[left]If you own an illegal full auto weapon, then as a LEO it is his sworn duty to do something about it. Maybe you don't agree with the laws, but that doesn't really matter. I don't like driving 70 down the Interstate, and i don't have to, but if I get busted for going 20 over then thats my fault.[/left]
[left]As for use of force, only the amount of force necessary to make the arrest or confiscation is used. If you don't fight, you don't get hurt. If you decide you want to play Rambo, then I don't care who you think you are, you are definitely going to lose.[/left] |

Quoted: Virtually all LEO's -- sworn to uphold the Constitution -- are willing to initiate force against non-violent citizens who possess modern M16's. Would it be wrong for a citizen to use force to protect himself in this case? The Supreme court has ruled that unconstitutional laws are null and void upon passage and signature by the president. Defending your God-given Constitutionally guaranteed rights is never"wrong", even if it is "unlawful". [:D] The reason that LEO is "on" you,(depending on your state), is your failure to pay a (federal) tax....... |

Quoted: Would it be wrong for a citizen to use force to protect himself in this case? Yes, most likely fatally wrong. That's what the court system is for. Get arrested, and go to trial. Fight a good fight there and you will win peoples respect. Pull a gun on a LEO and get a death sentence without benefit of a trial, and you probably won't have many mourners at your funeral. I wouldn't want my life to depend on the constitutional vs. unconstitutional spot-judgement of an underpaid, overworked, underappreciated law enforcement official. Their job is to enforce laws, and let the courts sort them out. |

Quoted: The Supreme court has ruled that unconstitutional laws are null and void upon passage and signature by the president. When did SCOTUS rule this? It seems that laws are not "unconstitutional" until they are RULED "unconstitutional" by the Supreme Court. Only THEN would those convicted under such laws would have their convictions overturned. I hardly think SCOTUS left it up to Joe Sixpack to decide the constitutionality of all laws and intended that he has the right to defend hisself, with lethal force, against whichever laws HE decides are "unconstitutional". |

Around 1/3 of the NATIONAL population would need to be participatory in any revolution. When such a need arises, if ever there a need be, no one will be left to doubt. Sons will fight, daughters will burn, and marraiges will lie broken. Communities will reel with the bloodshed, and nary a house will be spared the weepings of family. Thus is the reality of war... |

The Constitution does NOT say that Congress from time to time shall pass anti-Constitutional laws, and these "laws" will be valid until knocked down by the Supreme Court. The Constitution makes no allowance whatsoever for the enforcement of anti-Constitutional laws. |

If it's so obvious that these laws are wrong, why is it that you can't find anybody actually willing to take a stand against them? Sure, we mutter about it all, but nobody ever actually DOES anything about it except make noise. Notwithstanding the enormous contributions to the NRA, GOA, etc.
If the Constitution is so clear, why doesn't everybody "get it", even here on this gun board? Might there be more going on here, than just "I know something you don't"? |

Theoretically, under your theory the 2nd Amendment would protect the right of a convicted murderer to possess a grenade launcher while in prison. So let's qualify this scenario by specifying that the citizen is not in prison, is not a convicted felon, and possesses nothing more than the standard-issue U.S. military infantry weapon. |

ESPECIALLY when you can legally own a machinegun! Since you are trying to discuss the [b]shooting of Cops for the purposes of illegally owning machine guns[/b], you ARE talking about revolution.

Mac,
When Congress passes a law that no reasonable person could interpret to be Constitutional, is this law "presumptively constitutional"? If the framers had intended to allow for the enforcement of such "laws", wouldn't they have mentioned this in the Constitution? Isn't the allowance of enforcement of clearly anti-Constitutional laws an open door for Congress to circumvent the Constitution? Didn't the framers clearly intend there to be no open doors for Congress to circumvent the Constitution? |

When all three branches operate OUTSIDE Constitutional bounds, then the final arbiter of freedom is private ownership of firearms to bring the branches back into compliance with the "Law Of The Land"--i.e. the Constitution.
1. Unconstitutional laws, statutes and ordninances are too numerous to keep track of. 2. The SCOTUS is NOT overturning these Unconstitutional "laws", statutes and ordinances 3. The Executive branch is not only doing nothing about the proliferation of these abominations, but the Executive is enacting abominations of its own that are outside of the Constitution/BOR 4. The Jury box is not negating these Unconstitutional actions and the shortcomings of the other two branches. Hell, Most juries are not even instructed that they have a DUTY and an OBLIGATION to judge not only the charges, but the legality of the law/statute/ordinance allegedly being broken. Sure, I hear the cries from those of you who give control of your lives to something/someone other than yourselves--"Well, then vote the bastards out and vote new folks in" to correct the problem. Done it. Voting a new cast of players in hasn't changed the steady flow of anti-life, anti-freedom legislation coming out. Also hasn't changed the broken state in which the remaining branches are currently in. |

Here we go again... what, exactly is a "reasonable person" in this context? I doubt it's who you think it is- it's not you, that's for sure. It's the above-mentioned Joe Six-pack, who, if asked, would totally support a ban on fully automatic weapons. At the same time, this "reasonable person" would also completely support ALMOST ANY law enforcement efforts to rid the world of these evil weapons. Remember, we gunnuts are a minority, and all you so-called Constitutional "experts" are a minority amng gun owners. And those willing to wantonly murder law enforcement officers to protect what you think are your Constitutional rights are an even smaller minority still. That's one reason why there will NEVER be any revolution, just alot of wasted lives. |

To those who say - "Just go to court".
What happens when you go to court and you lose against a corrupt judiciary who are judging wholly unconstitutional laws passed by an elected legislature and enforced by a tyrannical executive? Well of course that means some kind of uprising. And that of course means acting against those who enforce those laws - i.e. LEO. In short, the people are the final arbiters of what is constitutional or not. That is why we have a Second Amendment. I don't really understand why anyone would have an issue with this scenario. This is what happened in the Revolution - citizens fired upon agents of their lawful goverment with intent to kill them in order to destroy a Govt. that was acting in a wholly tyrannical manner. When one person does it - they are usually killed rather quickly by said Govt. When many act in concert (i.e. the Militia) they can do some damage and hopefully preserve liberty. This is why LEO's have no duty to obey an illegal order. The wholesale confiscation of guns would be a patently illegal order. As such any LEO who participates in such activity should logically expect to get shot. The final arbiter of what is or isn't constitutional is the people. SCOTUS can and does make mistakes - e.g. the Dred Scott decision. When they rule on the Second Amendment - we shall see if they err again. If they err and decide that the keeping and bearing of arms is a 'collective right' - that does not mean they are correct. They would still be wrong and many people might die trying to enforce confiscation - and they would deserve such deaths. Infact, if 99% of the population decided that we didn't have free speech anymore and got the legislature to pass laws suspending free speech and SCOTUS supported it - the law would still be Null and Void because we do not live in a democracy and no amount of people can nullify an unalienable right. Period. Of course if 99% of folks supported such a law, then one would probably die resisting it. But killing the agents of tyranny before you died would still not be morally wrong. |

Nobody in _YOUR STATE HERE_ is killing LEOs over the various gun laws enacted by the states or feds... have they? Again, I'll ask: when does this stop being all theoretical and become put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is real? 6shooter - ever feel like you're gonna just totally flip out sometimes? |

The constitution says we the people, not we the judges of the supreme court. The people are the final judge of what is and what is not constitutional. There are three branches of government but all three are responsible to the fourth - the people. Because the supremes say something is constitutional does not necessarily mean it is, the final verdict is for us to decide.
The supreme court could very well rule that the 2nd Amendment is a collective right, not an individual right, which anyone with two brain cells and lacking in leftist agenda knows is horseshit. If they do that are we to simply accept is as constitutional because SCOTUS says it is when we know damn well that's not true? |

Give me a Fucking Break! Were 13 damn days into the month and this numbnuts is already up to 40 posts. Don't you remember the last bag of crap that had this track record? Its right in front of our faces; it's Blaze-O-Glory's twin shithead brother.
And Philadelphia, raise a weapon against me and I'll drill you dead. I don't give a crap if the law is "unconstitutional" until some white shirt says "Uhh Hey, were not taking weapons today." (Now this is simplified, but that's so your adolescent brain can comprende.) And as for the Constitution; you wont' have shit for standing to bring a justiciable suit lying in a chalk outline on the deck. On top of that, when an LEO goes and takes a weapon, its the prerogative of THAT owner to sue. You don't have a snowballs chance in hell of bringing a suit on behalf of them unless you want to start a class action but hey, you got the balls to be your own lawyer so start the paperwork up on that right away. So buck up little soldier and take the LSAT. I'll make sure to write a recommendation to one of those fine "private" law schools in CA. which will surely admit you granting you provide them the funds. Oh, and don't think your going to get it from your stellar winnings at the hands of the SC because you won't see a dime. (Maybe you'll learn why your first year.) (Fuck I'm pissed!!!!) |
