To Calif. Gov 6.6.2014

To those that oppose freedom: Senate Bill 53 - pass this and I'll simply drive to Arizona to buy ammo.  And what kind of exception are you going to give shooting ranges?  Probably none, if that's the case, I'll drive to Arizona to shoot as well.  end result: California loses revenue and thus tax money.  genius! Assembly Bill 1964 - California's absurd choices about what it considers a safe gun are a ridiculous anomaly in human intellect.  Such laws by their nature imply that people whom make things that the Holy State disagrees with are some how less human if not down right evil.  Absurd.   If you pass such laws, I'll buy a drill press and make my own parts. Senate Bill 199 -- BB guns? seriously, you guys have lost the plot. Senate Bill 808 - Pass it, see if I show to register or participate in it.  How would you know?  Frankly, this is a Molon Labe moment if ever there were.  You obviously have zero general idea of the Nature of...

In answer to Emeryville's Ken James - Guns defensive or offensive

Watch the video at youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdqWI8HCNf8 Police Chief Ken James of Emeryville California had some interesting words for we fellow individuals. He said, "The idea that a gun is a defensive weapon is a myth. A gun is not a defensive weapon. A gun is an offensive weapon used to intimidate and used to show power.  Police officers do not carry a gun as a defensive weapon, to defend themselves or their other officers.  They carry a gun to be able to do their job in a safe and effective manner." IS A GUN DEFENSIVE or OFFENSIVE? The quality and disposition of inanimate objects is directly related to the condition to which it becomes animated.  That is to say, no object of itself can have an emotional state.  One can not apply an emotional adjective.  Imagine if we pulled some other random adjective's out of a hat and applied them to a firearm: "The idea that a gun is a Happy weapon is a myth." "The idea that a gun is a Troubl...

The Fallicy of Restrictions on Property

Let us assume some objects of argument, to avoid conflict in the text. These are assumptions based on the arguments against liberty we hear from the Statists: Government believes that it is sworn to first and foremost protect society at large. Government assumes that public safety supersedes all other forms of Liberty (their logic is that without public safety there is no society and thus no 'real' Liberty... see other papers about Liberty to understand why the government’s argument is false) Government gives itself the authority to determine the nature and validation of what exactly is public safety and thus leaves it to those it punishes (we individuals) to prove the law wrong (at exorbitant costs mind you) Society tends to over-inflate their fears of their fellow man and thus, easily demonize each other. -- I will digress here a moment and explain: Imagine running into a person and asking them, "Do you feel that anyone should be allowed to have hands or f...

“Magazines greater than 10 rounds are for terrorists and gangsters” -- Untruth

“Magazines greater than 10 rounds are for terrorists and gangsters” There are many issues that fall outside logic here. Law Enforcement  The most obvious distinction is: What about those put in charge of enforcing legislative actions?* Do they also qualify as “Terrorists and gangsters” or do those whom that have been called law enforcement, military, federal agents, etc, get a special convenience? I suppose by the above statement the logic would be, “well, they need more rounds to fight against the terrorists that are breaking the law!” Thus:  Creating Class System  I shall explain this by analogy. If we take the same distinction of how things are held and the use of a magazine to simplify holding ammunition, then let us assume that instead of bullets we are talking about dollars and instead of magazines we are talking about the size of the bill and that terrorists and gangsters are replaced with some other ‘corporate’ villain. So to restate the above: ...

Food as a Right?

There is a debate afoot that indicates Healthcare as a right and does so by equating it to food. The argument is that food is a right as is health(care). Some of the arguments limit the word to simply Health and some extend it to healthcare. It seems to me that the logical disconnect is occurring at the level of the definition of the words. Let us start with the definition of food. Food is a Right? What is food exactly? I will explain food below, but let’s see what food as a right could mean: The statement food is a right, could be saying one of two things: 1. The living thing involved is going to use its own energy to capture, purchase, create, an object that can be consumed by the body for nourishment. This object, will require the individual living thing to use time, energy and other resources in its possession to do this. In other words, it will use its own Life (time energy), and Liberty (the ability to make decisions for the self) to add objects to its Estate. Combin...

The Value, nay, Necessity of Voting Other Party

I often get into this argument about voting, what others call, third party. The general argument that is presented is that in order to make a difference one is simply wasting their vote if they vote for any other contender than the two individuals standing for the two so-called opposite parties. If, for example the voter is a communist they are best to side with the democrat, because at least some of their views are reflected and some of their hopes and opinions for the future are going to make it and, god willing, sometime in the glorious unfurled future of mankind all of the communist’s views will eventually climb from the shadows and bask in the wondrous sunshine. But that’s just pie in the sky hogwash and worse, leaves the values and opinions of the so-called voter to not only others, but those possible beings years from now. Talk about a cop-out and leaving the weight of ones life on the shoulders of your children. Isn't it bad enough we leave them with our debt? Those...

10 rnd magazines, a failure in logic.

10 Round Magazines A Failure in Logic (or how Legislators refute science, just like in the middle ages) Modern firearms are so designed to be rather modular. Take for example the AR-15. The so called ‘assault weapon’. The commercially available version only fires every time you pull the trigger. Just like any other firearm. It is no different than the 10/22 made by Ruger in function. It is no different than the Ruger mini-14, the Browning BAR, or the Remington 750. They all fire comparable bullets at varying speeds at the same rate: As fast as you can pull the trigger. The only real difference is that the AR (That is the Armalite platform – AR is short for Armalite) was designed so that if some object in the gun failed, broke, or needed updated or changing it could be done by the owner and not require a gunsmith to make the changes. This idea, that is creating a modular rifle, changed the way firearms were manufactured. No longer was the entire metal object of the gun f...
