and –as always–Remus gets to the nub of the matter:
‘…All federal gun control acts, all state and municipal gun laws and all their enforcement provisions are illegal on their face. They are non-laws, indefensible and of no standing. Proposing and passing them into law was illegal, their ongoing enforcement is illegal. Legislation to mend parts of them is illegal because it concedes and endorses the illegal laws it seeks to modify. The only legitimate stance is complete repeal, root and branch, to be followed by indictments of those who broadened and extended them, and severance with prejudice for those prosecutors who enforced them, down to and including the Attorney General.
Appeals to the Supreme Court are also wrong, the court awarded itself the authority to rule on the Constitutionality of laws, it’s a power it does not have other than by acquiescence. The Bill of Rights was written by the people, in plain language. The Supreme Court can’t legitimately presume to speak in its place, rights which predate the republic don’t exist now only as they define them, they were recognized as-is by the same document that brought the court into existence, and of the two, the court is the lesser. Rights are the purpose of governance, the court is only part of the plumbing….’ (bold mine. kg)
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

And of course he’s right. Daily, we’re bound by more and more laws and regulations and appealing to the courts for relief against any one of them is to concede the legitimacy of rule by bureaucrats and corrupt politicians.
There are really only two effective counters to tyranny–adamant non co-operation or rebellion.
All else is words, surrender and bullshit.
@KG:
Text of the 2nd Amendment
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
…and the founders of the republic made in clear language that all honest citizens were members of the armed militia necessary to defend the free country against all enemies, which would include traitors in control of the American government.
Therefore, any laws that modifies this most important constitutional right to keep and bear arms are, indeed, null and void.
I agree with everything except-
“The only difference between a police officer and a private citizen is that the former has the authority and duty to intervene in situations that the ordinary citizen should, or even must, avoid.”
Actually,no,they have the authority to intervene,but are not obligated to do so as has been tried in courts all across the land time and again.An LEO has no legal obligation to protect you or your property from a criminal act.
The fact that many DO risk their lives to do so is a testament to their own moral fiber and bravery.

Well now, that’s interesting…
Yup,here is a better more thorough article on the subject-

@Darin:
The first duty of the policeman is to defend the government.
Police are a paramilitary organization.
The police have no duty to protect the individual citizens.
