Look It Up

The Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all proposed gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities. The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy. The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. 

Look it up. Quit wasting time and energy trying to regulate an inanimate object and focus on the real issue. People kill, address the reasons this happens and not the means.

Constitutional Circumvention

I am not certain who at the newspaper office determines what issues get a thumbs up or thumbs down, but I suggest that whoever that is, they should consider a few facts before exposing their own ideology and political agenda.  For example, the Sheriff signed a petition that calls into question the validity of any law passed that would serve to infringe on the second amendment rights of American citizens.

 

The Sheriff does not work for the President or Congress and neither elected him to office. We the people did that. The Sherriff’s oath of office requires in part the following:  “ I, ---------, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”.

 

The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. Any official who in good faith believes that any executive order or law that is in conflict with the constitution is within his constitutional authority to ignore such a conflicted law under the guidance laid out in Article VI.  Within the jurisdiction of his county – the sheriff has more authority than any federal or state official until he violates his Constitutional Oath of office to support and defend the Constitution. He must do that which his oath requires and the aforementioned petition supports that effort.

 

The only way to change the constitution is by amendment and until that effort is completed, no law that attempts to control our rights under the second amendment are valid and therefore should not be enforced.
