Free Speech On Campuses

The first quote provided below is from Professor Eugene Volokh's editorial as published on May 11, 2017 by The Washington Post.

"The Supreme Court has made “crystal clear” that the government may not discriminate based on viewpoint, even in limited public fora such as university open spaces (or for that matter even university programs for funding student speech). Lower courts have consistently struck down campus speech codes aimed at supposedly bigoted speech. See, e.g., Dambrot v. Central Michigan Univ., 55 F.3d 1177, 1184-85 (6th Cir. 1995); DeJohn v. Temple Univ., 537 F.3d 301, 316-17, 320 (3d Cir. 2008); McCauley v. Univ. of V.I., 618 F.3d 232, 237-38, 250 (3d Cir. 2010); Iota Xi Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity v. George Mason Univ., 993 F.3d 386, 388-89, 391, 393 (4th Cir. 1993); College Republicans v. Reed, 523 F. Supp. 2d 1005, 1010-11, 1021 (N.D. Cal. 2007); Roberts v. Haragan, 346 F. Supp. 2d 853, 870-72 (N.D. Tex. 2004); Bair v. Shippensburg Univ., 280 F. Supp. 2d 357, 373 (M.D. Pa. 2003); Booher v. Bd. of Regents of N. Ky. Univ., 1998 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 11404, *28-*31 (E.D. Ky. 1998); UWM Post, Inc. v. Regents, 774 F. Supp. 1163, 1165-66, 1173, 1177 (E.D. Wis. 1991); Doe v. Univ. of Mich., 721 F. Supp. 852, 856, 864-66 (E.D. Mich. 1989). And in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez (2010), the Court gave students’ freedom to “express any viewpoint they wish — including a discriminatory one” as an example of “this Court’s tradition of protect[ing] the freedom to express the thought that we hate” (quotation marks omitted). There is no First Amendment exception for “hate speech” or “racist signs, symbols and speech.”.

Why An "Electoral College" & Voter Fraud

Why we have the Electoral College. 

In their infinite wisdom, the United States' Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation? 
The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense. 
Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood. 
There are 3,141 counties in the United States. 
Trump won 3,084 of them. 
Clinton won 57. (let that sink in) 
There are 62 counties in New York State. 
Trump won 46 of them. 
Clinton won 16. 
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes. 
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) 
Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton won 4 of these counties; Trump only won Richmond) 
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country. 
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. 
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles. 
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election. 
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country! 
And...it's been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation's problems foment. 

Voter Fraud

The counties noted above are notorious for the exercise of voter fraud. In California there is a possible-to-probable inclusion of "illegals" voting.

Face Recognition, Race, Crime & Democrats

      It has been reported that the "Congressional Black Caucus" is essentially against Amazon's "facial recognition technology". Some of their co-actors complained that this will only aid what they claim is "over policing" of Blacks and "undocumented" (ie Illegal) immigrants.

      It is a fact that Blacks commit (On the basis of their share of the general population) more crimes, more serious crimes and them more often that Whites and almost infinitely more than those of Chinese ancestry.  I suggest that the cited caucus' real motive is a fear that such technology will remove more Black criminals (And "illegals?) from the open community---AND FROM BEING VOTING PARTS OF THE DEMOCRATS' POWER BASE.

     

"Progressives" NOT; "Regressives" YES

Those Americans (sic) who are termed "Progressives" are, in fact, "Regressives".

They wish to regress the USA back to the tyrannical rule of Britain before our first American Revolution, the establishment of The Bill Of Rights and the "Emancipation Amendments" when there was:
1. No free speech as allowed even what some now call "hate speech";
2. No "freedom of the press" as allowed publishers to criticize, even abuse, governments and its officials and officers;
3. No "free exercise of religion" (ie As intended by the Founders to prevent the establishment of an official national church and allow every American to cleave to some Church or to none; And,
4. No right to "due process of law" before inflicting financial or other penalties on those accused of crimes or other offenses; And,
5. No right to "keep and bear arms" as allows law-abiding and legally presumed sane Americans to immediately and effectively stop the harm intended by ordinary criminals, terrorists and, for that matter, power hungry politicians.

There also appears that some wish the USA (And what is left of civilization) to regress 1400-years to the medieval society which produced Mohammed (Of Mecca and Medina) who was a murder, bandit, genocidal liar and the perverted sexual abuser of a nine-year-young girl-child---A model followed by his most loyal followers.

Perhaps, those "regressives" should remember that the vast majority of police/military grade firearms (20-million-plus), privately held in the USA, are in the hands of "The Right" along with about 20-Trillion rounds.

Three Levels Of Interaction With Humans

For myself I find that the following rules for interaction with other people is fitting-and-proper.
1. I deal with adults I encounter by treating them as Ladies or Gentlemen (Note the capital letters) with such mutual courtesies as they are presumed to deserve.
2. If the behavior of such is not up to the level of Ladies or Gentlemen, I demote them to "mere" men and women.
3. If behavior continues to degenerate or begins with violent-or-threatening attacks on me or mine ("Mine" including family, friends, fellow citizens, my nation, my Faith or my civilization), they are demoted to "critters" and "targets".

Small children are to be treated with courteous-and-loving firmness; Teens (Physically smaller than full adults) according to the behaviors they exhibit.

I have recently concluded that adult Muslims who will not deny the horrid and violent teachings of the false prophet Mohammed begin at Level-2.

Armed Terrorist Kill By Armed Citizen

Dear Fellow Americans:

I have no doubts but that the, now properly liquidated, criminal inflicted terror on those in the reported restaurant.

This is only one of the  many (Often "edited out" by the "Media") uses of firearms by armed, private, Americans to stop harm at a rate many, many, times that harm caused by the illegal use of guns.

                                                   Honestly yours,

Armed citizen kills shooter at OKC restaurant

By Rick Moran

An armed citizen confronted a man who fired shots inside a restaurant and killed him, according to Oklahoma City police.

The shooter opened fire inside the establishment, injuring two people.  As he was fleeing the scene, the armed bystander opened fire, fatally injuring the shooter.

CNN:

A man walked into Louie's Grill & Bar and opened fire, striking two people.  As the gunman was fleeing the scene, a bystander armed with a pistol confronted the shooter and fatally shot him outside the restaurant, Oklahoma City Police Captain Bo Mathews told reporters.

"Right now, all I know is that it was just a good Samaritan that was there and looks like he took the right measures to be able to put an end to a terrible, terrible incident," Mathews said.

The shooter's motive is not known and his identity has not been confirmed.

Four people were injured during the shooting.

A woman and a girl were shot after the gunman walked into the busy restaurant.  They were hospitalized and are expected to survive, Mathews said.

The mother and daughter were celebrating a birthday when they were injured, CNN affiliate KOCO reported.

A man broke his leg when trying to run out of the restaurant and a fourth person suffered a minor injury, police said.

Police detained "a large number of witnesses" and said "there is no indication of terrorism at this point."

Oklahoma has an expansive concealed carry gun law, although the governor vetoed a "permitless" gun bill earlier this year.  Anyone doubting the efficacy of such laws need only look at this incident – an incident that is hardly isolated in states that have concealed carry permissions. 

The bottom line is that people are alive today in Oklahoma City because of the foresight of our founding fathers, who realized that self-defense is one of the most important natural rights bestowed on people and that restrictions on that right are not only dangerous, but stupid. (Bold face added)

Oklahoma City shooting -- two "good guys with guns" stopped it.

POSTED BY DAVID HARDY · 25 MAY 2018 12:42 PM

Originally it was reported that one armed civilian engaged the shooter, but now it is reported that that two men retrieved guns from their cars and did so.

Civil, Revolutionary & Some Other Wars

Some recent comments (eg "The New Divide In American Politics"; First Things (On Line); 23 May 2018) have pointed out the growing divide in our Republic as perhaps based, in part, on "Religion vs. Not-Religion".

I suggest that the cited division is also based on:
1. Constitutional Laws and "equal justice under law" vs. mob rule;
2. Supporters of the intent of the authors of the 1789 Constitution, The Bill Of Rights and of statutory law as the standard vs. those supporting judges "making and inflicting law and amending our Constitution from the bench";
3. Such Natural Law rights as allow innocent targets of violent criminal attack to immediately use deadly force to stop any "clear and present danger of death or great bodily harm" when civil authorities are not able (And sometimes unwilling to do so) to put immediate halt to such threats. [This right may demand the use of deadly force in protecting those who are unable to do so; And, by extension, the right to immediate access to those weapons as allow them to exercise that right and perform that duty (ie Modern, concealable and effective firearms) as so much opposed by the leadership of the Democratic (sic) Party which disorganization is on one side of the noted divide.];
4. Those who support the fullest exercise of "free speech: (ie The necessary, but not sufficient, basis of "Academic Freedom") as allows even the most provoking expression of ideas vs. those who would totally censor what they consider "hate speech"or, even, "disturbing", expressed, ideas.

Those divisions have resulted in wars-between-states as in Central Europe's "Wars of Religion" and our own "War Between The States" as often putting contesting peoples in more-or-less distinct areas.

Our nation's first Revolutionary War, like Spain in the 1930s, was a "Civil War" with the various factions less clearly divided by geography---Especially in its early stages. In Spain the "left" did tend to group in-and-about Catalonia and the forces of Franco and his allies in other places. [The present divisions in the USA are nation wide, but with more weight to the left in our West Coast states and in a few other places as Illinois, New York State and Maryland along with a number of cities/counties ruled by Democrats. They, more generally follow the pattern set by Spain at the beginning of its civil war than the USA in 1860.] 

At this time the State government of California is in such a "resistance" to Federal authority as was the case in the South in 1859-60 lacking only one, severe, violent act to make its officials guilty of "Treason" as defined by our Constitution and place California and any supporting jurisdictions in a "State Of Rebellion" as would warrant constitutional imposition of martial law along with denial of Habeas Corpus, military removal of illegal aliens from the USA to to internment camps, use of volley-fire to suppress mobs, courts martial, and other means towards limiting the spread of rebellion to other strongholds of "the left" (As, otherwise, might yield a true "civil war").

Such a conflict might well result in "The Right" using its great advantage in the private possession of modern firearms to privately "liquidate" their opponents---Which may be basic to the Democrats' Jihad against a well armed citizenry.

Returning to the matter of "religion" v. "not-religion" it appears that: Removing the matrix of Christianity (As based on the teachings of the Jews) from its role of support in what was once Western Civilization in Western nations leaves a gap filled by a most arrogant Atheism as essentially against humane behavior as is the horrid commands of orthodox Islam. In this era, this is most exactly demonstrated by Sweden where both have rotted away real "Charitas", personal freedoms and self-determination in favor of obedience in the style described in the novel 1984.

The Mind Of Sen. John McCain

Some years ago US Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) began to make "strange" statements and like actions.

At first, I wondered if he was a deeply buried "Manchurian Candidate" who was "turned" during his confinement and torture in North Vietnam. However, I very quickly rejected that possibility as my own statements were and are often no more abnormal than his were.  That position is supported by my own views as to allowing even "strange" views to be under the protection of the first article of The Bill Of Rights.

The news of his having brain cancer provides a rational explanation for his increasingly questionable-to-irrational statements as are much like those of persons suffering other forms of brain damage.

As Senator McCain will not be deprived of income or medical (By reason of military and other public work) service by resigning he should now do so to allow the People of Arizona an active (Voting) Member of the US Senate. That would be a most fitting end to a life of service-and-sacrifice.

Welcoming MS-13

After listening to Mr. Juan Williams, Nancy Pelosi and too many others discussing AND defending the human status of "MS-13", it appears that they require a reorientation to reality.

They should be required to:

1. Personally view the battered bodies of some victims, in some medical examiner's office, of those sub-animal monsters; And,

2. Talk to the families of those massacred, real, humans.

If, and only if, they are willing to back up their pathological words with compassionate actions, they might take some member of MS-13 into their homes and introduce such to their children and grandchildren---As their new baby-sitter.

Of course, that would likely require someone else to perform the viewing and interviews listed above as to their families.

Britain's Military Needs

At this time it does not appear that the United Kingdom needs an overly strong Royal Navy or RAF. In this era it seems most unlikely that the Muslim besieged French will invade the Channel Islands or some new Vikings will come out of the self-castrated Scandinavian nations.

The United Kingdom's greatest and great military need is for a strong and totally loyal Army as is especially trained to suppress internal Jihad attacks on its institutions and peoples.

In the case of any such (Pray forgive the redundancy) Islamist-terrorist attacks, the first Army targets would best be Mosques as have been the traditional places for storage of weapons and as headquarters for Jihad.

The Army should keep its detection operations separate from the Muslim infiltrated or directed civil police and look for other properties as have been used in Western nations (ie Including the USA) as armories.

Two Democrats Khali Shiek Mohammed & Treason

After reading the article reproduced below, I must wonder if the Democrats (And their co-actors) named below are in violation of the "adhering to the enemies" (Of the USA) provision of 18 U.S. Code § 2381 and of Article-III, Section-3 of our Republic's Constitution as define TREASON.

Being a Member of The Congress does not provide immunity from such a charge. I suggest that Attorney General Sessions order an investigation into this matter and, thereafter, have a "presentment" (As to a charge of Treason) made to a Grand Jury.

As I have "put my life on the line" by dangerous military service and have performed dangerous (Paid and unpaid) civilian service for the protection of my fellow Americans I must insist that those traitors be punished.

     

                                         

              <https://canadafreepress.com/article/sleeping-with-the-enemy>

"It’s outrageous that the Democrats are attempting to enlist the assistance of Khalid Sheik Mohammed to attempt to block the confirmation of Gina Haspel, a 30-year career CIA agent, as Director of the CIA. It’s even more outrageous that the Senate Intelligence Committee would consider a submission by the mastermind of the 9/11 outrage that resulted in the death of 3,000+ Americans.

Mohammed has asked a military judge at the Guantanamo Bay military prison yesterday to forward an attachment containing “six specific paragraphs of information” that supposedly details Haspel’s wrongdoing for inclusion in the Senate Committee’s considerations. One can only guess who encouraged Mohammed to write these paragraphs and try to send them to Washington.

Informed readers will recall that Khalid Sheik Mohammed is the mastermind behind the attacks against the United States that took place on September 11, 2001 and resulted in more American deaths than the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. It also caused substantially more economic damage and its results are felt to this day, as anyone wishing to board an aircraft anywhere in the free world will attest.

Mohammed was captured in 2003 and was detained at several CIA-sponsored ‘black-ops’ sites in Afghanistan and Poland before being incarcerated at Guantanamo. There’s no dispute that he was subjected to so-called ‘enhanced interrogation’ that included, among other things, sleep deprivation, rectal hydration (also known as enemas) and 183 instances of waterboarding.

Eventually Mohammed cracked and spilled the beans, detailing how the plan was conceived and executed.

It’s mind boggling that the Democrats would stoop to this level of collusion with one of America’s most intransigent and evil enemies in their fruitless efforts to stop the success of President Trump.

Four of the Democrats on the Committee have asked Daniel Coats, the current Director of National Intelligence to declassify how, when and to what extent Haspel was involved in the interrogation of Mohammed. These are Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR). Two of these senators, Heinrich and Wyden could rightly be excused for being ignorant of the circumstances surrounding Mohammed’s interrogation and incarceration, as neither served in the Senate at the time these events transpired.

However, both Senators Feinstein and Harris are more than just a tad disingenuous, as both were in the Senate on 9/11. And let us not forget that Flight 93, which was brought down by its passengers and crashed in a Pennsylvania field, was intended to hit either the White House or the Capitol, which could easily have resulted in the death of both senators. In point of fact, Sen. Feinstein, as well as then House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi were made aware by the Bush Administration that enhanced interrogation was taking place. But like all things political, Democrat leaders didn’t seem to have a problem with it, as there was no political upside.

American politics has become so toxic, so corrupt and so single-mindedly partisan on the part of the Democrats, as to border on treason. Allowing Khalid Sheik Mohammed to submit his thoughts about Haspel to the Senate Intelligence Committee is akin to allowing Heinrich Himmler to pick the judge at the Nuremberg Trials. To call this a travesty is an understatement.. (Boldface added)"

Doctors, Journalists & Guns

 Doctors and “journalists” do NOT “see” the very many whose lives and “bodily integrity” are safe-guarded by the private use (Most often “mere” display) of guns by citizens. They treat and report on only those events as where medical attention is needed reporting is had.

Herr Robert Mueller III Vs. ALL.Privileged Communications

The acts of Herr Robert Mueller (Gestapofuehrer) has now caused the FBI (aka KGB) to seize the once "privileged communications" of an attorney.

We may now expect other such Fascists to force the release of like-privileged knowledge of:

1. Loyal wives or husbands;

2. Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Social Workers and other such civil counselors whose help for others demands privacy of much information received and sometimes put down in writing;

3. Confidential information given journalists (ie Especially as to public officials); And,

4. Communications given, in confidence, to Pastors, Rabbis, Priests and other ministers-of-religion.

It appears to be either improper or illegal or "too political" for our President to "fire" Mueller [Please note that I did not support Mr. Trump's campaign until his democratic (Without "Super Delegates) and honest (Without the fraud inflicted by H. R. Clinton on her Party) nomination by my Party].

However, Mueller and his co-actors (In the criminal justice meaning) must be removed from their positions by one or more of the following means:

4. Attorney General Sessions doing so by fiat; Or,

5. Attorney General Sessions ordering a Special Prosecutor to investigate their actions and, upon evidence received, make a "presentment" to a Grand Jury as to probable charges of "Violations Of Civil Rights Under Color Of Law" or "Fraud"; Or,

6. The Congress taking such actions as "Impeachment" and trial OR removing operating funds from those tyrants; Or,

7. Other means not known to me.

THE FAILURE TO DO THIS WOULD BE: AN ATTACK ON ONE OF THE MOST BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LAW IN OUR DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLIC; AND, EVIDENCE OF GROSS COWARDLYNESS BY OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL OR MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS.

Today's Real Danger To USA's Blacks

The real danger to our Black fellow citizens and legal immigrants, does NOT spring from:
1. Some fool wearing "Blackface" or posting like images on-line and on-campus; OR,
2. The small share (> 0.5%)) of White Americans who can, rationally, be described as "Nazis" or like, mentally deranged, persons; Or,
3. Those Americans of Chinese ancestry who, as a racially identified group, have suffered historical, race-based, abuse (Some by murder) and have left that behind to generally achieve superior academic performance [ie To the extent that some universities (eg Harvard) have been acting against them due to that success] and like success in other areas---And, an almost zero rate of imprisonment or being murdered by members or their own race or being shot by police.

The real danger the USA's Blacks comes from those Black thugs who murder (Quickly by misuse of guns and slowly by illegal drugs), rape and prostitute, rob and otherwise attack, insult and diminish other  (Chiefly law-abiding and innocent) Blacks. (Those critters also select-out, on the basis of race, White victims at rate many, many, times the reverse.

Those delusional or destructive Blacks who cast blame at the first two groups cited above and are:
4. Ignorant of the facts; Or,
5. Are, for their own profit or over-developed sense of self-worth, stirring up inter-racial hate and mistrust; Or,
6. Are so full of self-hate or racist-hate as must be removed from any attention or respect by others.

The AR-15---A Citizen Needed “Weapon Of War”

The "AR-15" is short-hand for all semi-automatic-only long arms with magazines holding more than eight-rounds. That (Such) weapons have be decried as "weapons of war" by opponents of the fullest exercise by citizens of "the right to keep and bear arms" (Without "infringement).

Although I do not own such a firearm, I will accept that application---And approve of it on the basis of the following points.

1. The "AR-15" is the ideal weapon to resist the war-like attacks of home-and-business invaders, those waging Jihad and other dangerous thugs as: It  is much more accurate at the usual self-defense distances of 30-feet or less than are hand-guns; Its light weight and recoil make it more suitable for women and trained youths to use in the home/business defense of self and innocent others; And, its "round" will tumble when hitting walls or criminals---And, not go through them to kill or injure other persons at great distances as do, for example, the "30-30" round so common in hunting rifles.
2. Its (Their) large magazines allow the usually-needed three rounds to "put down" some thug and for the (According to reports on home invasions) multiple such critters.

3. As Islamic-Terrorists are now waging war (With both guns and bombs) in the USA, that such war-weapon allows citizens (During the usual too-long wait for effective police action) to have a "war weapon" which allows them some chance of defeating those orthodox Muslims waging Islam's commanded "perpetual war" (Jihad) against those "unbelievers" who are 99% of our fellow citizens.

4. Possession of large numbers of such weapons by law-abiding and sane (Unless declared otherwise, for each challenged citizen, by a court-of-law after a full "due process hearing) citizens provides a safeguard against government tyranny as so properly feared by the Founders of our Republic as exampled by the below quotes.

A. "No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms"; "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"; “What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. LET THEM TAKE ARMS.” "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." (President Thomas Jefferson)
B. . “Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Their swords and every other terrible instrument of the soldier, are the birthright of an American…. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the People.” (Emphasis added); “As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms (Tench Coxe; Member of The Continental Congress and, later, constitutional scholar and author). [Emphasis added]

Method For Lowering Handgun Murders

FBI: Handgun Murders Dropped when These States Abolished Concealed Permit Requirements

FBI crime report figures show that Alaska, Arizona, and Wyoming–three states that abolished their concealed requirement years ago–have since witnessed a decreased in handgun murders.

This runs completely counter to the left’s doom and gloom predictions whereby they claim doing away with a government-issued carry permit will mean more bad guys carrying guns, more shootings and violence, etc.

FBI figures published by the NRA show that Alaska’s handgun murder rate “declined after the state enacted permitless carry in 2003.” Moreover, in the years since Alaska’s permit requirement was abolished “handgun murders have declined as a percentage of the total number of murders.”

A drop in handgun murders also took place in Arizona after that state abolished its concealed carry permit requirement in 2010. And in Wyoming–which abolished its permit requirement in 2011–handgun murders have declined as well.

A total of 12 states have abolished their concealed carry permit requirement. Those are Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and West Virginia. And Arkansas and Montana recognize permitless carry in the vast majority of their states too.

Republican lawmakers in Michigan and North Carolina are currently pushing to abolish concealed permit requirements in their states. Gabby Giffords’ gun control group is opposing these efforts by ominously warning that “almost anyone could carry a concealed, loaded gun in public” if the permit requirement is abolished. In reality, the only people who would legally be able to carry without a permit are those who could now meet the legal threshold to carry with a permit. And gun controllers’ hand wringing ignores the hard evidence that permitless carry led to lower handgun murder rates in Alaska, Arizona, and Wyoming.

"Gun Insurance"

The proposal to require "Gun Insurance" of those law-abiding (And legally presumed sane) citizens who wish to "keep and bear arms" is an unconstitutional "infringement" on those rights which should be protected by Amendments II and XIV to our Republic's Constitution as they limit those rights by income (This would be parallel to the "Poll Tax" as has been declared unconstitutional!).

National Defense Zone On Southern Border

As an "Old Navy Hand" I recall that there were and are places, including along our nation's shorelines, as exclude citizens and other unqualified persons, from entry. Although most of these areas have been or are used for "live fire exercises" other such zones (Unless my memory has failed me) were for other national security reasons.

I must wonder if such a zone can be established North (eg 1000 yards) from our border with Mexico:
1. Would declare its residents and their ("Checked out") guests, employees and agents as authorized persons;
2. Would be under only military law (By Act Of Congress) as would exclude the jurisdiction of civilian courts;
3. Might not be in urban areas where the Border Patrol could saturate those places;
4. Provide commissioned officers of our Armed Forces the authority to arrest unauthorized persons found in those zones and to use enlisted personnel to do so;
5. Authorize, if not require, them to force across our Southern border any persons entering those zones from the South---And, to use any level of force to do so; And,
6. Authorize, if not require, them to immediately use lethal force against any persons "presenting a clear and present danger of death or great bodily harm" against members of our armed forces or authorized civilians in those zones.

Alternatives To Knives Or Guns---Updated

Since police are often unable (Or is it unwilling?) to protect the People from criminals, those potential victims should take measures to protect themselves. As too many officials (Especially very "political" Police) appears to frown on citizens having readily accessible firearms or, even knives, to do so, I suggest that the People keep ready and use one or more of the following: Gas or elastic powered fish spears; Ordinary harpoons; Maces or "War Hammers" of the many historical varieties; Home made (Liquid Petroleum Gas) flame throwers disguised as walking sticks OR other "innocent" objects; Sling shots"  with steel ball bearings as projectiles; Chain saws; Lead shot filled garden hose sections; Chinese style repeating cross bows; Batons plugged into wall current OR (Disguised as walking sticks or other "innocent" objects and with today's high discharge-rate batteries and capacitors) with sharp prong electrodes to jab into thugs; Old style "zip guns" using sharpened flooring materials as projectiles; Packets of red pepper dust to be followed with boots and clubs (The Maori and Iroquois have some nice designs); "Nail Guns"; And, any number of other improvised weapons.
