Montana rocks.

As for this story. how crazy would that be, they screw over our 2nd amendment rights and then alot of states start seceding. And they should. a contract is a contract my friends

‘The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but the armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated, and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.’

This is going to be an interesting ruling and will open a can of worms if ‘The People’ are ruled against.

Just in case….I orderd a M4 last week!

On a side note, any historical firearm people here know anyone that can research the history of a serial number on a Garand for a good price? I know mine was made at the Springfield Armory in November 1943, and saw action (being loaned out) with the Greeks when they had to beat back the Commies in the late 1940s. I’d be very interested to know what, if any campaigns it saw in WW2.

If I remember correctly, New York reserved the right to leave the Union for any reason. Still, look at what happened last time states tried to secede.

CHANGE…HOPE….YES WE CAN

Sometimes saber rattling is good thing. You lay all the cards out ahead of time and expedite the process to avoid a long drawn out debate.

FUCKIN’ A!!!!

BALLS MUTHAFUCKA’S!!!!!!!!

BRAD JOHNSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

Look it up in wikipedia. It emblazons ‘76′ in the blue field. That’s what I call a message….

The issue with that is that the states ratified the Constitution, establishing it as the supreme law of the land. Depending on how one swings in constitutional interpretation, the various resolutions and state constitutional amendments hold no binding power.

Anyway, the Claremont Institute has an interesting rebuttal to the various latter day secessionists here, for anyone who’s interested.

And sometimes you overplay your hand and make yourself look like a fool in the process. Threatening to do something when nothing has happened is the type of scenario where those chances are good. If there were some ominous stirrings from the halls of power, then they could lay claim to some justification, but using one’s elected office to make a convincing impersonation of Ron Paul is irresponsible.

Except that no contract has been broken and everyone’s acting like it has. Might I suggest that we channel a little more Washington and a little less Jefferson?

Yes.

It is nothing more than Montana reminding the SC that this is what we both agreed too in writting, and if you allow they the other party to void themselves from the contract then the we the people of Montana have the right to go our serparate way.

That isn’t a threat, it is stating the facts as Montana see it.

Thank you sir.

Brad Johnson, 2012, for President.

Time for the West to split
Wednesday, 27 February 2008

In the last federal election, the majority of citizens of western Canada supported Conservative candidates for Member of Parliament. As leader of the Conservative Party, Stephen Harper was called to form the government. The support by the citizens was based on anticipated changes with real Senate reform and the end of government spending to force a minority language of French on the majority of English-speaking Canadians high on the agenda.

To date, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government has not moved forward on any real Senate reform, to give all Canadians an elected, equal and
effective Senate. Prime Minister’s Conservative government has continued or even increased the push for a minority language of French on a majority of
English-speaking Canadians, at huge financial cost to governments and business.

The majority of Western Canadians are faced with a real dilemma for the next federal election. A vote for a Conservative candidate, in our parliamentary
system would indicate approval of Harper’s actions, or lack of action, to date. A vote for either a Liberal or New Democratic candidate indicates our approval of polices that result in the people working for and at the call of the government as well as continuation of official bilingualism.

The continuation of an unwanted official bilingualism policy and an appointed Senate are high on the list of reasons the majority of Western Canadians are looking for solutions to this dilemma. A growing number of Western Canadians believe the best solution is the separation of Western Canada and formation of a new country with one official language of English and a system of government that is accountable to the people.

This isn’t about a ‘neo-Confederate’ wet dream. We, the People, want to and will be heard, one way or another.

The other half of it, is that We the People sit in the bleachers and spectate from the ‘Crows Nest’ as our mis-guided Senators and Congressman mis-represent themselves as representatives of the ‘Common Man’, looking out for our ‘Best Interests’….Like I need, let alone trust Harry Reid watching my Six!

There isn’t a godamn one of them that truely represents me or anyone I know.

So what Montana is saying ‘WHOA’ there boy, you had better take off the blinders and broaden your horizons a bit…..this is We the People in action.

That isn’t a threat, it is stating the facts as Montana see it.

Reminding someone of the facts is fine, but why not take the time to remind the court what the Second Amendment actually means in its precise language? Why not mount a historical and scholarly defense of the Standard Model of interpretation as an individual right to bear arms? How many Americans, those in Montana or otherwise, actually no what the Second Amendment says? This is an opportunity to exhort the Justices on their legal duty and to educate the public on what the issue is. Acting prudently, it might be an opportunity to wrest the microphone from the anti-gun nuts and get two words edge-wise into this debate. Instead, Mr. Johnson has done an ample job of framing himself as a belligerent, which just gives fodder to the opposition.

You may not agree with the manner in which Montana made its voice heard, but it is a voice non the less and a means of communication. Not much different than a stern conversation with your father reminding you of the potential repercussions of your actions.

Why not take the time to discuss it? 1. It has already been discussed. 2. That requires Elitest Attourneys who of the mindset that ‘The Law’ is a living, breathing being that they can bend and twist as they see fit.

If I don’t pay my mortgage, I’m breaking my contract.

Section 12. Right to bear arms. THE RIGHT OF ANY PERSON TO KEEP OR BEAR ARMS (emphasis mine) in defense of his own home, person, and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall not be called in question, but nothing herein contained shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons.

This is the Montana State Constitution as approved by the people of Montana and the United States.

It is clear. Especially to the People of Montana. Steve_Montana can attest.

Just be careful where you buy that property. Missoula, and Helena, and probably several other larger cities in Montana, are full of liberals.

To the letter.

What part of that is not clear!

The people have the Constitutional right to own and bear arms.

Isn’t that how they all begin to chip away at rights they don’t agree with?

Domestic Enemies

“When the Vice President of the United Stats and all members of the military take their oaths of office or enlistment, they are required to swear to Defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. (The president, curiously, merely swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Nothing in his oath refers to domestic enemies.

Question:

Who are the domestic enemies? They are enemies of the Constitution. They are not identified in the Founding Documents, but the Declaration of Independence gives the people of the United States wide powers to, at any time, declare an existing Government to be null and void, and to replace it with a new Government of their choosing. It therefore allows that if the entire Government may be repudiated by the people, the people may also identify those enemies of the Constitution that may exist at any given time. The powers of the people are those of a Sovereign. There is no greater power in the United States. The uniqueness of the Declaration of Independence lies in the fact that it delegates to the people complete power over everything in the land. There is no higher power, not the President, not the Congress, not the Supreme Court, not any branch of Government or individual of the Government. The Founding fathers made each citizen of the United States a Sovereign in his own right.”

Zappa isn’t dead, he just moved to Montana

In the beginning of this great country, and the union of the colonies/states, they had an agreement, that if they didn’t like where the federal govt was going, they could back out.

Even now the Virginia Bill of Rights states that they can remove themselves from the federal union any time. This is what the Confederate State of America was about in the war of northern aggression. Too bad Abe wasn’t real concerned about Constitutions nor any Bill of Rights.

A Montana liberal is by and large a different variety than a New York liberal. Montana is one of a few states where there is a such thing as a “gun toting liberal.” Gun control isn’t a very popular issue in very many corners here. Even the radical left (MT has an associated history with the IWW going back a century) are advocates of the individual right to keep and bear arms here.
