Patriot's Lament April 27, 2013: When The Bomb Went Off and Onerous Gun Laws

Matt Want joins us again, and along with Claudio, we discuss the Boston bombing, and more to the point, the terrorist State, and the actions that they took in shutting down Boston.
It's funny, Boston went along with its life after the bombing, it was actually the State that shut it down looking for the accused bomber.

Patriot's Lament January 12, 2013: Coming for Guns and Stand Up for Vets

In this episode we talk more about the state "coming for our guns", and about soldiers with PTSD. We talk about Rights, and whether or not one can even give up their Rights voluntarily, and read John Lockes view on the State trying to infringe on them.

Patriot's Lament January 5, 2013: Fundamental Problem and Legitimacy Through Uniforms

In this program we ask if our Right to keep Arms has actually become a stumbling block to our Liberty. Have we done nothing because we fall back on our Arms, though we have never used them? We also talk about how even the most worthless person becomes a god when he puts on a costume,(uniform) and can get away with whatever he pleases because of the supposed legitimacy of the State.

Our Enemy, The State

I know I have used this headline before, but, read the story and you will more than likely agree, it's the correct heading.
From Will Grigg's Pro Libertate:

Police Chief Ed Flynn of Milwaukee believes that his department is at war with the gun-owning public. In his February 27 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Flynn claimed that “in the last 20 years we’ve been in an arms race” with private citizens who supposedly out-gun the police. 

Flynn testified in support of a proposed federal ban on so-called assault weapons. But in the past he has made it clear that he considers a Mundane carrying a firearm of any kind is an unlawful enemy combatant subject to detention and forcible disarmament. 

“My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ground, take the gun away, and then decide whether you have a right to carry it,” Flynn said a few years ago in response to a statement from Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen recognizing that residents of the state have a right to carry firearms openly. 

Grigg goes on to quote the great Albert Jay Nock; ""Everyone knows that the State claims and exercises [a] monopoly of crime ... and that it makes this monopoly as strict as it can…. It punishes private theft, but itself lays unscrupulous hands on anything it wants, whether the property of citizen or of alien.... Of all the crimes that are committed for gain or revenge, there is not one that we have not seen it commit – murder, mayhem, arson, robbery, fraud, criminal collusion and connivance."

Patriot's Lament December 29, 2012: John Locke and Obey The Law

In this episode we talk about 17th century classical Liberals John Locke, and Algernon Sidney, and the importance of their contribution to Libertarian Revolutionary thought. We also talk about America's heritage of being a free thinking people, and one of secession from injustice and tyranny. We also talk about gun laws and the Right to Keep and Bear arms, and the real reason for that Right. It doesn't come from the 2nd amendment folks. In the second hour we discuss positive laws and how the State excuses themselves from the laws they impose on us mere serfs. Enjoy!

Law abiding citizen

I am sick of the term "law abiding citizen" and I am especially sick of it when used in reference to gun rights and gun control.
What does having the Right to defend yourself have to do with some State deciding whether or not you deserve that right based on how law abiding you are to its edicts and proclamations?
If the State says that guns are now illegal, and to own one would be to break the law, are you going to be a law abiding citizen then? What if the State, which is nothing more than a gang of thieves, is unethical; am I still supposed to be a law abiding citizen?
My Right to defend myself, my family, and my property predates the State. The 2nd amendment didn't invent the Right to be armed, it was already known that one had the Right to be armed.
What gives an illegitimate State the Right to say that only "law abiding citizens" can be armed? Abiding by what laws? Whose laws? The State's arbitrary law that merely is intended to enslave us?
Quit using that term. It's another way of saying law abiding serfs.
 Boot licking slaves.
You think when the colonist revolted against the King he thought that they were law abiding citizens? Should they have been disarmed because of it? Should they ever have been allowed to be armed?
Following the regulations, statutes and political laws of a State has nothing to do with the Right to be Armed.
Our Right to be armed is specifically to resist an overpowering and corrupt State; secondly, for personal self- defense, and lastly to be able to feed ourselves by hunting.
We know why Patrick Henry cherished the rifle.
An armed people.
Not a "Law abiding citizen".

The Second Amendment Was Never About Personal Protection

By David Kramer from Lew Rockwell.com.

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with personal protection. Owning a gun back in colonial times was like owning a knife and fork. The idea of needing a law to protect one's right to own a gun would be as ridiculous back then as the idea of needing a law to protect one's right to own a knife and fork would seem ridiculous to us today. In fact, a number of colonies had laws requiring one to own a gun.
The Second Amendment is about the right of the people to form a militia to fight Federal government tyranny. That being said, the FIRST sort of weapon to do that today would be an assault weapon, i.e., NOT a .38 caliber pistol. So EVERYONE—including the NRA—is wrong when they claim that the Federal government can ban (or even regulate) assault weapons. It would be like Hitler claiming he had the right to ban or regulate the U.S. military during WWII, i.e., telling the U.S. military which weapons it could and could not use against the Wehrmacht.
The fact that the Federal government does regulate firearms is just one more glaring proof that the U.S. Constitution is meaningless. It also proves that government itself—because it is a forced monopoly of force—will always become more and more abusive and tyrannical as time goes on.
Let's hear it for voluntaryism.
UPDATE: My libertarian friend David Sack sent me this:

"Someone at the office asked me, yesterday, what type of “arms” I thought the Second Amendment protects. The answer to that is those arms of the same caliber and quantity as the armed federal officers who come to your door have."

Patriot's Lament July 28, 2012: Who Is The State and Firearms And Freedom

In this episode we talk about the non-existent being called the state. Who is the state? Government. What is this being? Is it you? Does he/it exist? Are you the government? No. Of course you are not. In the second hour we discuss guns and whether or not they are tools we would use to secure our freedom, or are they a fool's tool, used for bravado. 
Not if they come for my guns!! Really?

Ready,Aim...Submit!! By Jeff Berwick

It’s funny, because the pro-gun crowd says that guns are inanimate objects that can’t hurt anyone by themselves when they are arguing with anti-gun types, but don’t want to own up to the fact that the same inanimate object cannot make them free.

For a gun to work, you have to pick it up and pull the trigger.

Here are a few tidbits of the article.

"Many stated, "when the time comes we will fight and win."  To this, my question is, what are you waiting for?  You say you believe in freedom and will fight to the death for it.  Well... you live in one of the least free countries on Earth currently.  Only Cuba, North Korea and perhaps Belarus are noticeably worse.  The government extorts you for half your income every year.  They are already running massive prison camps where people get hauled off daily for non-crimes (no victim, no crime).  The US has the largest amount of people in cages in the world by a factor of nearly 4 times over the next closest on a per capita basis."

"The funny part is that the slaves will crow, proudly, how they are "allowed" to have guns.  They'll state, "I would never live in Mexico, you aren't allowed to have guns their."  That's slave talk.  Free men don't care what is allowed."

"In fact, of almost any country, the people in the US are the most servile and submissive when it comes to the police and government.  There are countless YouTube videos of the police in the US beating innocent people brutally and all the people around them do is say things like, "Sir!  Sir, please stop!!  Sir, stop!"  Slave talk." 

"The fact of the matter is that most people today are whipped dogs compared to even a few decades ago.  In the 1960s, people were much more willing to react violently in response to government actions.  Back then, there were citywide riots in multiple places across the USA.  Today, Occupy Wall Street gets told they must stay in a special free-speech designated park and after a few months they all just go home.
Left-wing groups like the Weather Underground would bomb the capitol building, the pentagon and the Department of State building and claimed they wanted to overthrow the government (possibly in the form of Barack Obomber, they are now succeeding). There were widespread student protests. Today?  Nothing.  Only one person has done anything violent to the US Goverment in the last decade and he wasn't even American. Hero, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, threw a shoe at George W. Bush in 2008 stating, "This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog."
