Gun Grabbing is Nothing New

A piece of history today.

Gun Grabbers have been at it in America for over a Century.

Remember The National Firearms Act was passed after decades of fighting over it in 1934.

They tried to completely outlaw handguns, which is why the NFA of 1934 has so much focus on the length of Shotguns and Rifles. In fact, it was only at the last minute, when the Bill was going to die because of that feature, that the "Progressives" backed off and took as their prize the fact that they managed to get a defacto gun prohibition law passed.

In an ironic twist, the continued debasement of the dollar's value has actually made the taxes in the NFA-34 immaterial in the over all scheme of gun expenses, so the NFA-34 is really just a bizarre mess of shock over the length of rifle barrels, showing that most laws are folly.

In 1968 they capitalized on the death of Kennedy to pass the weird GCA-68 - which outlawed shipping firearms by individuals. Ironically the firearms community woke up a little then and started buying guns capable of being used to defend themselves from government.

The Clintonistas and their Assault Weapons Ban did far more to alarm us, and when it expired the community got busy preparing to resist.

You can bet 90% of all AR's have been bought to be available for a civil war when it comes.

What of the Hillary Clinton

Only those who willfully desire to clock themselves in ignorance can deny that Hillary Clinton broke laws that many high profile people have been sent to prion for breaking.

Our entire system is a fraud if she is not held accountable. Some try to say that using courts against political opponents is very Banana Republic.: but not prosecuting the powerful is even more of a Banana Republic gambit.

Our Nation is openly discussing civil war because of the mad desire for power by Ms Clinton and her cronies.

It is time for responsible adults to bring her to justice,

Terror

Sadly tonight many Americans have to go to sleep worried about their safety, they worry about violence, they worry about their children's future.

These Americans are good hard working people. They obey the law, they pay their taxes, they are their brothers keeper.

But, these Americans support the Constitution and own guns. they are in terror of the power of a Government lead by fanatics who want the Constitution destroyed.

Terror is a many faceted tool. It saddens us all to know we are terrorizing one another.

Poverty by Snobbery

Del Norte County has a unique geology. Most of us know of the copper mines at Low Divide and the historical recovery of gold. Fewer still know of the platinum mines, or that diamonds have been found here. Other rare discoveries are documented too.

The truly rich body of ore though is the chrome and nickel bodies. These are critical ores for a modern society. Proposals to extract them have been on the table for decades.

Anyone who has traveled the back country knows the area of ore is not a beautiful place. Sure the distance views are inspiring, but the rock is rock. The mining would not be done on the river or in the Redwoods, not that gold dredging would hurt the river.

Our area is one of contrasts, and the homeless contrast with the prosperous well paid State Employees who make up the bulk of the economy. Often the employed look down their noses at the poor. We make fun of their clothes, modes of transportation, and pitiful begging.

How sad it is to think one of the richest regions of the world is home to poverty because of the view. Mining is the basis of any economic activity, and here the well to do refuse to consider prosperity as an option.

That's my view.

Liberty is not Freedom

In my decades as a Correctional Officer I watched people denied Freedom strive to maintain some Liberty.

And for my whole life I have been Free, but denied Liberty.  Now my Freedom is under attack too. In fact we all lost our freedom in 1913 with the passage of the income tax and the establishment of the Federal Reserve. We became economic slaves, and this is the saddest realization I have experienced as an adult.

While we are not locked up like the felons I supervised. we are not free nor do we get to enjoy the full measure of Liberty. Most of the anger and hardship all humans endure comes from the fact that we accept systems that enslave us.

Unpopular Liberty

Often the social media will have a story, with many comments, where the majority is unhappy with an act that should be tolerated in a free society. We tolerate unpopular activities so that our own unpopular activities wont become illegal too.

The average person forgets that both well manicured lawns and completely neglected lawns have their advocates and their haters.

I am setting out to blog at least one of these incidents of Unpopular Liberty a week. Be prepared to have your ox gored, but remember, it is all in the cause of promoting the greatest good mankind has yet experienced, Liberty.

Appleseed and Rifleman Radio

Appleseed, Combining History and Marksmanship.

Appleseed is a nationwide project of rifle marksmanship clinics designed to foster an appreciation of the real struggle America has always faces to keep Liberty alive.

Rifleman Radio is an outreach program to spread the word about the Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA), and since the struggle for Liberty is ongoing, all Americans are eligible for membership in the RWVA.

Your author and his son attended an Appleseed event last winter near Red Bluff. The course was challenging, the history enlightening, and the people enthusiastic. Do yourself a favor and become acquainted with Appleseed and the RWVA. You will be glad you did.
