Gun rights protest planned at federal courthouse

On Monday, U.S. Eastern District Court Chief Judge Judge Rosanna Malouf Peterson in Spokane signed a general order expanding the weapons restriction to include access areas to federal courthouses in Yakima, Spokane and Richland. That includes sidewalks surrounding the building, plazas, lawn areas and parking lots, U.S. Attorney Michael Ormsby said in an email.

How about PUBLIC PROPERTY? How about We the Peoples' property?

It's OUR government! It's OUR tax dollars paying to build AND operate that courthouse! Of the people BY the people FOR THE PEOPLE!

Arrests will expose the lie.

As for gadflies, isn't it interesting that the same thing the SAF claaaiimmms to oppose in court is what's being demonstrated, contested, outside it? Or is it? Sadly, Gman is destroying the SAF - whether he realizes it or not.; March 6, 2015 at 8:45 AM
Roger said...: So...no such order was in place (as required by 18 USC 930) in Spokane at the time Bosworth was arrested on the commons?

Isn't it true that if you piss off a gadfly it will reproduce tenfold?; March 6, 2015 at 10:26 AM
Nairb said...: I'll be there with my Peterson/Ormsby approved "rifle". Alinsky did say to mock them, did he not?

I will be posting a photo of me and my "rifle", hopefully at the Foley Kremlin Building, later on my blog.; March 6, 2015 at 12:01 PM

Anonymous said...: Ok, let's say ten people showed up.

Does that fact have anything to do with the merit of the protest? Would the merit change if a hundred or a thousand showed up? How about ten thousand?

Those who point to number(like complaining about anonymous) do so in order to avoid addressing the substance and the merit of it. Derision is that last bastion of a beaten opponent.; March 6, 2015 at 6:41 PM
Roger said...: Anonymous said..."Looks like all 10 of them showed up."

Whether 10, 100, or 1000...they all put their liberty on the line to stand up for your constitutional rights.

How about saying Thank You! instead?; March 7, 2015 at 10:54 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.
