Respect for the "law"
by Ed Lewis
"If you have 10,000 regulations, you destroy all respect for the law."
- Winston Churchill
Strange that Mr. Churchill thought 10,000 regulations would destroy all respect for the law. Wonder what he would think of a country that has - what - maybe 2,000,000 regulations?
One might think that legislators in the United States and the united States of America have nothing to do but make regulations. That is their job but regulations regulating what?
Is it their job to determine what is best for we individual American Citizens? Or is it their job to make regulations regulating the regulators, to manage the finances lawfully gained, and those who knowingly and willingly volunteer to be regulated as in becoming franchised?
There are currently - or so one reads in many sources - 20,000 regulations covering firearms. And, if many ignorant people have their way, one final regulation will eventually be made - complete confiscation.
Are any of the regulations "law"?
Well, the Constitution for the United States of American says "no". The constitutions for the many states say "no". If fact, no regulation about firearms is "law". Why aren't they? It is because no regulation in opposition to the Constitution is law - it is null and void from its inception. This has been ruled many times in dozens of cases and is stated clearly in American Jurisprudence but anti-gun factions don't really care about the Constitution, justice, nor the positive effect firearms have against crime and - supposedly - tyranny.
Read these cites from cases that have never been overturned. Such are important because States and political subdivisions in writing unconstitutional ordinances take their lead from whatever the federal government gets by with. This includes such things as income tax, property tax, firearm regulations, invasive city ordinances on private property, invasive ordinances on family life, and etcetera.
"... The United States has no constitutional capacity to exercise municipal jurisdiction, sovereignty or eminent domain, within the limits of a state or elsewhere, except in the cases in which it is expressly granted..." [Pollard v. Hagan, 44 U.S.C. 212, 221, 223]
"... the states are separate sovereigns with respect to the federal government." [Heath v. Alabama. 474 U.S. 82]
What these cites mean is that the federal government has specified jurisdiction and that no regulation made by Congress can apply outside that jurisdiction.
So, in the matter of firearm regulations, none apply outside the jurisdiction of the federal government. This jurisdiction includes within the District of Columbia, federal employees working within the states (what the heck are they doing outside their jurisdiction/), federal enclaves including military posts, and territories of the United States, including the States of the United States (island states, not the states of the union).
Can a state make any regulation concerning firearms? Nope. Each agreed to abide by the Constitution and Article VI assures this. They have no more authority to break the supreme law of the land and the regulations meant to govern all artificial entities than we do to break the law of not interfering with the rights of others (the only crime we can actually commit is to harm another natural person or his property).
We must understand that the key to controlling government is to control government.
The people elected to serve us are elected to serve us, not special interest groups.
Their job is to assure that government does not infringe upon unalienable rights.
However, government has done what should never have been permitted - it has established false governments - de facto governments - that are applying Admiralty law (law of the high seas) on our soil and equity law when no contract exists between Americans and the government. Any valid contract must be entered into willingly, knowingly, and voluntarily.
The government (all levels) has also done the same as has been done by every tyrant - it uses force to make people comply with its edicts.
Thus, we have "Don't obey our firearm regulations and we'll take all your valuable firearms, accuse you of being an illegal firearms dealer, drug dealer or terrorist, and then throw your butt in jail, fine you, take your home, and all your belongings."
