9th Circuit Court Trashes 2d Amendment

9th Circuit Court Trashes 2d Amendment

In a decision that annihilates the 2d Amendment, the federal
9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in _Hickman v. Block_
that a "plain reading" of the Second Amendment reveals that the
true intent of the Amendment was only to protect a right of the
states to maintain militias and not to protect an individual right.
The Lawyers' Sec-ond Amendment Society (LSAS) views the
decision as a very bad and very significant one that needs to be
appealed, and is now attempting to raise the $50,000 needed to
appeal the case to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, it is
attempting to get a rehearing en banc, by the full 9th Circuit
Court to review the opinion that was issued by a 3 judge panel.
LSAS noted that the opinion was fraught with factual errors that
reveal the poor scholarship of the judges who wrote it. For
example, LSAS pointed out footnote 10 of the opinion, where
the court stated "the Second Amendment is not incorporated
into the Bill of Rights." !!! (The first 10 amendments *are* the
Bill of Rights). Furthermore, in its discussion of the _US v.
Miller_ case, LSAS noted that "the Court in Hickman did not
carefully read _Miller_ because it erroneously stated Miller had
been convicted at trial, rather than acquitted, and that Miller,
rather than the U.S., was the appellant." LSAS feels the
time is ripe for a Second Amendment case to be brought before
the Supreme Court, which has been dodging the issue for many
years. It feels that Hickman is the case. In it's latest newsletter,
LSAS argued:

We actually have little to lose by appealing. As it is, Congress,
the courts, and most legislatures are already proceeding on the
assumption that the Second Amendment protects only a "state's
right." This is why we have some 20,000 gun control laws
nationwide, including the Brady law and the "assault weapon:
ban. If we lose, then we are merely back where we started;
namely, in the political arena where such national groups as the
NRA have proven so effective. . . . On the other hand, if we
win the benefits are myriad. In a nutshell, a win would cut off
gun control at the knees. . . .

The LSAS is soliciting donations for this effort of $5.00 per
person. Send checks payable to "The LSAS Trust Fund" to
18034 Ventura Blvd., #329, Encino, CA 91316.

LSAS email alerts can be obtained by writing LS...@aol.com.

Where was this "LSAS" group when the Fresno ruling
was handed down, and why did they not make any effort
to appeal it?

Too late, now, of course - the filing deadline has expired....

(Indeed, where was the NRA through all this? Odd that they
should brag about how they "stand up for the 2d Amendment",
and yet do nothing as gun control laws are repeatedly affirmed
in court case after court case....)

Larry(s), why can't the NRA fund this? $50,000? Heck, I'd bet Wayne
LaPierre spends more than $50,000 on greens fees in three months. The NRA
probably spends more than $50,000 on espresso and biscotti at their Waples
Mills offices in a month.

Do note - the 9th Circuit Court has a very long record of having more of
its rulings overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court than any other Circuit
Court. Now that's a record no court should be proud of.

"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary
citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State."

-- Heinrich Himmler

"All military type firearms are to be handed in immediately ... The SS, SA
and Stahlhelm give every respectable German man the opportunity of
campaigning with them. Therefore anyone who does not belong to one of the
above named organizations and who unjustifiably nevertheless keeps his
weapon ... must be regarded as an enemy of the national government."
-- SA Oberfuhrer of Bad Tolz, March, 1933.

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the
subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have
allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall
by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a
sine qua non ["something essential" lit. "without which not"] for the
overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or
police."
Hitler's Secret Conversations - 1941-1944
Farrar, Straus and Young - 1953

Yes indeed, Gail, "Buddy", JadeGold,and Holman are keeping "fine company",
the company of thugs and mass murderers. But then thugs are the blood

He wasn't. He was pointing out that the "We love the state"
crowd believes that only the government should be armed -- like
a certain other political movement.

I remember just a few years ago when you couldn't be a real
liberal unless you called anyone to the right of George McGovern
a "fascist" or a "Nazi."

What? Where in the world did he call the National Guard and US armed
forces Nazis? He was pointing out the extreme similarity between one
statement made recently, and one made 60 years ago by a Nazi. I _am_ a
veteran, and I find the original remark to be offensive, not the response
quoting Himmler (There's a lot more just like that from that time and
place...).

Jade, you are the one who believes that everything should serve the
state, that one should join the National Guard if one wishes to
be able to shoot firearms. At a philosophical level you would not
be in any disagreement with the likes of Heinrich Himmler who
believed that people existed to serve the state. You are kin.

If this is the case, why did the Senate defeat a change to the second
amendment that would have added, "for the common defense" to the "right of the
people to keep and bear arms". Why would some of the proposed amendments,
which where distilled into the second amendment, contain references to "any
lawfull purpose" and one even contain the phrase "for ...hunting" while
another stat the right was to arms "for defense of themselves and the state".
?

If they'd meant the power of the states to maintin an armed militia, they
would have written that. Some of the proposed amendments had such language.
They were distilled into the phrase, "A well regulated militia being necessary
to the security of a free state"

the National Guard and the other armed services in the U.S. are
capable of genocidal murder.

I do not believe that anyone seriously considers disarming the
American people for any reason, never mind for setting up a fascist
state that would commit genocide. Or that any armed service member
would go along with such a scheme.

This thread is about the meaning of the Second Amendment. JadeGold
and most citizens and most courts agree. If you and Larry find that
offensive, I am sorry. I don't know if he/she is actually proposing to
disarm everyone but for those people. If she is, I would suggest that
you find some way to argue with him/her without using a Nazi analogy.

Show me the exact quote with the legitimate source. I have asked

And I have several books on the Holocaust and find no trace of it.

I am not lying. I made an inference. If he using a fake quote from a
Nazi to the effect that the only thing that stands between us and
a genocidal, fascist government and it's armed forces, than I would
like to know why. (also this thread is not about gun-grabbing; JadeGold
disagrees with his interpretation--he clipped the part of the post
that made that clear. So, I am suggesting he is editing the post to
cast aspersions, then backs it up with a quote he has never
substantiated)

The logical fallacy of the "appeal to authority" is the claim that
A is true because B says it is so and B is an authority. One may
feel that something is more likely to be true because an authority
says it is, but logically that is irrelevant.

I have cited this fallacy several times. In all cases I have done so
when the poster seemed to be saying that something is true because
an authority says it is so.

I hope that helps you clear up your thinking on this matter.

Actually, the anti's set the rules of "appealing to authority" in
citing the appeals court cases. We just Trump 'em by appealing to the
ultimate authority, the guys who wrote the Bill of Rights and their
contemporaries.

Reminds me of a scene from "Annie Hall". While waiting in a theator
ticket line, a long-winded academic type is spouting forth about what
Marschall McLuhan really means. Woody Allen pulls the real Marschall
McLuhan out from behind a movie poster. McLuhan then tells the academic
type he has everything completely wrong. Loved it.

You've read all the statutes of Nazi-era Germany and the former Soviet
Union? I'm impressed. Original language, or translation? Across the
entire scope of the history of these regimes, or at some specific
given time? In this day and age, unless you're a historian with a
special research interest in such things, that's quite an
accomplishment!

What a remarkable insight: regimes that routinely imprisoned and
executed persons for engaging in politically disruptive speech and
writings had no real problem with their ownership of firearms! This
changes my entire perspective, though I'll have to give it some more
thought. I just hope I'm not in for another disappointment like
the time I found out the USSR Constitution's protections of free
speech and assembly didn't have any real meaning in practice.

Ahhhh. This clears it up. You don't have the same definition of the
word "reading" the rest of us do. I have "examined and grasped the
meaning of" the documents you adduce and they support no such
interpretation, except the "standing army" part. Anti-federalists and
federalists alike were united on the issue of private ownership of
firearms, however: they were very, very much in favor of it, and not
only in the context of the "militia."

I am always happy to disseminate facts in such debates when they are
at my disposal, and to incorporate new ones into my thinking when
appropriate. Perhaps you can specify the relevant portions of the
Framers' writings that led you to the conclusions you draw above, and
we can go from there.

I am not implying. I am saying it. It is an established fact of
history that Americans, just like a lot of other peoples, are
quite _capable_ of genocide. Ever hear of Wounded Knee?

>I do not believe that anyone seriously considers disarming the

HCI and others of their ilk have said quite plainly that that

In fact there are people in our armed services right now who
would do _just_ like German soldiers and "follow orders".
For me this is not theory. I have personally seen some service
members say exactly that, they would fire on American citizens
if ordered to do so. Period.

>I would suggest that you find some way to argue with him/her

Why? It is absolutely apropos. JadeGold is saying exactly the
same thing that Nazis said years ago, the only legitimate
"bearing of arms" is in defense of the state. JadeGold is
profoundly a statist, a collectivist, and ultimately
the philosophical blood brother of murderers.

Did you know that Heinrich Himmler found it difficult to
view the "camps". It did upset him. But he had his ideal
to follow. The JadeGolds of this world may not want to create
a world where "camps" become possibilities, but reality is
what it is, and what they stand for is exactly what makes
"camps" possible.

An extremely stupid inference. A classic case of not being
able to see the forest for the trees. Is this what passes
for being educated these days?

The Himmler quote, and a quote that was given to me by a Jewish
friend in the gun rights movement (and as far as I know it is
valid), went:

"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA -
ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't
serve the State."

Says one thing, and one thing only -- one can have and use
firearms _only_ in the service of the state.

JadeGold's quote:

"Respect the second amendment? Then join the National Guard or
one of the armed services."

Says exactly the same thing. That is why I say that at heart
JadeGold is a statist and a collectivist.

>If he using a fake quote from a
>Nazi to the effect that the only thing that stands between us and

No, I am saying that the one thing that protects us against a
fascist (totalitarian) government and it's army is an armed
populace. That is exactly what the founders thought, said, and
wrote time and time again. That is what the 2nd Amendment is
about and that is another example of the anti-gunloons not being
able to see the forest for the trees.

No, he wasn't, and I still can't understand how you read that into his
response. Your suggestion that if someone wants to shoot guns, they ought
to join the National Guard or Army, sounds _exactly_ like Himmler's
similar suggestion. What he is saying, since analogy is apparently beyond
you, is that there was another time and place where one had to join a
military or paramilitary organization to shoot firearms. A time and place
we have great reason to abhor.

I suppose you missed Diane Feinstein's "60 Minutes" interview? Or never
listened to Charles Schumer? There's more than a few others that have
expressed that very wish. You yourself, in fact. "If you wish to shoot
firearms, join the NAtional Guard or Army."

If you want to know the meaning of the 2nd Amendment, try reading both
the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, as well as the debates about
the constitution. Then you will know what the framers _intended_,
regardless of what modern judges with agendas more pressing than their
constitutional duties might say. One hardly needs to be a lawyer to know
what the framers meant, and that is exactly what they intended when they
wrote it.

Mitchell,
You know very well that I did not "equate National Guardsmen to Nazis".
I most certainly didn't equate the National Guards with "American
Revolutionaries". If anything just the opposite on that last.
I would have at least believed you were honestly confused if you
had accused me of equating the National Guard to "lobsterbacks"
(assuming of course that you actually know what that term refers
to).

I at first thought that people like you and Gail were reasonably
intelligent even if you are on the wrong side. But Gail first
missed the entire point and similiarly accused me of comparing the
National Guard to Nazis. Now you think I am comparing the National
Guard with American revolutionaries? I may have been mistaken when
I first assumed you and Gail at least were perceptive.

You want sources?

Start with the JPFO.
(They now have a web site: http://www.mcs.net/~lpyleprn/jpfo.html)

Start with the books _Lethal Laws_ and _"Gun Control": The Gateway to Tyranny_.

I did not say that. You may have a problem reading attributions. I have
heard Senator Feinstein rue that guns existed (because she catapulted to
Mayor of San Francisco through the gun murders of Harvey Milk and
George Moscone by a fellow supervisor--she discovered the bodies) in
a "if wishes were horses" statement. And Schumer backs banning of
hand guns. But I never saw a statement that they support the use of
the National Guard to disarm Americans.

I suggest you get a copy of "The Embarrassing Second Amendment" by
Prof. Sanford Levinson. Prof. Levinson is in the liberals "approved"

For starters, Rick, JPFO wholeheartely endorsed Larry
Pratt, head of GOA, and formerly a campaign officer
for Pat Buchanan, as a "righteous Gentile."

Unfortuntely, Pratt not long ago shared a podium in
Bronson, Colorado, with a bunch of Christian Identity
dirtbags, including Pete Peters, the baddest CI
dirtbag of them all, and Bo Gritz, formerly with
David Duke.

Secondly, JPFO resorts to printing their ads in
"The Washington Times" -- an ultra-reactionary
newspaper owned and operated by Sun Myung Moon
and the Unification Church (aka the Moonies.)
Why is that, Rick?

Then, of course, there's the JPFO-JBS connection.
Sounds to me like the JBS is trying to "gain some
respectability" with that one.

JPFO keeps some strange company, I'd say...

Can you demonstrate any "mainstream" Jewish support
for JPFO? And given that they are a militant pro-
gun lobbying organization, why does JPFO enjoy
tax-exempt status, BTW?

JPFO always cites their sources so that skeptics can follow up
on their scholarship. In "Lethal Laws," for instance, they cite
the official law books of the countries where genocides have
resulted in the deaths of 56 million people during this century,
documenting the 'gun control' laws which helped make those
millions of government-caused murders possible. They provide
facsimile copies of the laws in their original languages, and
a side-by-side translation.

You don't have to take JPFO's word for it, you can check the
facts for yourself in the primary sources. What's more gullible,
checking the facts in the original sources, or believing the lies
produced by the anti-gun activists who don't cite their sources?

Perhaps because the Washington Post won't publish a pro-gun ad if you paid
triple rates. First amendment only belongs to them which own the printing
presses, don't you know...

JPB is pro-gun, JPFO is pro-gun. Now if the JBS would just drop the jewish

I could say the same thing about sharing the newsgroup with you, Rafe. You're
as strange as they come. Pure squirrel food.

And of course, everything coming from the talking heads at ADL and SPLC are
gospel, even when they are proven to be lies.

I think the words we're looking for here are 'double standard' and
'hypocrite.'

And what about this is wrong? That he heads another

I know that the Press tried to insinuate he had some
aryan nation ties or some such thing. You will provide

Maybe because the New York times and other papers

Rafe Lies. The JFPO isn't a lobby. What a dolt.

Gail, you obviously don't listen to those who are positively RABID
about the idea - here are some direct, attributed quotes of politicians:

"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for

an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America


turn 'em all in, I would have done it."

-Senator Diane Feinstein refering to what she wished she could have done
with regard to "assault weapons" (60 Minutes, CBS, 5 Feb. 1995)

"Banning guns is an idea whose time has come."
-- U.S. Senator Joseph Biden, 11/18/93, Associated Press interview

"Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe."
-- U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein, quoted by AP, 11/18/93

"Until we can ban all of them [firearms], then we might as well ban none."
-- U.S. Senator Howard Metzenbaum, Senate Hearings 1993

"We're here to tell the NRA their nightmare is true..."
-- U.S. Representative Charles Schumer, quoted on NBC, 11/30/93

"We're going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative
strategy! We're going to beat guns into submission!"
-- U.S. Representative Charles Schumer, quoted on NBC, 12/8/93

"My bill ... establishes a 6-month grace period for the turning in of
all handguns."
-- U.S. Representative Major Owens, Congressional Record, 11/10/93

"With a 10,000% tax we could tax them out of existence."
-- U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Washington Post, 11/4/93
(with regards to his proposed tax on ammunition included as part
of one proposed national health care plan)

"If it were up to me we'd ban them all"
-- U.S. Representative Mel Reynolds on CNN's Crossfire, 12/9/93

And these are the politicians in Washington who are making a tremendous
effort and have the power/resources to outlaw guns completely...not
just regulate them, but take them away from every law-abiding
American citizen. There is NO other way to read this!!!

IMHO,

And clearly stated that he detested their racist
views. Just for the record a significant number
(approx 20%) of the staff of Gunowners of America
(GOA)are either black or Jewish. Larry Pratt himself
is married to a woman of color. Hardly the profile
of a rabid racist.

I personally do not agree with Larry Pratt's
fundamentalist Christian views, but he is most
certainly a man of principle. He is most certainly
not a racist.

Please. I would not go to a book about alien abductions to find accurate

You also didn't think that Buddy or Jim were racists because they used
the term "house nigger" on a Black man who wouldn't agree with them.

More mudslinging, little evidence. Bet you have never
even looked at one of their books. And what you are saying
constitutes one of the egregious logical errors.
Essentially you are saying that because JPFO is _interested_
in the subject therefore what they say _must_ be biased
and false. Of course you have been a paragon of information,
...not! I have yet to see you provide _one_ iota of
evidence that JPFO is not accurate.

Well, you dragged Jesus into this first, Rafe.

(By the way, for those of you keeping score at home, the above line
comes from Luke 22:36. To be sure, the disciples reply, "Master, here
are two swords", to which Jesus responds, "That is enough." So presumably
only one-sixth of us need to be armed. :)

Actually, I misquoted Snort a bit. Snort _would_ have called
Jesus a "church-burning, _white-sheet-wearing_, product of foetal
alcohol syndrome" (in addition to the other epithets above.)

If you read the bible, it does have a bit on what Jesus would say in
regards to arms.

Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let
him
take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him
sell his garment, and buy one.

Not much grey area there, if you have no sword, sell your cloths and buy
one.

Washington, DC -- Health science triumphed over partisan politics
today when the House Appropriations Committee reprogrammed funds from
the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), a
division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The
amount reprogrammed, according to NCIPC, equates to the amount the
Center spends on research condemned by independent experts as "biased"
and "shameful."

What's a "real publisher"; is it a publisher that has Gail's blessing as
being politically correct?

What are you trying to say here ? I still see no reference to your claim?

Since you have yet to show that the CDC fabricated FBI UCR
cites, why not start with that. The above 'url' is not a url but
a reference to the message in which Tim addressed your comments.

Then cite the specific message, not his site. and Tim did not address
my comments. He merely wrongly asserted I was incorrect.

In that case point out to me where the quote you posted made reference to
a cite to non-existant FBI UCR datga ?

I cited his message not his site. Tim addressed your comments and
showed that they failed to refer to the NCS as well. Your claim
was that they 'fabricated such a cite'. Where is your proof ?

Tim Lambert addressed similar remarks by Kates in

Enjoy.
