FIRE Coalition News
http://firecoalition.com/article/index.asp?type=announce&id=126Much like Marie-Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI, the Obama Administration
has told Montana and Tennessee they have no rights; in essence, ""Let
them eat cake.""
The ATF has issued letters to Montana and
Tennessee telling them the laws they each passed governing firearms
manufactured for sale within their sovereign state borders are moot.
The
federal government seems to believe that federal law trumps states'
rights, individual rights, and the Constitution, the very contract
between the sovereign states to LIMIT the abuses of a federal
government!
This may sound insane, but it is REAL. View both letters at the official government ATF site for yourself.
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/071709-tennessee-openletter.pdfhttp://www.atf.gov/firearms/071709-montana-openletter.pdfThe Obama Administration seems to believe the ""Interstate Commerce Clause"" trumps the 2nd and 10th Amendments.
In case you don't have an Ivy League law degree, worry not, the Bill of Rights was written in simple, plain English.
Any
honest lawyer wouldn't even remotely try to twist the meaning of simple
English into some perverted lawyer-speak to justify an
un-Constitutional power grab by the federal government.
If you
continue to sit on your butts and allow this to happen, then you can
""bank"" on this ""stimulating"" the Obama Administration into coming
after the rest of your God-given rights, such as the freedom of speech
guaranteed by the 1st Amendment, or your protections against
unreasonable search and seizure, as guaranteed in the 4th Amendment, or
perhaps your right to not be forced to testify against yourself, as
guaranteed by the 5th Amendment.
Some of this stuff started long
before Obama came into office. George Bush was no different. Neither of
these usurpers give a crap about individual rights, or the Constitution.
The
Founding Fathers warned us about giving up a little liberty for a
little security. They warned us that if we did that, we would end up
with, and deserve NEITHER!
The progressive socialists running
the U.S. Senate, aka the Democrat Party are poised to confirm a judge
to the Supreme Court that summarily rejected the pleas of citizens who
were being directly discriminated against, and who refused to
acknowledge under oath that the 2nd Amendment guarantees you and I the
""fundamental right"" to protect ourselves, even in our own homes.
There's
an old adage out there that says ""When the 1st Amendment fails, use
the 2nd."" What happens when you have NO 2nd Amendment rights?
What happens when the 1st Amendment is trampled, AND you have NO 2nd Amendment rights?
Benjamin
Franklin warned us with these words over 200 years ago: ""A great
empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.""
The
federal government has been nibbling away at the Constitution for 100
years. Now, under the Obama Administration, they are gorging themselves
on OUR RIGHTS, and when states and citizens complain, Congress and the
rogue Obama Administration say, ""Stop nibbling. Let them eat cake.""
Patrick Henry, in his famous speech said the following that still applies today:
""It
is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace,
Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale
that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of
resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we
here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is
life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!""
-Patrick Henry, 1775
If you aren't on the phone screaming at
your Congressman and Senator to stop this TREASON, then you are
cowards, and deserve what you get.
