888)) - Hap Smith USMC (ret) Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:21:49 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200812152996/culture-wars/ammo-ban-and-registration-proposal-getting-fresh-look.html#comment-855 A fully informed jury. *All* juries have the legal power to judge not just the evidence given in trial, but the law itself. Ms. VanBeber is correct. We need to win this fight, and enough of the ones waiting in the wings to secure not just our individual rights, but our individual and collective freedom. Right: Any human action practiced over historical time which is recognized by society as good and proper. In any direct conflict with the law, the Right wins; given no wrong doing which society recognizes as wrong. Wrong doing is the same as a simile: you can tie anything to anything else with the words "like" or "as". The control crowd (not just guns) have in the past, are now, and will in the future demonize most if not just about all independent individual action. To the extent that we can, all cases brought before the courts need to be examined not just on the basis of law, but also whether the law itself is wrong. - Harry Rossman Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:09:38 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200812152996/culture-wars/ammo-ban-and-registration-proposal-getting-fresh-look.html#comment-850 These idiots never stop do they. If this becomes law I will not give up my ammo, and I will not submit to any of this. I guess we'll have to stop gun and ammo banners the way they pretend that they want to solve crime, one - bullet - at - a - time. - Jaaaaaaaack Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:48:45 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200812152996/culture-wars/ammo-ban-and-registration-proposal-getting-fresh-look.html#comment-845 We need to win this fight. These anti-gun people are ruthless. - Barbara VanBeber Mon, 15 Dec 2008 05:27:49 +0100
