Rational Basis Analysis of "Assault Weapon" Prohibition

[Uncle Bill]

Bush and Rove need to know who their employer is. We're the boss. Of course, that's the real problem. Americans don't give a rip about the Constitution, just their socialism. I guess this is all just a huge waste of time? If not, let's push our employees towards the good guys. If not, what's the point? I know almost all politicians would not sign off on the below Mission Statement. And based on what I've been reading, few Freepers anymore. It's a truly sad era watching it happen.

Here's Uncle Bill's Agenda. Frightening, don't you think?:

SOURCE: About Free Republic

What is our mission?

Free Republic is dedicated to reversing the trend of unconstitutional government expansion and is advocating a complete restoration of our constitutional republic. Listed below are some of the issues we feel strongly about.

Basically, we believe that the Founders designed our system of government in the form of a constitutionally limited republic, with maximum freedom intended for the people and minimum government control or interference into our personal lives and business affairs.

The united states of America was intended to be a federation of sovereign states, each with its own constitution and state government. Governments at all levels -- federal, state and local -- were to be controlled by the people. Our Constitution explicitly restricts the power of our federal government; and our Bill of Rights guarantees that NO government may infringe upon our God given unalienable rights. This is to ensure that the real power remains close to home, with the states, the local governments and always in the hands of the people.

We the People have granted our federal government limited powers to oversee certain things, such as national defense, interstate commerce, the postal service, the coining of money, and the operation of a court system. Most other powers now in the hands of the federal government were illegally usurped from the states and from the people.

Somehow, over the years, our guiding principles of law, as set forth in the Constitution, have been eroded to the point that the federal government now has total control -- leaving the states impotent and the people as captive servants to the federal government. This must be reversed if we are to survive as a free Republic and a free people.

We at Free Republic are determined to return the Constitution to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the land as the Founders intended.

It is not necessary for everyone to hold the same views to be members of Free Republic, however, many of us do share many of the following as common beliefs and goals:

• The preservation and complete restoration of our Constitution and Bill of Rights with special emphasis on the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth amendments and, of course, our right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness -- free of government intervention.

• We call for the repeal of the 17th amendment, which will reverse the independence of the Senate and reestablish the Senate as a representative of the State governments, as intended by the Founding Fathers. This arrangement was intended to be a critical check against illegal federal expansion over the States, and the people residing in the various States, and will act to return the powers not granted to the federal government, as enumerated in the Constitution, to the states.

• We call for the repeal of the 16th amendment and to abolish the income tax and the IRS. Revenues to the federal government should come from excise taxes and tariffs.

• We call for the repeal of the Emergency and War Powers Acts, an end to all national emergencies and a ban on the unilateral creation of law by Presidential edict. We are also working for the repeal all laws created by unconstitutional and extraconstitutional devices, such as Executive Order or Presidential Directive.

  Repeal of the war and emergency powers acts and the various states of national emergencies will allow the abolishing of all unconstitutional federal law, agencies and departments. This will return us to a Federalist system of government and return many responsibilities to the States and personal rights to the citizens.

  A return to a strictly Constitutional form of federal government will automatically repeal and abolish all unconstitutional federal involvement in states issues such as: crime, health, education, welfare and the environment. The Tenth Amendment will again be in effect, which will bar all federal attempts at legislating social issues. This will also require that social programs such as Social Security, welfare and Medicare be repealed. So too, will most federal subsidies.

• We further call for the rescinding of all treaties and/or International Agreements which are not in perfect agreement with the federal government’s Constitutionally mandated task of protecting the rights of the people.

• We believe that the United States should disassociate itself from the U.N. and that the U.N. should be forced to leave the United States. Furthermore, we demand that the federal government refrain from meddling in the business and squabbles of foreign nations, unless there is an imminent threat to the people of the United States.

• We also call for the strengthening of our military and defenses; the effective control over illegal immigration and smuggling; the paying down the national debt; and strict control over federal agencies like the CIA and the FBI.

  This will not happen, the Republic is falling

..Uncle Bill is a gutless mouse with no solutions...

Now, now.

Just because he's made a fool of you on all the other threads is no reason to turn nasty.

[diamond6]

You're squeaking, too.

[nopardons]

Barbra Striesand ! Even Jim Rob, on the first thread, came on and said that OUR goal is to keep electing GOPers, and get rid of the Dems !

[TLBSHOW]

I have 4 problems with W so far and they are....

1.CFR (Signed it)

2.Islam is Peace (No Islam is the enemy)

3.Trent Lott (Lott voiced a desire to militarize the borders. Within 10 days he was gone.)

4.Affirmative action (Says one thing on TV and sends a different thing to the court)

As for voting out the rats I am all for that, but it would be nice to see W send Clintons BS back to the stone age! You know like reverse the things Clinton did instead of not.

The paper company was "Knight-Ridder". They own a lot of papers including the uberliberal Detroit "Free" Press. Probably own the Salt Lake Tribune as well.

I called the comment line a couple of days back, and I know several others that did. I have yet to call Hastert, but that will be coming up next. I talked to my Congressman Mike Rogers in person the other day. I'm not worried about him.

[Dan from Michigan]

No, Byron is speaking from personal experience. They grabbed most of the guns there.

[tpaine]

Free Republic is a place for people to discuss our common goals regarding the restoration of our constitutionally limited republican form of government. If people have other agendas for FR, I really wish they would take them elsewhere. Thanks, Jim

He's a JBS, Bush-hating whack-job who does nothing but trash any Republican in office. You know...they're all closet Socialists and plotting to take over the country for the New World Order, Tri-Laterals, Council on Foreign Relations, Build-A-Burgers, Illuminai and Free Masons.

Run for your life!!! Bush is poisoning us with CHEM-TRAILS!!!!!

We're minutes away from concentration camps in the Mojave desert!!!

...I am an insurance defense attorney, who has high integrity and honesty...

[nopardons]

He HAS reversed a LOT of Clinton's stuff and he's only been in office a little over two years; one of which was stymied by not having both House and a stalled beginning. Remember Florida and gore, do ya ?

CFR is harming the Dems. Now, get off it.

What, you think that President Bush could just go on T.V> and announce the 21rst. century CRUSADE against the Infidel ? Say that ALL Muslims, all over the world must die ? HE COULD NOT DO THAT; NOT EVEN TO SATISFY OUR ANGER AFTER 9/11 ! What he's managed to do, is far better and he hasn't made himself look like an idiot either.

No, he was wrong and the Lott thing was horrendously mishandled.

Let the AF thingy play out. It isn't done yet; it isn't even truely begun.

[nopardons]

And THAT refers to YOU, dear. Thanks so very much for posting it ! Now scoot off back to LP , or whatever that forum is. :-)

[Deb]

Geez, you sure do flip-flop. One thread you're all goo-ga about how great Bush is and how he's saving the country and on the next one you're channeling Michael Rivero.

You've turned into Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown":

"My sister...my mother. My sister...my mother."

But crabbing about the CFR is really the phoniest. A dead give-away you have no idea what you're talking about.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

see the wings game...damn shame

[wardaddy]

No.

I simply say what I feel and others may challenge me on whatever they like.

I know plenty of folks around here...a few off this board and I can say with complete certainty that I know no one who I agree with all the time and only a few I disagree with all of the time.

The only person who manipulates me is my wife....and I LIKE IT!

[diamond6]

As I remember, Lott was an idiot. He embarrassed the party with his stupid statement. And talk about a "moderate". He was not setting a conservative example at all.

Run for your life!!! Bush is poisoning us with CHEM-TRAILS!!!!!

.......


get a grip Deb....it isn't that bad, unless you are asylum-seekers........

codenamed Operation Liberty Shield

The United States has ordered the detention of all political asylum-seekers from a long list of Arab and Muslim countries, infuriating immigrant advocates who say it violates international human rights law.

...

And I agree with the President on this issue, but just deport them ......

[TLBSHOW]

Thanks for that post I will consider it...
