Mental Health And Guns: Mentally Defective Because You Believe In The Second Amendment

Simply because local LEOs wanted to, the Plaintiffs had their weapons confiscated, and the LEOs ignored constitutional protections regarding illegal search and seizure. The case has to do with residents of Illinois, but it could be anywhere. Now someone spend the time and expend the effort to explain to me how mental health checks are going to keep guns out of the hands of “dangerous criminals.” Go ahead. I’m listening.

They don't fear criminals. The folks they actually fear are law abiding Americans who are fans of the Constitution and it's founders. Those of us who would stand in their way, armed to the teeth, and stop them and their drive to create a socialist, police state. We are their dire enemy. They know they are going to have to kill us in order to have their way.

Here's the truth. They will never stop their push for their dream of a Marxist Utopia.

We will never, willingly, give up our guns without a bloody fight.

This is going to come to blows, sooner or later. We'd best start planing how we are to win and keep as many true Americans alive as possible.

If the thought of "kill lists" 4GW scare you, then you better find a place to hide, because it's coming and it's going to be ugly.; March 26, 2014 at 7:55 AM
Anonymous said...: The reason LEO does this is to cement FOID cards. Over and over, FOID card possession is used a defense - rather than simple Second Amendment rights

LEO knows they will lose these cases but that's the POINT.

This is a hoodwink and I'm left to wonder how long LEO will tolerate being the politicians bitches, being the scapegoat in trying to protect outright infringements.

The other aspect - searching without a warrant - is to keep jurisprudence on the fourth amendment level instead of where it has to be - on the SECOND. It's not unlike the NRA track with state preemption.... That track allows for tenth amendment shenanigans ALL of it designed to AVOID having to face facts in court - that the second ITSELF declares these rights SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!; March 26, 2014 at 12:16 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.
