Mayors FOR Guns
I received the following response to my Gun Rights Political Questionnaire out of the blue from Joel Stoner, the mayor of Macks Creek, a small town (pop. 267 in the 2000 census) in MO. I'm using the Gun Rights Examiner columns to feature selected national races, but thought this deserved mention, particularly for the great idea he proposes at the end.
1. Do you believe that the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land" and that the Bill of Rights acknowledges our birthrights?
Yes
2. If so, should these rights be proactively protected from infringement by all levels of government, including city, county and state?
Yes
3. Please give some examples of gun laws you consider constitutional.
Laws requiring citizens to own firearms for the common protection of the city.
4. Please give some examples of gun laws you consider unconstitutional.
All others
5. Does the right to bear arms include the right for any peaceable citizen to carry them concealed without a permit, as in Vermont?
Yes
6. Do you believe that Americans have a right to own, use and carry weapons of military pattern, and will you use the prestige of elected office to publicly promote that right?
Yes, the second amendment was intended for the militia, by having an armed militia the people can protect their republic. Tell me how i can help and i will do what i can to promote the ownership of "military" style weapons. Truth is all firearms are suitable for military service. I personally own an SKS.
7. Do you support or oppose registration of weapons? Why?
I am dead set against any form of registration. Registration is the first step to confiscation. See Red Dawn for evidence that registration can be abused easily.
8. Do you support or oppose licensing requirements to own or carry firearms? Why?
Rights exist without government permission, to require a license to own or carry a firearm would severely infringe the second amendment right.
9. What specific gun laws will you work to get repealed?
I would like to see a repeal of all gun laws.
10. If elected, will you back your words of support for firearms
rights up with consistent actions? How?
The City of Macks Creek has passed resolutions in support of firearms ownership. I personally have been talking to the NRA to form a Mayors who support gun rights, to counter Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns(MAIG).
Cordially,
Joel Stoner, Mayor
City of Macks Creek, Missouri

We're the Only Ones Keeping it All in the Family Enough
Imprisoned Gallatin County Sheriff Raymond Martin, his wife and adult son are facing charges of solicitation of murder for ire. [More]Murder for ire? He's mad? It's a typo? 'e's a potential protégé for 'enry 'iggins?

Correcting Course
Chief Bob Terry said he believes the case "illustrates the frustration of many people in this community who are fed up and do not want their stuff stolen. But we don't know yet if that is what was happening or not, and we do not advise that shooting is the correct course of action to take," Chief Terry said. [More]I'll be interested to see how this one pans out. I've never been a big fan of "warning shots."
I know more politically correct gun advocates advise to let a perp walk, but that's like saying only the police should have arrest powers. Since they derive that power from us, I don't think it's illegitimate for me to hold someone I catch stealing my property.
It also sounds like once shots were fired, the homeowner should have clammed up and let his lawyer do the talking.
I know Monday morning quarterbacking is easy. Still, it's incumbent on us to think through in advance how we'll deal with a police response should we ever be involved in a shooting. It's all part of basic preparedness.

A Drunken, Lying Slob
That is the only way to describe it. [More]Yeah, but he's our drunken, lying slob...isn't he?
As I said to a correspondent wanting to know if the dangers of Dick Durbin ascending to the senate majority slot might make me support Harry Reid out of political pragmatism:
I think Reid is a communist and a traitor who does what he does on guns because the political climate in NV forces him to. Anyone who thinks they can make a binding deal with a communist and traitor shouldn't act surprised when they find themselves being devoured.We need to look at the totality of a politician's actions. Fact is, Baucus supported Obama. Baucus supported Eric Holder. Baucus supported Sotomayor. Anyone acting like his other votes happen in a vacuum will have no one but themselves to blame when they find they can no longer breathe.
I'm done with political compromises--that's what got us to this point. Some of us aren't backing up any more. A lot of us. And we're pissed.
I'm unimpressed with the Durbin argument. If he gets in and wants to squeeze harder, I suppose some will obey. Just as some of us will not. Interesting times.
Freedom is not won by those afraid to take risks. And to back Reid because someone perceptibly worse might get in is not the type of attitude that will win it.

A Fundamental Disagreement
Tennessee State Guard commander Richard Hamblen said it's his Second Amendment right as part of a militia to convert assault rifles into fully automatic weapons. The Sixth US Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. [More]Because "shall not be infringed" is such a squishy and undefined concept...
Per Hamblen in his email to me:
...Point of clarification: ...I did not convert any guns from semiauto--all mine were remanufactured from de-milled machine gun kits. They always were machine guns, always were intended to be machine guns, and were nothing but machine guns, the "standard issue weapon", as Solicitor General Clement said in Heller, of the National Guard.If you haven't been following this case, here's what I've got.
The whole point is the constitutionality of the NFA of 1934 and therefore all gun laws. The Supreme Court ruled on what is protected by the Second Amendment in Miller in 1939. All I ask is that they honor their ruling and apply it to the law. And if that ruling is no longer correct, then they need to explain, with constitutional citations, why it is no longer correct.
