Sipsey Street Irregulars: Bob Owens demands: "It’s Time For The Firearms Freedom Act Of 2015."

Bob Owens demands: "It’s Time For The Firearms Freedom Act Of 2015."

A so-called “Firearms Freedom Act” could remove some of these obsolete and uniquely American restrictions on firearms, curtailing the manner in which the ATF could get into trouble, freeing them to focus on more pressing matters than the suppression of the basic human right to armed self-defense.

Uh, huh. Who will pass this over Obama's veto? The GOP? Really? What are you smoking, Bob?

Rich oil wildcatter pays a hit man to knock off two disagreeable SCOTUS associates so his bought a paid for POTUS could appoint two new friendly associates who would rule in his favor against an environmental group lawsuit who used the 'endangered' pelican to stop oil drilling.

So...what if Kagen and Ginsberg went out drinking one evening and wrapped Kagens car around an oak tree...or some other unfortunate event that made two replacement SCOTUS associates necessary at a time when a new hard core conservative republican president could make the appointments and a conservative senate could confirm?

Could a 2nd amendment ruling be rushed through that would nullify every single gun control law on the books and make the ATF obsolete?; February 16, 2015 at 11:16 PM
Anonymous said...: Proposing legislation only to see it get no movement and no serious attention and certainly no passing vote much less a veto override is an outstanding way to demonstrate that there is no legislative solution to this intolerable acts problem.; February 17, 2015 at 1:57 AM
Anonymous said...: Oh, Contrary, "February 17, 2015 at 1:57 AM." Here in Texas, we've been proposing open carry bills for the last four legislative sessions, (eight years). We are now on the verge of finally passing it. May not be 'exactly' to our specifications, but it is open carry.; February 17, 2015 at 8:37 AM
rexxhead said...: Let's none of us hold our breaths waiting for the GOP to ride to our rescue. At virtually any time in the past 70 years, they could have done so and declined.

All that is necessary is for the House to refuse to pass a budget or a continuing resolution and REALLY shut the government down, but that takes actual courage, and THAT is what the GOP lacks.; February 17, 2015 at 9:32 AM

"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.
