Is There a Peaceful Solution?

Burns Chronicles No 6

I have heard professed patriots, such as Melvin Lee (especially, beginning at the 19:27 mark), on behalf of Pacific Patriot Network (PPN), claiming that what was accomplished by Ammon Bundy and others was wrong, that there is a peaceful way to achieve what they were trying to achieve. When what Ammon did is compared with our own history, they argue that there was no Constitution then, but there is one now, and we must abide by it.

So, let’s set the record straight by starting with the Constitution. There was an English Constitution, however, it was a compilation of acts and court decisions, beginning with the Magna Carta, and insuring the “Rights of Englishmen”. It was the Crown’s refusal to recognize the rights of the colonists, as they were enjoyed in England that led to the Revolution.

Our Constitution is written in a single document, with amendments in addition to the original. However, the Supreme Court will not pass on the constitutionality of a matter before it “unless absolutely necessary to a decision of the case”. In other words, only as a last resort. This was explained to the country in a 1936 Supreme Court decision, Ashwander v. T.V.A.

The only peaceful solution involves common sense.

Too many islamo and other deranged followers of BS to kill them off easily. We must be diligent ...

Peaceful? Last I heard only the government was shooting people and taking captives.

Maybe a more apropos question is “Does the right to BEAR arms, include the right to USE force?”

I.e., is it a legitimate legal defense to say the park was seized, not as a protest, but part of a forceful action to defend against tyranny?
