Going, Going, Gone...

With little fanfare, the federal government has substantially increased the number of licenses it has taken away from gun dealers over the past five years, according to newly obtained statistics.
Sure glad we have a BATFU where we're working out of their Big Boss's office.

Here's something I don't understand. The BATF***Everybody, argues that paperwork technical violations makes it more difficult to track firearms. Judges agree and rule in favor of the government's position.

Here is what I don't understand. Why has no defendant's attorney challenged the courts or government to show where the constitution gives them powers to be able to track a damn thing, and especially a thing that is sacrosanct under the constitution and considered by it to be a universal ubiquitous implement of every citizen.

It seems we grant tacit approval of gov't right to track firearms, then argue about how they do it. Shouldn't we fight round one without just ceding it to the opposition? I do not accept the government's position that they have the right or power to track firearms. But it seems in every case both sides just assume this is a legitimate pursuit of government. Yet, I find nowhere in the constitution where that power was granted. Shouldn't we fight that battle first?

In each and every case. Until we find an honest judge who rules according to law.

It beats the Hell out of having to shoot them all.

Happening here. Last year they closed down the local shop that's been there as long as I've been alive. 15 errors in thousands of forms.

Down in the Akron area there are only a couple or three shops left. They had a couple errors.

I remember the article about Abrams, archived it. The batmen said in it they had bent over backwards to help him stay open. Assuming that it was legal to track and close him down, HE is the type to go after first, not that onesey twosey types of errors. I'd love to see the BATFU's paperwork and all the errors there. Could we close THEM down for paperwork errors?

Consider where all of these judges, lawyers, etc. are trained - corrupted
institutions, of supposed, 'higher learning'. They are trained to disregard the Constitution. And, play the game of dancing around perversely applied precedence. It is a mind-twist game perpetrated by the whole system - from start to finish.

If some lawyer does happen to successfully navigate through the perverse-precendent minefield. Well, then they just apply some different 'angle' of perverse precedence to overcome it. Or, make a new 'ruling', which in turn becomes even more perverse precedence.

Congress has the delegated authority to put these judges in their place. The fact that they don't proves collusion and conspiracy.

The only way all of this can be fixed, is to excise the whole perverse system. Amend the Constitution, in order to bring in a system of TRUE accountability at ALL levels. And this, by providing punishments that truly hurt. It would have to be done by a continually applied application of Sovereignty by We The People. Any other method would become corrupted, if allowed to be handled by the government itself.
