"Gun activist Anthony Bosworth receives $250 fine for carrying rifle at courthouse."

U.S. Magistrate Judge John T. Rodgers called Anthony Bosworth “a man of principle” and said the two years of probation requested by federal prosecutors for a failure-to-comply charge would not serve any purpose. “Nothing I’ve seen, in the facts that are being dealt with here, show any violence or threat of harm to any individual,” Rodgers told Bosworth at a sentencing hearing Wednesday afternoon.

Even now, these mentally deficient libtards still think disarming law abiding citizens is going to somehow make them safer. Stupid infantile retards. Frankly, they all deserve to die.; December 3, 2015 at 5:01 PM
PO'd American said...: What a total charade. First the Feral Chief Judge decides to sign a piece of paper stating that the property in question "is now included in the ban" and then shortly after this incident, that ban is "rescinded." PC way of stating that she didn't have the authority to issue this order in the first place, and then they have the audacity to fine a person for legally carrying in a location in which it is permissible to carry. The final slap comes from the magistrate judge saying he's only going to fine him because is essentially did nothing wrong in the first place, except pissed off some PMS'd female judge.

I think this has been paraphrased correctly.; December 3, 2015 at 5:19 PM
Bad Cyborg said...: Here's one for the "gun control" crowd. Assuming they DO - somehow - get their way - across the freaking board - and every sale has to go through a FFL and all guns have to be registered and the info kept in a national database. How do they plan to enFORCE it? I want to sell a gun to somebody I trust I'm gonna do so. Period. If we don't TELL em what we do, HOW THE HELL ARE THEY GONNA KNOW?! What makes the dummards think a national version of Connecticut or New York's intolerable acts are going to get higher compliance rates than the two states' versions I mentioned? Talk about magical thinking! Hell's bells! It didn't work in Oz and they don't have our history of revolution and gun ownership. Do they really think the majority of us will simply roll over and present our necks for the jackboots?; December 4, 2015 at 12:30 AM
Anonymous said...: I'm glad he only got a slap on the wrist, but let's see if Bosworth will back his words in Arizona that he would rather hang than pay a fine.; December 4, 2015 at 2:04 AM
Anonymous said...: The is good news.

"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.
