Wildlife officials credited a woman with saving her husband's life by clubbing a mountain lion that attacked him while the couple were hiking in a California state park.The poor cougar never stood a chance.
Looks like the authorities will need to update their posted rules. And yeah, I know that post was about a county park--so here are the rules for state parks:
Happy hiking!

That's interesting, as I had thought that the following 'rule' applied everywhere in the whole United States;
ReplyDelete"The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms Shall NOT be Infringed".
Funny, the 1856 U.S. House and Senate felt the same way as I do;
"...And in the just preservation of rights and property, it is understood and declared that no law ought ever to be made or be in force in said Territory that shall in any manner interfere with or affect private contracts or engagements bona fide and without fraud previously proved. And the people of said Territory shall be entitled to the right to keep and bear arms, to the liberty of speech and of the press, as defined in the constitution of the United States, and all other rights of person or property thereby declared and as thereby defined.
"Sec. 17. And be it further enacted, That the following propositions be, and the same are hereby, offered to the said convention of the people of Kansas, when formed, for their free acceptance or rejection, which, if accepted by the convention and ratified by the people at the election for the adoption of the constitution, shall be obligatory on the United States and upon the said State of Kansas, to wit:....

"...Sec. 18. And be it further enacted, That inasmuch as the Constitution of the United States and the organic act of said Territory has secured to the inhabitants thereof certain inalienable rights, of which they cannot be deprived by any legislative enactment, therefore no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust; no law shall be in force or enforced in said Territory respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition for the redress of grievances; the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized; nor shall the rights of the people to keep and bear arms be infringed...."

Those are the ones that MAKE the laws, are they not? Tell me how something that is declared as "inalienable" can possibly be "alienated"? I contend that it CANNOT.
E.David, I submit that it CAN be alienated. Not legitimately, of course, but it can be alienated. After Rick Stanley, Wayne Fincher, Waco and Ruby Ridge, there is but one way to take them back. Patrick Henry said it best in his passage about guarding the pulc liberty.
ReplyDeleteUhh, that would be "public liberty".
ReplyDelete*sigh*
crotalus - Then it is up to We The People to revert to our Inherent Natural Right as stipulated in the Declaration of Independence, and the "TRANSCENDENT Laws of Nature". Which was recognized as the whole reason for forming the new Constitution, (as outlined in Federalist #43);
ReplyDelete"The First Law of Nature is that every man ought to endeavour peace, as far as he has hope of obtaining it; and when he cannot obtain it, that he may seek and use all helps and advantages of war."
Even the usurpers in the court sytem acknowledge this. Which of course they must. For the perverse "admiralty law" courts, which currently predominate in the U.S. Recognize, and are bound by the "laws of nature" as well. That is the whole beauty of what men like Jefferson and Madison did for us. They knew EXACTLY the perversity that the heart of man is capable of. The laws of nature and of natures God, justify the Right of Revolution. To Wit; The American Principle of Revolution By James Wilson
That is the corner that we are currently painted into.
Yeah, I have to wonder when idiots with fish and game tell me not to hike alone, I mean this old man could have lost his scalp if his wife hadn't have been there. Oh, wait, he did.
ReplyDeleteJefferson had concern of this when he wrote Madison in 1801;
ReplyDelete“...Notwithstanding the suspected infidelity of the post, I must hazard this communication. The minority in the H[ouse] of R[epresentatives], after seeing the impossibility of electing B, the certainty that a legislative usurpation would be resisted by arms, and a recourse to a convention to re-organize and amend the government, held a consultation on this dilemma, whether it would be better for them to come over in a body and go with the tide of the times, or by a negative conduct suffer the election to be made by a bare majority, keeping their body entire & unbroken, to act in phalanx on such ground of opposition as circumstances shall offer; and I know their determination on this question only by their vote of yesterday...." - Thomas Jefferson, Feb 18, 1801 Letter to James Madison. [The Works of Thomas Jefferson in Twelve Volumes. Federal Edition. Collected and Edited by Paul Leicester Ford.]
The FEAR must be there to keep the servants in line. If the tools, that are the implements of fear, are allowed to be removed. Then there is no longer any cause for them to have fear.
Thus, it is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE that We The People prevent the removal of our implements of fear. Our freedom and liberty, nay, our very lives absolutely depend upon it....
