Rally For "Illegal" Guns

In a rally targeting NYC Mayor Michael Blowhard, World Net Daily reports:


Protesters carried giant-size cutouts of guns as they rallied yesterday in New York City in support of the constitutional right to bear arms, which, they say, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to destroy.

"He's attacking our gun rights under the guise of attacking illegal guns and crime," Nic Leobold, an organizer for the event held outside the gates of City Hall in downtown Manhattan, told WND.

"Tens of thousands of New Yorkers actually own guns which are not registered and are therefore so-called illegal. But these people are not criminals, nor are they violent, they are respectable, responsible citizens and residents who want a dependable way to protect themselves and their loved ones," Leobold said.


Well . . . actually, Leobold, those "tens of thousands of New Yorkers [who] actually own guns" ARE criminals. Rightly or wrongly, if the NY laws say you must register your guns or be licensed to own them, and you don't or aren't, you're a criminal. The way to correct that sorry situation isn't to break the law, it's to work to change the law so your rights are restored.

I'm with Martin Luther King on this one: Moral men don't obey immoral laws- which nearly all gun laws are. I'm VERY happy to see folks protesting IN NYC. They ought to! It MIGHT help change these immoral, racist, unconstitutional, (and therefore illegal) laws.

Ditto. Remember "Civil Disobedience"? I often wonder just how many people in CCW states refuse to obtain permits(and carry anyway), because of constitutional beliefs.I do. Who else will admit to it?

You are also not allowed to drive at over 65 mph on rt. 495. What's the difference? Jack.

Aye, there's nothing stronger than arresting and trying a man who committed the crime of defending his family.

Well... actually, Jeff, from the Sixteenth American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177:

The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having formed in nature of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose, since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment and not merely from the date of decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law in legal contemplation is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection and justifies no acts performed under it.No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.


Furthermore 18 USC 242 says that Bloomberg and his ilk are the criminals.

Not that we can get the Federal prosecutors to enforce this law or avoid jail and an extremely expensive and probably losing battle were we to get caught violating Bloomberg's invalid laws, but still that is the way it reads.

robert said it for me. Gunner is acting like me. I refuse to ask for permission to do what is my right to do. As to how I go about, my business alone.

Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
