'Printed' guns, the interstate commerce clause, and the Tenth Amendment

As long as every aspect of citizens' lives is ruled to "affect interstate commerce," there is no legal recourse against Congressional usurpation of powers to which it has no legitimate claim. Without legal recourse, the only remaining option is far messier. But if it's all that is left to us . . .

Ashrak said...: I am not a state. I am not a foreign power. I am not a Indian tribe. The Constitution does NOT give government the authority to regulate commerce among the PEOPLE of the several states. It gives government authority to regulate STATE to STATE commerce - as in state government to state government.

There can be NO SUCH THING as a PRIVATE TWO PARTY CONTRACT if the government is endlessly injected as a THIRD party regulator. Thus, the enumerated power of the JUDICIARY to settle two party private contract disputes would be moot - for such a thing wouldn't exist.

The judiciary amended the Constitution from the bench. Robed kings dictated - unconstitutionally! There is no such thing as interstate commerce control or affecting interstate commerce. It's a lie. It's a FABRICATION.

Had the framers MEANT regulate commerce among the people they would have written among the people! They DIDN'T!!! Cuz they meant no such thing.

Had the NRA not fugged up McDonald by worming in we would have attained a STRAIGHT up P and I Incorporation and that would have destroyed not only the bogus doctrine of Selective incorporation itself but also the reprehensible and unconstitutional Slaughterhouse precedent that has facilitated today's unconstitutional governance.

Trade is an economic freedom that patriots are to engage in FREELY as a matter of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. Personal choice. Private two party contracts absent government interference is a property right. Trade, commerce, between Citizens is a RIGHT and its usurpation must end!!; May 15, 2013 at 1:26 PM
William Flatt said...: No interstate + no commerce = no interstate commerce!

If I download gun-making blueprints from the internet for free, there is no commerce. If I use those blueprints to make a gun for my personal use, there is no commerce. IF I sell it to another individual who is a fellow state citizen within our home state, there no no interstate commerce, just commerce. If my state has passed the model Firearms Freedom Act in pursuance to the 10th Amendment, the feds can't touch my commerce no matter what!

It's so simple that even a caveman can understand it - which proves that the politicians & bureaucrats in DC are all unorganized lumps of amphibian sh!t...; May 16, 2013 at 9:37 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
