Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
“Shall not be infringed” apparently comes with an asterisk. Sure, you can keep the rifle—we’ll just regulate the powder, primers, ammunition, and everything else required to make it go bang. Maryland’s five-pound smokeless-powder limit raises a much bigger constitutional question: Can government regulate around the Second Amendment by controlling what makes an arm functional?
The Fudd isn’t simply an old guy with a walnut-stocked deer rifle. He’s the gun owner who says, “I support the Second Amendment, but nobody needs *that*.” From $20,000 shotguns to $500 AR-15s—and even the infamous “full semi-automatic”—America’s gun culture has spent decades learning that somebody else’s firearm doesn’t become less protected just because you don’t like it. Beware: the Fudd isn’t extinct. He’s evolved. And kids, you’re using the word wrong.
There is nothing like living in a dictatorship to appreciate the significance of our precious Bill of Rights. This photo of yours truly was taken in 1973 when, along with the protection of my American passport, I resided in the Republic of China (Taiwan) while it was under Chiang’s dictatorship.
In Oregon, if you accidentally spill a cup of coffee on a book written by a black author you have committed either a “bias incident” or a “hate crime.” This is an example the hotline website uses as something that should be reported. If the book was written by a white author, the State of Oregon could care less. The clumsy person will not be put on “The List.”
Ever wonder how Trudeau could freeze bank accounts of Canadians protesting his Covid lockdown? Or, how a British mother can be thrown in prison for complaining online about a Muslim who slaughtered 3 girls? Because, neither country has a Bill of Rights which protects Freedom of Speech.
I consider a Cashless Society, AKA Digital Currency, to be the end all and be all of Totalitarianism. THIS is the civil rights issue of our time.
