I've been taken to task over this off list by more than just a few folks over time. So I thought I'd run this flag up and see if anyon e else salutes it.
Under the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, I, as a citizen, am affirmed in my natural right to keep and bear arms. This is a right, a right that exists outside the law, and is enumerated in, not granted by the Bill of Rights.
No Federal Government, No State, No County, No City, No form of government has the right to deny this or any other essential freedom.
In states that have CCW programs, to carry without participating is a crime, usually a felony. This makes the bearing of arms not a right, but a privilege granted by the state.
To participate in such a program is in fact an endorsement of the state's authority to grant this "privilege".
At such a time when it can be shown that a registration process is without prejudice and without taxes or fees, or any other even remotely defined form of infringement, then I will glady comply.
I do not mind registering to vote and I do not mind paying taxes. I gladly comply with "the law" up to sitting at red lights for no other reason than it is unlawful to proceed (in my state anyway) even when there is no traffic anywhere close. (but I had to be "trained" . Were there a program for the government to get a good idea what their militia manpower capabilities were, I would certainly participate in such a form of registration, keep the government in the form of a local magistrate appraised of my ability to bear arms should the need arise for a general call to arms. To my knowlege, no such registration system exists. Nor does any other form of registration exist that I can find that even remotely keeps the amendments of the bill of rights in mind. As near as I can tell, ALL GUN LAWS ARE CONTRARY TO THE CONSTITUTION AND MUST BE REPEALED. By refusing to do this rightful and honorable thing, the lawmakers instill contempt for the law in the hearts of the common person and this can do nothing but harm. No good can come from having laws that are not in total compliance with the Constitution.
Thaz all.
take care
me
