Well if the government who has power over the life and death of people is insane, that makes a pretty good case for the People to have guns, wouldn’t you say?

I saw this mentioned in Facebook last night and it stopped me cold. The Flake Amendment HR 2578.

In pages six and seven, you will find this:

If you were to be affected by No Fly-No Gun and decide that you want to take it to court to challenge your denial, you are not allowed. And if you decide that you need to challenge the constitutionality of such law in District or Appeals Court, you are not allowed either! Your only chance would be to directly apply to SCOTUS and the chances of that are worse than hitting the Powerball, twice.

If 4 (A) is a Legislative affront to the Judicial branch, 4(B) is a nuclear strike against the Constitution itself.

This is extracted from Alan Corwin’s excellent analysis of the amendment, you need to go read it!

This wholesale violation of the Bill of Rights evaporates the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. There is no valid legal argument for doing this. In fact, the arguments being used are overwhelmingly absurd. It’s preposterous even if you hate guns — it makes no sense — while undermining our entire legal system. Does that matter?

Joe Huffman even forwards that it is a violation of the law under 18 USC 241:

The writers of this have to know they are attempting to create a law that will be thrown out as unconstitutional. Otherwise they wouldn’t care if it were reviewed by the courts for constitutionality. Right?
If they are knowingly working together to infringe upon rights, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, then tell me how a prosecutor can squint their eyes, twist the meaning of words, and claim what these people are doing is not a conspiracy to deny rights?

Both the writer and the supporters of this amendment need to be removed from office. Same goes for the clowns that gave us the Sit-In to get this disgraceful piece of legislation voted. If they had any shame, they should quit.. but we are talking politicians here so no chance of feeling ashamed for what they did.

Maybe, just maybe we need to go Old School.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Rick Scott appointed Robert Dees to the 4th Judicial Circuit on Friday, choosing the Jacksonville attorney from a list six nominees that included a Republican state lawmaker who had become the target of gun-rights groups.
Scott’s pick for the 4th Judicial Circuit — made up of Duval, Clay and Nassau counties — drew attention because influential National Rifle Association lobbyist Marion Hammer initiated a letter-writing campaign in opposition to Rep. Charles McBurney, R-Jacksonville, who had wanted the job as judge…”In a letter last month to NRA and Unified Sportsmen of Florida members, Hammer deemed McBurney “unfit” for a judgeship because, as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he refused to move forward with a measure tied to the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law during the legislative session that ended in March.
Florida Carry later urged its members to oppose McBurney.
As of Friday morning, the governor’s office had received 7,985 responses in opposition to McBurney and 134 in support, according to Scott’s aides. None of the five other nominees received any emails or letters in opposition.

I fear that sometimes we can be too jaded and think our lonesome contribution does not matter. In this case, 7,985 Floridians took the time to pen a quick note of disagreement and an undeserving politician will not be getting the cookie jar.

Every. Email. Matters.

The British people have chosen to leave the EU with a higher margin than expected.

The is the feeling that this was motivated more by recent problems with Muslim refugees than economic woes.

It is no secret that President Obama has encouraged the UK to stay in the EU.

Personally, I take heart in that.  If I knew nothing else about Brexit, I would do exactly what Obama told me not to do.  He is the Captain Peter “Wrong Way” Peachfuzz of Commanders in Chief.  Take all the advice that he as to give, than to exactly the opposite.  Watch this clip and replace “Captain” with “POTUS” and “USS Andalusia” with “USA” and tell me it’s not an accurate description of his legacy.

What the British people have done is defy the political elite of the EU.

I believe that this is the ballot box equivalent of the John Brown raid on Harper’s Ferry.  It may not be the first shots fired of a European civil war, but it sure as hell pushed it along.  The Prime Minister has resigned over the vote.  Several other EU nations have been bitten by the bug of secession.

I don’t know what the future holds for the UK and the EU.  But right now, I really wish the people the UK had not given up their ability to own guns.  I think, very soon, they will need them.

So almost 2 weeks after the Pulse Massacre, the only thing the Lib/Progs tried to accomplish was to abolish the Fifth and Fourth Amendments n the Senate, failed and then went on to stage a political pajama party in the House with taxpayer-funded armed security and catering included..

During the same time, the Gun Community via Operation Blazing Sword, began offering LGQBT-Friendly firearms instruction across the nation and even a couple abroad. These are run by volunteers, many of them for free or very little out-of-pocket expense.

As of this morning according to the map, members of the LGBTQ community can get training in refusing to be stomped or shot to death at 682 locations. 

The ball is in your court.

… by the way Brit subjects treated their political masters.

Dear Washington Post: That is the way it is supposed to work. It is the WILL of the People and the RIGHT of the People.

About time you guys get a clue.
