TEMPUS FUGIT by Lawrence Lee
Rowe Only $20, hardcover
Summary:
Washington, Jefferson and Franklin find
themselves inexplicably transported to the future, and explore the
country they launched two centuries earlier. A fascinating examination
of the Founders’ original values and hopes, contrasted beautifully
with
where we are today. Deeply insightful, amazing confrontations, a true
masterpiece.
What would happen if those three Founders suddenly
materialized in the modern world? What would they think? Had their plan
for a new nation built on liberty succeeded? Incredibly well researched
(he tastefully uses some of their letters to create the current dialog!),
you get a deep sense of each Founder’s style, as they discover what
America has become in 225 years...
The three suddenly find themselves in a forest, a dangerous
place in Colonial times, where savages could attack at any moment. What
were Washington’s first words? “I’m unarmed.”
Jefferson responds, “Me
too.” Tempus Fugit ("Time
Flies")
WARNING: This book deals frankly with the racism of
slave-owning colonial America, and “the N word” is used
accurately in
context, which, though artfully done, may be offensive to some readers.
But that niggling detail might only bother naggers. Get

"Prohibited Person" is now "Prohibited Household"
New
wrinkle in rights-denial
The lamestream media told
you: The lamestream media told you:
Nothing, except we want to
get as many people into the background-check system as possible, to make
everyone safer. 90% of the public supports this. (92%, according to a
democrat's party mailer with Mr. Obama's name on it:)

Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes
however that:
First, let me repeat: 90% of the public doesn't
support much of anything, especially gun stuff, so that number, like
most "news" numbers these days, especially from advocates, politicians or
government (unelected apparatchiks) is totally bogus (John Lott dissected
their ludicrous math). Even so, try this "thought experiment" opinion poll:
"The bill proposed for universal background-checks will create a government
list of everyone in America who owns firearms, and makes a criminal out of
anyone whose list of guns is inaccurate or incomplete. Do you support
this?" Still 92% in favor? Not. I described the actual bill in plain
English last year: https://www.gunlaws.com/Page9Folder100up/PageNine-122.htm
--
An
insightful analysis of background checks, by Page Nine reader Bryan Potratz
in Wyoming, and reviewed by the Uninvited Ombudsman and gun-rights attorney
Dave Hardy, has received little attention before now. It makes it clear
that if a Prohibited Possessor lives anywhere, no one else who lives there
can have free access to firearms or ammunition. This has gone basically
unreported, even though it is in effect.
If you can't prove that
your security measures are satisfactory -- to BATFE's unwritten
standards -- YOU become a felon for providing contraband to a
prohibited person. Even if they never touch anything.
Even a
single round of ammo out in the open would put the prohibited person in
violation of 'proximity to guns or ammo' (a red-tape concoction that is a
looonng stretch from the law as passed, which talks about "possession").
This is the same standard they use for drug busts, technically called
"constructive possession," enabling them to arrest everyone in a house
where drugs are found (or planted). Courts have backed up this method
completely.
The government, as it always does, takes the most
restrictive view it can take: If freedom is at stake, drive a stake through
freedom, even if it's just a little. Mere presence in the same home meets
their definition of possession, and creates the violation.
"If freedom is at stake, drive a stake
through freedom." --government SOP
The real
downside is that this now creates Prohibited Households -- entire
private homes where you cannot have a readily available gun for
emergencies, or even for cleaning or showing to friends. Everyone in the
house is (technically) disarmed by the presence of one person on the NICS
Index.
The anti-rights people probably don't mind a bit -- it's
like a four-for-one sale on gun bans for an average-size family. And it's
unlikely the antis actually worked this out ahead of time. It is a boost
though for the forces of darkness, because for every person they can get on
that NICS Index, that's a multiplier for people they've disarmed. Five
people in NICS, figure 10 to 20 or more denied their rights at
home.
Bryan goes on to predict that the NICS Index (the prohibited
persons list) could be cross-referenced with hunting license, CCW, FOID or
similar databases, to identify addresses where violations might be
occurring. This sort of cross-checking is routine police work. He also
suggests, "BATFE will be able to claim that such correlations are de-facto
probable cause for a warrant to check for/arrest a 'prohibited person in
possession of firearms or ammunition.' " He continues, quite
rationally, that, "We know how subtle BATFE can be when prosecuting such
warrants."
This threat to the right to keep and bear arms has not
hit the radar of any of the national gun-rights groups, at least not
publicly. But millions of people nationwide are suffering under it right
now. ACTION ITEM: The
concept of "constructive possession" regarding firearms is an affront to
freedom and The
American Way, https://www.gunlaws.com/TheAmericanWay.htm
and should be abandoned in favor of actual physical possession with
deliberate mens rea (criminal intent). Prohibited Households is a
miscarriage of justice, and anyone attempting to prosecute such a case
should be brought up on charges themselves, in an overdue application of 18
USC §241 et. seq. (denial of civil rights under color of law, look it
up).

2- "High Capacity" Magazines Are
Insufficient
The lamestream media told you: The
lamestream media told you:
We have to do everything we can to ban
high-capacity magazines. Nobody needs these things and they have no place
in our society, as we have said hundreds of times already, with no luck so
far.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The
Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
First of all, ownership of
property is not based on need. That's the communist
model.
No one is in charge of deciding what you need, or has
legitimate power to tell you what you can or can't have in that sense. In
this country, ownership of property is based on individual choice
and ability to pay. You don't need 10 pairs of shoes, and no one is
in a position to say otherwise (well, commies can, "to each according to
his need").
The real question, if reporters were worth anything
these days, isn't why does anyone need these, it's why would anyone
want these. The entire "news" media can't answer that or even raise
it when it comes up, yet tens of millions of people want and have them. The
answer is simple: "For the same reason the police
do."
--
The "news" media is actually referring to "normal
capacity magazines," a term you should start using, "the same as police
use." Changing your language helps deflate their assault on your rights.
Normal or regular capacity magazines, the same as police
use.
Experts are now marketing magazine carrying cases capable of
holding multiple full-sized magazines neatly, because having only a few is
insufficient when facing today's criminals and other miscreants (or
tyrants, as we observe overseas).
"Leave it to the free market to
come up with an appropriate solution," said one tactical expert who refused
to be named for this report. "Running out of ammo is not an option when
you're life is on the line, and you face criminals who do not obey
'infringed-size' magazine laws passed by idiots in legislatures." Experts
want as many rounds of ammo to protect them as possible -- and in the hands
of their armed forces, the police and the public at large.
What
many people still don't realize is that police are second
responders, another term you should start using, to upset the lie
newscasters pound daily. The true first responders -- the crime victims
targeted by criminals and terrorists, i.e., YOU -- must have at least equal
means as the police. You face identical threats. It's just that you face
them first.
____________________________
Typical product (this one
marketed in American Cop magazine), offers easy transport and access
of sufficient ammunition, pre-loaded into normal magazines, for ready use
in an emergency. Police are professionals in self defense and the fight
against crime, understand the need for (choose one:)
full/normal/regular/factory/standard-capacity magazines. They sneer at
ignorant legislative attempts to infringe on the public's right to have
such crucial equipment, denying the public adequate
protection.

THE
MENTAL CASE AGAINST GUNS 3-
Autism Next To Ban Gun Rights?
The lamestream media
told you: The lamestream media told you:
NEW
YORK (AP) -- "The government's estimate of autism has moved up again to 1
in 68 U.S. children, a 30 percent increase in two years. But health
officials say the new number may not mean autism is more common. Much of
the increase is believed to be from a cultural and medical shift, with
doctors diagnosing autism more frequently, especially in children with
milder problems.
"The cause of autism is still not known. Without
any blood test or other medical tests for autism, diagnosis is not an exact
science. It's identified by making judgments about a child's
behavior (emphasis added).
"The new CDC report focused on
8-year-olds because most autism is diagnosed by that age. The researchers
checked health and school records to see which children met the criteria
for autism, even if they hadn't been formally diagnosed. Then, the
researchers calculated how common autism was in each place and
overall.
"The CDC started using this method in 2007 when it came
up with an estimate of 1 in 150 children. Two years later, it went to 1 in
110. In 2012, it went to 1 in 88. Experts aren't surprised by the
growing numbers, and some say all it reflects is that doctors, teachers
and parents are increasingly likely to say a child with learning and
behavior problems is autistic." (!)
"'We cannot say what portion
is from better diagnosis and improved understanding versus if there's a
real change,' said Coleen Boyle, the CDC official overseeing research into
children's developmental disabilities." [Note: Her "improved understanding"
includes no known cause, no test for occurrence, and known racial and
sexual bias in diagnosis.]
"For decades, autism meant kids with
severe language, intellectual and social impairments and unusual,
repetitious behaviors. But the definition has gradually expanded and now
includes milder, related conditions."
The Uninvited
Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however
that:
As the Obama administration forges ahead with plans to
ban the right to keep and bear arms based on poorly defined, fuzzy-logic
mental-health "measurements" and "findings," the CDC has announced
radically growing numbers of children now diagnosed with a potentially
disabling condition. The "officials" admit they do not understand, cannot
measure, lack a diagnostic test for, and cannot cure the condition, and
they actually admit is growing because they simply declare more people to
have it.
Criteria for measuring the condition whose definition
keeps changing, which is diagnosed based on judgment calls by doctors, have
been relaxed from severe abnormalities to mild childhood behaviors,
according to "scientific" reports just released.
According to the
AP report: "In the latest study, almost half of autistic kids had average
or above average IQs. That's up from a third a decade ago and can be taken
as an indication that the autism label is more commonly given to
higher-functioning children, CDC officials acknowledged."
Racist
and sexist prejudices have been acknowledged by the experts as well, and
drive this field of "medicine," as noted in their report: "Autism and
related disorders continue to be diagnosed far more often in boys than
girls, and in whites than blacks or Hispanics. The racial and ethnic
differences probably reflects white communities' greater focus on looking
for autism and white parents' access to doctors, because there's no
biological reason to believe whites get autism more than other people, CDC
officials said at a press briefing Thursday."
With the practice of
medicine proceeding this far from anything remotely scientific, and when
even supposedly pro-gun-rights groups are pressing hard for
mental-health bans on the right to keep and bear arms, serious
gun-rights advocates are predictably worried.
"The idea that
so-called experts constantly evolve this condition, change their standards,
use judgment to declare a person guilty of the disease that has no known
cause, and that the end result could be denial of your fundamental rights
-- who wouldn't be terrified of government-run 'medicine' like that?" said
one observer, who wishes to remain anonymous, for fear of being diagnosed
as paranoid. (See separate story about widespread cultural paranoia setting
in. Are Your Crazy? Denial is a symptom that you are...)
The
American Academy of Pediatrics, a known anti-gun-rights advocacy group,
issued a statement, saying the nation needs to step up screening for the
condition and research into autism's causes. Experts say a diagnosis can
now be made at age two or even earlier, though the CDC report says most
kids are identified by age four. The AP report points out that: Autism
support groups and advocates stand to benefit from increased diagnoses, as
more patients equals more funding.
In
related news:
"All vets are mentally ill in some
way and government should prevent them from owning firearms." Widely
web-circulated and attributed to Calif. Senate democrat Dianne Feinstein,
she never said this in so many words.
Her actual statement
however, in the Senate Judiciary Committee (3/7/13) implied as much, and
she called for careful scrutiny of veterans and their ability to keep and
bear arms. She has not yet suggested the same for all gun owners or the
public at large, for reasons that were unknown at press
time.
Speaking about access to so-called "assault weapons," a
boogey man she has been fighting for decades, and soldiers who have PTSD or
might develop it and cannot all be identified, she said we must, "find a
way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally
don't have access to this kind of weapon." http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/feinstein.asp
And
in still other news, Gun Owners of America has already reported that
somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 veterans have been added to the NICS
Index, the federal list that voids the Second Amendment for anyone on
it.
[Senator Tom Coburn was given a figure by the Congressional
Research Service that was around 140,000 in 2007. He shared it with
GOA, see it here: http://www.gunowners.org/pdf/Coburnletter.pdf
]; Gun Owners of America has
extrapolated from the 140,000 figure -- given that CRS said that 1,000
names were being added every month. GOA is a group that deserves your
direct support: https://gunowners.org.
These
vets, men and women, were diagnosed, or treated, or committed, or were
given drugs for PTSD. Exact details and numbers have been withheld by the
government. The massive rights-denial scheme involved no trials, no
representation, no appeals, and no luck, just a flat-out ban on the right
to keep and bear arms, for former soldiers, for "mental" reasons. Normally,
the VA appoints guardians and declares that the vets are unable to handle
their own affairs. This then fulfills their twisted definition of
prohibiting individuals who’ve been “adjudicated as a mental
defective,” according to GOA.
I asked if these tens of
thousands of people whose rights have been stripped away get notice. "After
the Veterans Disarmament Act, perfunctory notice is required, but we would
be surprised if any veterans got a hearing before the appointment of a
guardian. Rather, veterans have a very short time-frame to hire a
lawyer and psychiatrist -- and contest the appointment at their own expense
(normally, it’s around $10,000 or more)."
To be clear:
Everyone in the pro-gun-rights movement supports keeping guns out of the
hands of truly crazy people. How you define and exclusively identify such
people, what rights they retain and can have restored, and how to protect
the innocent are legitimate concerns that many experts say are not
receiving significant attention. That's putting it too nicely. These rights
are about to be trampled.
How to prevent government (and others)
from using crazy people as an excuse in the evident ongoing effort to
shrink or eradicate the right of the people to keep and bear arms, is a
legitimate concern and a high priority.
Operatives working within
government to fabricate so-called "mental health" as a means toward
infringing upon rights or disarming the public, even incrementally, should
be brought up on charges and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
18 USC §241 et seq. Denial of civil rights under color of law is a
felony.

4- The 111th U.S. Supreme Court Gun
Case Rosemond v. United States, 134 S.Ct. 1240
(2014)
There are three more SCOTUS gun-related cases that have not
been addressed in Page Nine or by Bloomfield Press (my publishing company)
yet.
Salinas v. Texas, No. 12-246, 6/17/13 U.S. v. Castleman,
No. 12-1371 3/26/14 Abramski v. United States No. 12-1493 (not decided
yet)
I'll get to them soon, I promise. In the meanwhile, check
out the first 92 decisions in my award-winning book: Supreme Court
Gun Caseshttps://www.gunlaws.com/supreme.htm, written
with lawyer-experts David Kopel and Stephen Halbrook. See the entire
list of cases on that
page. If you know of one we missed, speak up.
The
lamestream media told you: The lamestream media told you:
When
it comes to Supreme Court cases, the "news" descriptions, and what the
decision actually says and means are usually night and day. Read the
decisions, they are your law, fascinating in most cases. Sickening in how
different they are from what the media tells you. The media largely ignored
this gun-related case.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes
however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however
that:
Rosemond concerns whether a prison sentence should be
increased because someone during the commission of a drug sale (one pound
of pot) fired a gun. Legally speaking, it's about aiding and abetting a
crime, and the difference between taking actions, wanting to (known as
mens rea, a guilty mind), and foreknowledge of events.
It's
an exciting story, with a drug deal, theft of the goods, seven shots from a
9mm with no hits, no gun found, witness stories all over the place, and
many facts never established. Having, brandishing or
firing a gun during certain drug crimes increases the sentence (5, 7
and 10 years). It was never determined who exactly fired the gun, but the
government sought the added charge and jail time because a gun was
used.
Almost half of all federal prisoners are in for drug
charges, and 30% of federal dockets are drug cases. This is big business
for the "criminal justice" system and all the people who earn their livings
there -- cops, special agents, bail bondsmen, law clerks, lawyers, court
staffs, jailers, judges, stenographers, reporters, it's a long list. (They
really do have a reverse incentive against seeing this sort of crime
disappear, it would cost them their jobs.)
What's important to
recognize in this case is that the government argued, in essence, that
anyone involved in a crime is guilty of all aspects of the crime, no matter
who committed them or what you thought. This is extremely dangerous for the
public, because it means if you have even remote connection to some illegal
act, the government's inclination is to presume you are guilty of the worst
part of whatever took place.
That may have some value in dealing
with gangs who, as the government pointed out, often act in concert to
achieve some criminal end. But it is a terrible precedent for the innocent.
Any wrong-minded youth (or adult) who gets mixed up (or suckered into)
something, would end up as guilty as the people who are really bad actors,
if the authorities have their way. The potential for abuse is too great to
allow on those grounds alone. Like RICO forfeiture, they could condemn
everything in sight, lock everything up, just for the bad acts of a lone
individual.
Now, the Supreme Court shut down this line of thinking
7 to 2, in a decision written by Elana Kagan. This time. But the fact that
your government, here to help you, is thinking this way, is a very bad
sign.
Guns made it into a footnote denial: [8] "We did not deal in
these cases, nor do we here, with defendants who incidentally facilitate a
criminal venture rather than actively participate in it. A hypothetical
case is the owner of a gun store who sells a firearm to a criminal, knowing
but not caring how the gun will be used. We express no view about what sort
of facts, if any, would suffice to show that such a third party has the
intent necessary to be convicted of aiding and abetting." (But they thought
enough about it to write that disclaimer. Hmmm.)

19 for those with military service, has cleared the Consent calendar and
the Majority and Minority caucuses, allowing it to bypass a COW
hearing. It will soon be scheduled for a Senate Third Read
vote.
HB 2338, the AzCDL-requested bill that adds to the
definition of Aggravated Assault the illegal taking, or attempted taking,
of a legally possessed (i.e., your) firearm, passed out of the Senate Rules
Committee on April 9, and will soon be scheduled for a Senate COW
hearing.
SB 1063, the AzCDL-requested bill that would make
“no firearms” signs on public buildings unenforceable unless
the statutory weapons storage requirements are followed, needs to pass out
of the House Rules Committee before it can proceed to a House COW
hearing.
SB 1366, which clarifies the definition of a firearm,
also need to pass out of the House Rules Committee before it can proceed to
a House COW hearing.
As bills progress AzCDL keeps you informed
via direct alerts. Watch for the "Action Alerts" on bills needing
your help using the Legislative Action Center.
Don’t
forget! Every AzCDL member who sends the emails generated from the
Legislative Action Center will be entered into the raffles for Brownells
gift certificates.
These alerts are a project of the Arizona
Citizens Defense League, an all-volunteer, non-profit, non-partisan
grassroots organization.
We have
it! The new 50-state Traveler's Guide for 2014!
Shipping now,
order yours today! Still only $13.95 (+S&H). Thirty states have
changes to their laws, it's all in there! Massive California
changes are on our website, use the Updates button on our home page https://www.gunlaws.com
New hotel rules; Guns-in-vehicles laws changed;
"Inadvertent Display Law"; School Marshal program explained; New
knife laws; BB and air-gun laws; Preemption and school grounds; "Reveal
and relinquish your gun" law; "Defensive Display" law; CHL training has
been overhauled...
If you have this book without the
flag colors and red emblem on the cover you're out-of
date.
Texas DPS is no longer approving training materials, and
they no longer provide the type of support they did when the CHL
program started.
The list of laws they give out is PARTIAL -- this
book has them all (and describes them). Can't get your calls and
emails answered at HQ? This book answers your questions. The few bucks
you spend here is cheaper (and better!) than a lawyer later.
In
spots the DPS website is out of date -- this book is 100%
current.

Some highlights,
details (and statutes) included in the 8th
edition:
--Mandatory carry-license training has been
reduced from 10-15 hours to 4-6 hours. Widely publicized by the
"news" media. Your need-to-know hasn't dropped, just the government
mandate.
--Renewals are now a paperwork and taxing process that
can be concluded online, with no new testing required.
Savvy instructors will start promoting training instead of waiting for
expired-license students to show up. Some instructors think this means
the end of their business, and for some that may be true. For others,
business will increase, as training becomes demand driven instead
of government mandated. In Arizona, this demographic and market shift
led to new ranges and new training companies opening, catering to
newcomers, plus advanced tactical and refresher classes. The ease of
renewals led to more original signups.
--Instructors no longer go
to the DPS range for testing, they now test each other at a range of their
own choosing.
--The risk CHLs used to face for having a gun
momentarily show through concealment has been reduced, not
eliminated.
--The guarantees of the Motorist Protection Act have
been extended somewhat to colleges and universities. It is a step toward
Constitutional Carry -- true freedom to carry, without requiring
government-issued permission slips.
--The preemption law got some
teeth, and BB and air guns are now defined and included.
--Hotels
that want to ban your civil right to arms must give you notice or face
(minor) criminal penalties.
--A
program to provide armed guards in schools ("School Marshals") is
underway, though it will be a while before it is robust. Not exactly
part of the CHL program, DPS wants other dept. to run it, must have CHL
to apply, psych test and a lot more to it. See the book for
details.
--The
abusive policy of destroying firearms in police custody has ended.
Those guns must now be sold, the money used to fight
crime.
--The
artificial "SA" and "NSA" distinction between semi-autos and
non-semi-autos has been discarded. Minimum caliber for the shooting test
remains .32, but any qualification allows you to carry any legal
firearm, and qualify once in a lifetime (for now).
--Using your
social security number for identification in the CHL program is now banned.
But forms still have it included.
--Many
other smaller changes have also been made. Many are noted in the update
summaries at GunLaws.com, linked below. Without the book itself though
you get a disjointed view. Get the book. Play it safe.

"I've heard you
on Armed American Radio many times -- always enjoy your commentary and
insight, and wanted to sign up to read your Page Nine reports regularly."
[I only wish I could get them out more frequently -- I have a large backlog
of important stories and news, but a hundred other things competing for my
time. You have no idea how long it takes me to get one of these ready.
Alan.]
"I just recently started listening to Armed American
Radio, and I heard you as a guest there this past week. That's what
prompted me to go to your website and sign up."
"I read your column
in American Handgunner magazine and wanted more."
"I was listening to
the latest podcast of Armed American Radio that you were a guest on and I
was interested in what you had to say about what is going on with our 2nd
Amendment rights. I am always looking to stay informed on what is going on
and found your web site and blog a good source of info."
"Hi Alan, I
heard about you and your work from the Armed American Radio broadcast from
last week. Thank you for all you do!"
"I changed my email address and
didn't want to miss Page 9. It's such a great read. I also listen to you on
Armed American Radio. I love your stuff. You're so much fun to listen
to. Keep up the good work."
"I listen to Armed American Radio !!!
Love the show and all that you guys do, decided it was about time I
followed the links you mention in shows. I am a certified NRA Instructor at
and participate in the IDPA at our local conservation/sportsmans club,
member of the USCCA and believer that if every American was a responsibly
armed citizen our great nation would be a better place. Keep up the good
work !!"
"I heard about, and heard you on Armed American Radio with
Mark. I recently obtained my CCW here in Ohio and want to learn as much as
I can about my rights, my freedoms, and the stupidity of my government
trying to take those away. Hope that helps."
"Thank you for what you
are doing. And THANKS for helping keep gun owners safe. I live in SE
Alabama, so not much worry here. Too many of us ole farm boys. But it
could change over night."
"Your site is extremely helpful for what
I'm doing and making it easier to develop communications pieces for the
various groups I will be engaging - friend and foe alike. In a word, your
site is helpful."
"Heard you on the radio last evening speaking about
gun laws and what not. Very interesting. I like what you were
saying and like to keep informed by somebody other than the normal
media. Generally don't listen to radio much late at night but I had
to make late evening trip to my veterinarian and found you on a station I
think out of Iowa. I live in Wyoming. Haven't had much time to look
at the site or read much yet but what I did see, I really think is
good."
"I found you on Armed American Radio. I thoroughly enjoy
listening to the "Alan Korwin Experience" whenever you're on. I was
prompted to join because it's now or never - I will no longer be a
spectator on the sidelines for these issues, and I figure you're one of the
best sources of education out there. Keep up the great
work!"
