Bill of Rights Day Celebration on Dec. 15—
"Committee for the Bill of Rights"

Public Is Eager To Enforce BOR Against our Government

The Bill of Rights was ratified on Dec. 15, 1791.

Outrageous usurpations motivate the public -- and the states -- to push back
Changes to administration do not decrease the need.

Answers are starting to develop

How to hold your own BOR Day event
Read about events in 2006 2007 2008 2009
Read the Bill of Rights

Spend a little time enjoying what makes America great!

Celebrate your rights.

Join people all over the country who will break bread with their neighbors,
and as a group read the Bill of Rights, on the day it was ratified in 1791.

We will read the original Bill of Rights out loud from a parchment copy,
and then jointly discuss its health in roundtable style. Is it working?
Are our rights intact? What are the threats to the precious rights we hold dear?
What are the prospects for the future?

2011 marked the tenth year in a row that Arizonans gathered
to recognize and honor one of the most important concepts ever created.
You will remember this experience for a long time to come.

https://www.gunlaws.com/BOR-CommitteeReport1.htm

I ran events on sheer willpower for many years.
A few people picked up the ball for a while.
Is it your turn?

Coincidence? It's rich.

The "news" media gushed praise when this murderous communist tyrannical dictator final died.
The rest of us remember that the U.S. has wanted to see Castro dead for more than
five decades, and only three weeks after being elected, and not even in office,
D.J. Trump sees the deed done. B.H.O. in contrast expresses respect
in a visit to the murderer's island while he lived. Just timing.

1- Usurpations Mount

Bill of Rights Day a good time to reflect

How much rollback might a new administration bring?

People who argue that all gun laws are infringements are completely off base. Yes, laws that criminalize mere possession of firearms typically usurp power government is not rightfully delegated, and should not rightly have. Possession of private property is not and should not be grounds for arrest. You're supposed to do something harmful before an arrest occurs. That might get fixed, if Constitutional Carry moves forward. https://www.gunlaws.com/ConstitutionalCarryIndex.htm

But a person legitimately arrested can have all weapons removed, the same for people in jail, without infringement. Five-year-olds can't walk into gun stores and buy arms. Use of weapons in commission of crimes increases the crime and its punishment. Arming a vessel of an enemy nation is a criminal act. These laws are legitimate. Review how some gun laws ought to change here (model legislation): https://www.gunlaws.com/ModelLegislation.htm. Do not expect all gun laws to simply go away, even if you believe the new boss is a gun-lobby lackey (he's not). That would be idiotic.

True usurpations, and this is not a complete list, the ones that have our system running out of control, are where government is operating because some folks think it would be good (or seek power), but there is no legitimate delegated authority to act. It's what we used to call a government of limited delegated powers. To the extent the president or Congress or even the courts have not remained within those constraints that usurpation rules our lives. And no one is prepared to shoot the perpetrators for the usurpations, as the Declaration describes.

We go to war without an act of Congress, a complete travesty, total violation of our charter and morality, full abandonment of the Constitution. It empties our treasury, kills our people and others, creates enmity on a global scale, and ignores any semblance of rule of law. The Department of Education has no authorization in the Constitution, along with the Departments of Energy, Environment, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and half the others which have been delegated legislative authority disguised as "rule making." Books have been written about the extent of that debacle.

Appointments to the Supreme Court are made to satisfy ideology -- surely you know that's not right. Oh sure, it's so much better when your side picks the approach, and the other side gets stiffed. You know the other side feels outraged about that -- and that was almost you -- but both sides are wrong on that. To top it off, Congress is supposed to exercise control over it (Art. III, Sec. 1, cl. 2: "...with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make." They have abdicated their power to keep the whole thing in check like they're supposed to.

Do not believe the "news" media when they say the High Court is deadlocked at four to four. That is a decision. It means they decide to let the court below settle the case, and the settlement only applies to a small area of the country -- that Circuit only. The rest of the nation is free from the decision. Not bad, really, federalism at work. There's value in that. An even number of Justices (eight) means that overruling the locals requires a five to three majority (62.5%), a nice break from one-vote policy decisions we've been enduring (55.5%).

Does anyone expect the new boss to do anything differently than the old boss? Chill the euphoria for a few moments and remember where things were before Nov. 8, OK?

Q: What beats a good novel for Christmas?
A: Nothing!

By Force of Patriots

By Cameron Reddy 520 pgs. #BFO $17.95

In a world flipped upside down by liberals and political correctness, all three branches of federal government assert unknown levels of coercive power until fed up Americans rise up to take back their country. More than a tale of oppression and rebellion, it examines how America strayed from its roots, with intriguing, colorful characters who grapple with the social, political and legal issues at the heart of America’s difficulties. Raw, provocative, not for the faint of heart.

2- Illegal Immigrants Come and Go
One interview exposed it, who invented it?
Is it misleading news to suppress this and so much else

Mark Morgan, the U.S. Border Patrol Chief described the "Voluntary Return" program our Border Patrol uses (under Mr. Hussein-Obama, C-SPAN, 12/5/16) to stop illegal immigration from Mexico.

This is designed to handle people who criminally sneak into this country, not at a port of entry with documentation or a visa, but by clandestinely crossing the border in the wilderness.

Voluntary Return means the agents simply put the person back on the other side, into Mexico. Because they make careful digital identification records, agents can find a person attempting to sneak back in four or five times -- in the same day. You read that right. This is the policy currently in place. The person stops trying to sneak in and evade authorities when finally successful, and here. Agents no longer find this person trying to sneak in.

The report included Sen. James Lankford, (R-Okla.) asking, how many times should a Voluntary Return violator be allowed back in? Mr. Morgan replied without hesitation, as you might hope he would, "zero." Mr. Hussein-Obama was not available for comment.

3- It's Not a "Margin of Error"
"News" Media All Knows This
It's just a measure of the sample size

But it sure sounds better to suggest --
there is a measure of accuracy and it's known.

That's a smokescreen.
No, make that, a lie.

Because of the way the science of statistics is done, the size of a sample controls how reliable certain aspects of averaging will be. That's not exactly accurate, but it's close enough for this short description. We're dealing with polls you see in "news" media that pretend to declare their accuracy by stating a margin of error. That's hard core fake news. They don't accept that. They continue unabashed. To unfake it, they would swap in, "This poll had a sample size of 450." But that would serve no purpose. So they stay with the fake.

You can convert the fake into their sample size with this chart, but so what, it gets you nothing. What the poll tells you is 100% dependent on factors they can manipulate to their heart's content to get the result they seek, and you know that -- who they ask, how they ask, when they ask, why they ask. Blatant examples abound. That said, there is a science of polling, and people frequently do want to get a legit handle on what's going on, before it happens, and it can be done with loose certainty. But you already know that a poll run by democrats on abortion will show strong support, and the same poll run by republicans will not.

from their scathing wit, I laughed out loud a lot.
How many cops does it take to throw a guy down the stairs? The guy fell.

AMERICA'S GODLY HERITAGE
by David Barton, ONLY $5.95!

Our gun rights and American exceptionalism are grounded in religious principles. All the messages you get daily to the contrary are basically lies, distortion and revisionism, and this book proves it. Our Founding Fathers said so in no uncertain terms, this inexpensive little item makes it crystal clear. David Barton has done it again -- wall-to-wall quotes and excerpts destroy secular myths about church and state -- the author makes the case, by quoting the Founders, that faith in God is crucial to moral and just life, liberty and happiness.

GUN SAINT
by John Michael Snyder, ONLY $6.95!

The Catholic Church recognizes patron saints over many human activities. Why not a patron saint of handgunners, asks this devoutly religious and long-time gun-rights lobbyist. A stunning conception, beautifully supported.

His candidate is St. Gabriel Possenti, who rescued villagers in Italy from a marauding band of thugs in 1860, by picking off a lizard with a single shot, terrifying the gang and causing them to flee. Possenti was canonized in Rome in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV, and author Snyder says it would be appropriate to make him a patron saint. Includes a remarkably clear description of the church process for such activities, so church members can pursue this goal.

4- How to Manipulate a Poll
Just for fun

Sample question:

1. "If they took all the guns away the world would be a safer place."

A: I guess democrats would say: Yes. No. I don't know.
A: I guess republicans would say: Yes. No. I don't know.
A: I think: Yes. No. I don't know.

2. Does question 1 include the police?

3. In question 1, who is "they" who takes all the guns away?

4. If they take all the guns away, do the Russians and Chinese go along?

5. Can we take away all the guns from the criminals first?

6. T or F: The world was a safer place before guns were invented.

7. T or F: If guns disappeared criminals and dictators would make new ones.

8. T or F: If there were no guns, street gangs would use brutal methods instead.

9. T or F: Since criminals could just take my gun, I could just take theirs.

10. Essay question: The news media keeps me fully informed on this subject.

Extra credit: What the media does provide about guns has no bias: True. False. Can't tell.

Bonus Q: If the government and political forces attempted to ban firearms outright, as the losing presidential candidate seemed predisposed to do, and some politicians have openly advocated for, who would be exempt? Circle as many as you think apply. The Secret Service, Local Police (New York City has 51,000), FBI, CIA, NSA, TSA, BATFE, National Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Supreme Court Police, Dept. of Agriculture Police, Homeland Security Police, EPA Police, NASA, Customs, Border Patrol, ICE, Coast Guard, County Sheriffs, 55 groups specified in federal statutes at last count, Other (specify, use extra paper if needed). Could the country have private investigators, body guards and armored car services, and finally, who would be in charge of banning firearms outright for people already banned, like armed criminals.

Do you like those kinds of questions?

Here's what America was like --
back when America was great.

ETHICS
An Early American Handbook (1890 Reprint!)
By Benjamin Comegys 128 p. #ET $7.95

Who can live up to these simple, decent standards—but they spell out the America you’d like to see our nation get back to! This marvelous little book, a reproduction of the original 1890 text which describes how good people behave, from honesty to industry, duty to playmates to “treatment of dumb animals.” May sound lightweight today, but only if you've been dumbed down: you’ll instantly recognize what America (and you?) have lost and need back. Worth every penny.

5- Tucson Melting Guns. Again

We banned this by law. They're ignoring it.

But this law has teeth, and it's biting.

Tucson is melting down guns it acquires. Again.

Arizona passed law specific banning this wasteful practice, and now state attorney general Mark Brnovich has taken action, required by law (this law has teeth!), to stop Tucson from illegally melting down guns.

State law requires cities to preserve this property, worth millions, instead of the politically correct nonsense happening there. But the case exposes something even deeper than withholding state shared funds, the $170 million penalty Tucson faces, that has one of our local columnists concerned.

If Tucson, regardless of its political structure, somehow has the power to destroy guns it acquires, (it does not have the "right," as the paper incorrectly says repeatedly, more grating to the nerves than hearing democrats constantly call our Republic a democracy), then nothing stops it from destroying cars it impounds -- or anything else.

The city must have an obligation to preserve, protect and defend the assets it acquires. This is public property of enormous value and cannot be wantonly senselessly destroyed. The reason these guns are being municipally melted is a sign of a sickness -- hoplophobia -- and pure gunism, blind hatred, with flagrant disregard for private property and the rule of law. The people who implement these policies need remedial counseling, possibly even penalties. Does destruction of public property come with no repercussions? Who covers the loss?

Can you imagine demanding the destruction of impounded vehicles, because they are more dangerous to life than guns? And they pollute Earth? Do they realize firearms have to move through FBI background checks, they're not "put on the streets" as media likes to help these weird politicians frame it. Cars are on the streets. Melting guns is irrational fear run wild, by politicians barely fit to serve.

FBI background check registrations are insufficient to these people. They begged and pleaded and campaigned for background checks, and now want more, but they're obviously not enough. The smelter is the real issue.

This is the topic Tucson raises -- violation of law by elected officials in pursuit of the same irrational perverse goal their fellow leftists pursue at everyone's dangerous expense. It is an impossible attempt to quench their paranoid fears by suppressing the rights of innocent people everywhere. The notion of guns in the public's hands is simply unacceptable to them. It's not political, it's medical, they're hoplophobic, and a dire threat to freedom. Their unbalanced actions qualify them for removal from setting public policy and destroying valuable public property in the process, in violation of law.

My White Paper on melting guns details the counterproductive nature of these feel-good plans,
and the unintended harm they actually cause, written with a Harvard expert:

PreFense
The 90% Advantage
By Steve Tarani, 288 p. #PF $24.95
