ENOUGH On The 2nd Amendment Bull****<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I don’t agree with Karl on many things, but this one he’s got dead bang.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nOh, and the **** censorship is his own.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

I’ve had it with the left — and about\u00a0half\u00a0<\/em>the right.<\/p>\n

Rights are negative obligations against the government and other citizens — always.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rights are\u00a0never\u00a0<\/em>positive obligations;\u00a0they cannot be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, you have the right to\u00a0free speech.<\/em>\u00a0 It is often said that such a right is not “absolute”; that is,\u00a0you can’t yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater if there is no fire.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s a\u00a0******ned lie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must-certainly\u00a0can\u00a0<\/em>yell “Fire!”<\/p>\n

However, if there is no fire,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>the\u00a0consequences\u00a0<\/em>that rise from that speech are on you.<\/p>\n

To say that you cannot in fact yell “Fire!” and that\u00a0government,\u00a0<\/em>or some person has the right to\u00a0prevent\u00a0<\/em>you from yelling “Fire!”\u00a0is to claim that the government can force you to wear a ball gag in your mouth as a predicate on entry into any theater<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>and that the government can\u00a0compel\u00a0<\/em>you to prove you have one on you and in use before entry, along with arresting you should you remove it while inside.<\/p>\n

This is outrageously absurd.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the 2nd Amendment says you have the\u00a0right<\/strong>\u00a0to keep and\u00a0bear<\/strong>\u00a0arms.\u00a0 It doesn’t say “except when the government doesn’t like it”, it doesn’t say “you must\u00a0prove\u00a0<\/em>you don’t have one by search (whether magnetic, physical or otherwise)” and it does not say “except if you’re someone that has\u00a0in the past<\/strong>\u00a0done a bad thing.”<\/p>\n

You have the\u00a0right<\/strong>, therefore, to bear (have on your person) a rifle or pistol\u00a0at all times.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now this does\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0mean that if you\u00a0use<\/strong>\u00a0said device in an unlawful manner — that is, you, brandish or discharge it, committing assault or worse,\u00a0you are not liable for the consequence of doing so.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>You most-certainly are.<\/p>\n

Further, the much-vaunted 14th Amendment\u00a0which is what prohibits\u00a0States<\/strong>\u00a0from passing laws that discriminate in voting on the basis of sex or race,\u00a0<\/em>which the “progressive left”\u00a0loves,\u00a0<\/em>also<\/strong>\u00a0prohibits States and localities\u00a0from infringing on the 1st or 2nd Amendments or, for that matter, anything else in the Bill of Rights.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 That’s what “incorporation”\u00a0IS<\/strong>; it prohibits anything declared in the Constitution\u00a0from being tampered with by State and local governments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>This should have been obvious in the original Constitution but post the Civil War it was being routinely ignored by the States.<\/p>\n

Note that the 14th Amendment was ratified in\u00a01868<\/strong>, roughly three years after the Civil War ended.<\/p>\n

There is a second\u00a0false\u00a0<\/em>statement which is that the Supreme Court\u00a0decides that what is Constitutional or not\u00a0<\/em>in the context of individual rights.\u00a0\u00a0THIS IS A ******NED LIE AND ANYONE WHO HOLDS THAT FORTH DESERVES TO BE ARRESTED AND TRIED FOR SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY IF NOT ACTUAL TREASON.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason for this is clear:\u00a0One cannot acquire jurisdiction over that which\u00a0one never had<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Most of the Bill of Rights deals with declaring rights\u00a0that pre-exist government.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>All government.\u00a0 \u00a0Not just the United States and its government\u00a0but all governments throughout the time of Man on this rock.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>A government can\u00a0disrespect\u00a0<\/em>a right but it cannot grant it because to grant something\u00a0you must first have it.<\/em><\/p>\n

The First Amendment is a\u00a0declaration\u00a0<\/em>of pre-existing rights — to speak, to gather for peaceful purpose (such as debate, demonstration and similar) and to worship (or not) as one chooses.\u00a0\u00a0No government can grant that as a privilege because it never had any of that to begin with.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Second Amendment is a\u00a0declaration\u00a0<\/em>of the pre-existing right to self-defense of one’s life and those around you who you happen to choose to defend against\u00a0any and all\u00a0<\/em>who would take said life from either you or they through force.\u00a0\u00a0No government can grant that as a privilege because the government did not give you the right to defend life itself; you were endowed with that by the virtue of your humanity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>One can only forfeit same in a lawful system\u00a0by committing one or more acts of equal gravity to your own self-defense, which must be proved.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Fourth Amendment is a\u00a0declaration\u00a0<\/em>that once you acquire something through lawful means\u00a0it is yours on an exclusive basis.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>That is, the government cannot rifle through it at whim.\u00a0 Your right to exclusive possession and privacy of same is\u00a0absolute\u00a0<\/em>with one exception:\u00a0After a showing of probable cause that it is the instrumentality of an offense against a valid law.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Fifth Amendment is a\u00a0declaration\u00a0<\/em>that one has the\u00a0absolute\u00a0<\/em>right to shut the **** up.\u00a0 Government\u00a0cannot\u00a0<\/em>compel you to speak\u00a0even if doing so would incriminate you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And so on.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court<\/strong>\u00a0is constituted by the Constitution itself.\u00a0\u00a0It is thus limited to reviewing that which is\u00a0not\u00a0a declaration of a right that existed\u00a0before the Constitution.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One cannot acquire a right to do a thing that one never had\u00a0except by voluntary personal assignment from the party that has it,\u00a0<\/em>and in order to be voluntary the assignment\u00a0cannot\u00a0<\/em>be coerced.<\/p>\n

As such\u00a0all<\/strong>\u00a0firearm laws\u00a0bearing on the personal possession (keep) or wearing (bear)\u00a0<\/em>of personal arms are\u00a0void<\/strong>.\u00a0 They’re not subject to review by the Supreme Court\u00a0they are void as if never passed as no court has the right to review them;\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>they never did\u00a0and can’t\u00a0<\/em>acquire that capacity.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean the government won’t arrest (or shoot) you for violating their void laws.\u00a0 They will and they do — regularly.\u00a0\u00a0However, all such acts are those of tyrants, not legitimate government.\u00a0 Period.\u00a0 This is basic logic and no amount of screaming, crying or bull**** will\u00a0ever\u00a0<\/em>change it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Similarly a law passed to require you to wear a ball gag before going into a theater\u00a0is void<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 It is not subject to review by the Supreme Court\u00a0because the government never had the capacity to interfere with your\u00a0ability\u00a0to speak in the first place.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Any entity trying to enforce same may thus be\u00a0lawfully\u00a0<\/em>resisted with any amount of force required to do so.<\/p>\n

It is\u00a0not<\/strong>, however, unconstitutional to pass a law which states that\u00a0should one draw a weapon and commit an act of assault or reckless endangerment with it (e.g. “brandishing”)\u00a0<\/em>one can be punished at law, including by a term in prison.\u00a0 Nor is it unconstitutional to pass a law criminalizing yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater\u00a0if there is no fire.<\/em><\/p>\n

Note the distinction;\u00a0the line between that protected as pre-existing rights and not\u00a0<\/em>is at the point of an\u00a0action\u00a0<\/em>which exposes others to actual harm.\u00a0\u00a0The mere fear that one might unholster a weapon, or yell “Fire!” in the theater\u00a0does not and cannot trump natural rights<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Ever.<\/p>\n

The Sheriffs who spoke on camera yesterday have this exactly correct.\u00a0 There is a hierarchy of law.\u00a0\u00a0No organ of law may review that which extends above its own creation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>The Supreme Court may not review natural laws\u00a0because they existed before the Court did.<\/em>\u00a0 A State Court may not review\u00a0Federal\u00a0<\/em>legislation because the Federal Government existed\u00a0before the State did\u00a0<\/em>and in fact chartered said State.\u00a0 The exception is where an entity\u00a0grants,\u00a0<\/em>through entirely consensual process (which it can also revoke) said right of review.\u00a0 In other words The Federal Government\u00a0can grant\u00a0<\/em>to a State Court the right to hear a federal matter — but absent such a grant said right\u00a0does not exist.<\/em><\/p>\n

County courts (and Sheriffs)\u00a0often\u00a0<\/em>have the explicit right to execute and prosecute under State laws.\u00a0 But that’s a grant of power from the State — which it can also revoke.<\/p>\n

However, no State government can pass a law constraining the 2nd Amendment\u00a0nor can the Federal Government empower a State to do so\u00a0<\/em>because the Federal Government\u00a0never had the right in the first place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One cannot delegate that which one does not possess.<\/em><\/p>\n
