Herschel Smith on the 9th Circus Decision & Connecticut Tyrannical Outcomes.

The Ninth Circuit, The Second Amendment And The Right To Bear Arms

My thoughts? I ain't celebrating yet. The prags are almost in ecstatic auto-ejaculation over this. I say, there is nothing these black-robed bastards can't yet screw up. (See Heller.)

See also Notes from HPS:

Mike Vanderboegh is discussing his work against Communist Mike Lawlor and how remarks by Robert Farago don’t quite measure up. Look, I have nothing against Robert, but I find him to be a rather strange bird. The e-mails I have exchanged with him eventually found Robert offering to let me write for TTAG as long as they got exclusive rights to the content for the first 48 hours (or some time), while he also seemed very reluctant to link and comment on anything I write on my own web site. I cannot possibly answer why he took this position. As I said, it seems rather odd to me.

Robert says of the Connecticut situation, “No matter how you look at it, this will not end well.” Oh, I’m not so sure about that. Perhaps I will begin praying imprecatory prayers against Mike Lawlor. Perhaps the collectivists in Connecticut will back down. Perhaps this will become a toothless law. Perhaps the first shooting or imprisonment of a gun owner will bring the house down on law enforcement in Connecticut. I can think of a number of good outcomes.

Anonymous said...: There are some things in the Corcus decision to be thankful and hopeful about. However, there is plenty to be wary of and even some blatant garbage to outright oppose.

Why did this come out of that cesspool? The jig is up and they know it. It's a couched attempt to look supportive of standing down gun control while actually setting up the keeping of a great deal of it.

People need to read that decision CAREFULLY -especially the ironic hypocrisy of slamming other courts over the very twisting the ninth itself engages in.

Mike, you caution on the Heller front. I agree. This decision is WORSE, in that, it dismisses even some of what heller did get correct.; February 14, 2014 at 7:22 AM
Anonymous said...: I can see the usurpers bringing in UN troops to enforce their unconstitutional laws. I can also see every armed patriot from the other 50 states (like they did when there were 13 states when they rushed to Boston to the aid of the colonists there). The patriots in CT will let us know when they are in trouble. I can see The Usurper "turning off the Internet" so there is no communications when time comes. I believe they will even go as far as a targeted EMP once they realize what could happen and how badly they could lose.; February 16, 2014 at 1:02 AM

"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.
