NATIONAL SHOOT FOR FREEDOM DAY Those who love to manipulate the gullible and naive have had there day! NOW IT'S OUR TURN to voice our opinions and destroy their narrative and wash away the B.S. From people minds and hearts.. Present the facts of how many lives are saved every year in America by Civilians and their fire arms. How many violent crimes are prevented every year by CIVILANS AND THEIR FIRE ARMS! I propose a National Day at your local gun range complete with Patriot music and speakers. I will be providing live music here in Omaha and have music I have produced for this very type of event. I can provide Backing tracks for anyone who would like to sing the songs I have written in their area. FREE OF CHARGE! https://soundcloud.com/user262008952/special-kinda-lunatic-1 Last year there was a national freedom rally canceled because of threats from Antifa! Including here in Omaha. Public property is not the best place to have these events because many large cities squash your ability to defend yourself if necessary. Think about A NATIONAL TEA PARTY AT YOUR LOCAL GUN RANGE WHERE PACKING IS EXPECTED! Show the Dangerous Lunatics that we will not be disarmed. “We will not go quietly into the night “ We will not surrender our Freedoms! A chance to do some training and to organize with like minded people to defend Freedom for our Children and Grand Children Most importantly if we keep laying back and taking punches our politicians. Many with no convictions and back bone will buckle in fear. The SCREECHING WHEEL will get the grease. They do not have the for-site or principle to fight back on our behalf. Then some day the Dangerous Lunatics will get what they want. A CIVIL war. This does not have to happen on our watch. If we are responsible and do as our founders exclaimed. KEEP THE REPUBLIC THEY GAVE US! I am not setting a date for this event. I am in contact with all our local ranges in the Omaha Area and waiting for a response from them on dates they have available. I do think it should be a Saturday to maximize the number of people who could participate. I believe later part of April or first half of May would be a good time to shoot for! I would like feed back from all those interested in participating. Contact your local ranges and see if they would be interested in participating so they can promote their services and products as well as support Freedom for us all! Godspeed, Kenneth Hall Patriot Music Network [email protected]

This book is a hybrid between a manifesto and a memoir of this young Texan who invented the 3D printed gun. I liked this book because it really lays bare the unique American philosophy, this review will comment on that philosophy and make it concrete in context of a politically tectonic level recent event, the site of which I'm not far from at the moment. America is the one country wherein citizens are obligated to overthrow the government if it gets too out of hand. Every other country is set up to protect the cartel of the powerful elite. America is unique in that our constitution provides... A concrete legal protection of a citizen’s right to violently abolish the law. The author Cody Wilson feels this experiment of a philosophically rigorous country is flat lined and needs to be re-animated The best I could say then was that America was a failed but worthwhile experiment. A miracle from the finest moment of liberal thought. Proof that foolish political experiments, be they compound republics or plastic guns, still had their fruits in the animating contest of liberty. Cody has significant disdain for politicians that would constrict our rights The force of her famous distemper for the popular ownership of arms seemed matched only by her muscular defense of our warfare-surveillance state. Cody's way of fighting back against that is to publish... Universal access to arms. ...in the same way that way open source software publishers distribute their products. Power can no longer be centralized in a world empowered by the Internet. He writes that the greatest mistake [the United States Government] ever made: not licensing the personal computer!” On Dangerous Freedom At the heart of the American philosophy we embrace a dangerous degree of freedom. We especially believe in freedom of speech to an extreme degree; America is the one country that allows Draw Muhammad contests, Neo-Nazi rallies, God Hates Fags preachers and art exhibits of cannibalism and crucifixes submerged in urine, we produce the most depraved porn and snuff films. All just a few clicks away from you now. So Cody asked... What if guns were becoming speech? And then instead of asking for permission he made it so by publishing and releasing to the Internet (that never forgets) the CAD files to 3D print firearms. Science fiction coming soon to a garage near you. “It’s like stealing something from the future. Something that’s not yet supposed to be here.” On Bitcoin The digital currency is - unsurprisingly - mentioned frequently Taaki was hoping to do with currency what I believed was possible with weapons— namely, to place them outside state structures. It would be terrible if bitcoiners were to just sleepwalk into letting the bureaucrats license their firms and activities. My favorite line of the book is And any man worth knowing is a man at war with himself. I think I first saw this guy in a viral Vice documentary; the first thing that really struck me about him is his extraordinary verbal ability. Politicians, TV personalities, professional commentators, pick up artists and sales people take public speaking and improv classes for years to become as verbally dexterous as this guy is. As a truly talented political pontificator he ranks up there with some of my favorite podcasters like Sam Harris, Stefan Molynuex or Gad Saad. It's remarkable that given the amount of money this guy could be making with his million dollar mouthpiece he has chosen the business he is in. Checkout this ReasonTV interview. Time will tell if this guy is too rebellious for his own good; I hope he doesn't end up in jail. However; the very fact that someone can do something as disruptive as release to the world downloadable guns is a reassuring sign that perhaps the American experiment with freedom yet draws breath. How the Printed Gun may change Revolutions The other night I watched this incredibly compelling Netflix documentary about the Maidan Revolution in Kiev, Ukraine. The film viscerally portrays the violence of the state. As I watched it in my flat in Kiev not that far from the stately European sites which were transformed into war zones in the events shown in the film I kept thinking how the prospect of printed guns could have radically changed how the Maidan revolution played out. In Winter on Fire the image that you'll see over and over again is of a bunch of government thugs in riot gear beating up protesters. I lived in the Ukraine and I have heard a bunch of different perspectives on the Maidan revolution. I know it's a complicated event that I would do a real disservice to if I tried to meta analyze it but just imagine how much shorter it could have been if Cody's guns were available to the revolutionaries... Just imagine how many lives could have been saved if the government thugs feared their adversaries... How much violence could have been avoided if the protesters could have brought something more menacing than rocks and sticks to a rubber bullet and steel baton fight? In my mind a printed gun or a multiplicity of them is much more powerful as a psychological weapon than it is.practically. Tactically I just can't imagine it being that much more dangerous as a weapon than a knife (or a truck!); nobody is going to slay dozens of victims in a mass murder spree in a mall or school with this thing. The hordes of hundreds of government thugs wouldn't have been nearly so aggressive if they knew there was a chance of being shot back at. Battling a crowd throwing rocks and sticks while fully armored in riot gear is probably just a little more risky than playing football with friends after a few beers and - let's be honest - probably a lot of fun! But what if one out of every hundred protesters had a gun? Even a crappy gun; it becomes an infinitely less appealing activity. How many of the riot cops would have transformed from cruel brawlers into assertive yet courteous peace keepers? How many of them would have flat refused to participate? The film is a 90 minute crescendo of escalation of force. A small group college students start to protest. Some riot police beat them up. A social media outrage ensues. Thousands rally to protest the police beatings of peaceful protesters. Some angry people advance on government buildings to protest. Larger scale melees occur with the police. The outrage grows and the protest becomes a revolution. The protesters organize a militia that can more capably combat the riot police. The government resorts to bringing in military professionals; snipers begin using real bullets to kill protesters on the front lines of the stand off. The revolutionary leader gives the President an ultimatum and the militia members promise to lay down their lives. Finally, given the prospect of presiding over a true massacre, the Ukrainian President resigns and hides. If the government faced a pervasive lethal threat amongst the protesters would they have had to be more reasonable at any early stage of the Maidan revolution? Would have so much blood ran on the icy streets of Kiev in 2014? I suspect not. If only I sold time travel devices instead of smart drugs I could make a bloody fortune by selling one to the dictator in the 2020's who is about to be overthrown by revolutionaries wielding plastic guns. Just imagine what such a dictator would pay to have Cody Wilson assassinated in 2013 before he opened this Pandora's box... Now that guns can be printed every despotic government around the world has a real reason to think twice about abusing their own citizenry.

Stefan, I suggest that this subject cries for a video. Alex Jones and others recently published videos of Johnson that are, shall we say, compromising. He objects to the term 'illegal alien' and defends dreamers. His VP pick has called for strict gun control. One of my grabber friends now supports Johnson. This is a Libertarian ticket? Help us out here, Stef. WTF happened to Gary when he dropped trow? Did Shrillary clamp a remote control device onto his gonads, or what?

Article The Mint Press lists its bias on their about page as "Through the lens of social justice and human rights, we report on how these dynamics drive our foreign affairs and impact the world, and examine the effects they have on our democracy and freedoms as defined by the constitution." Now I almost always cringe when I hear the words social justice, however the article makes some good arguments on the correlation between gun ownership and murder rates, notably that they don't correlate either way. They also point out that governments really only want to ban citizens from owning rifles because you need rifles to overthrow a government.

I put this in another post but now believe it needs a thread of its own. In his prime time address to the nation about the terrorist attack in San Bernardino on 12/6/2015, President Barrack Obama claims that one of the steps we MUST do is to not allow people on some federal terrorist watch lists to buy guns. This is probably one of the most anti 2nd amendment regulations that could be constructed that does not ban guns outright. This is because one of the central reasons for the 2nd amendment was to allow the population to defend it self from a tyrannical government - well guess what tyrannical governments call people that try to defend themselves against it? Terrorists. Not only would this give the government the ability to subjectively remove rights from citizens, but this law would neuter the 2nd amendment during any rebellion, or insurgent situation, because anyone standing up against the government would be deemed as a terrorist and be subject to the removal of rights and extreme government retaliation.

Though I live in the U.S., I am a Canadian citizen and am interested in seeing the Canadian economy thrive. I'm also concerned about the lack of some basic civil liberties. In the past, I've voted for the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) on the basis that they were for the free market (more so than other parties) and promised to scrap the long gun registry. They followed through on the latter promise, which was important to me as a gun owner. Since last election, the CPC has shown itself to be rather neo-con. They seem to be running on hawkish foreign policy, increased prison sentences, and increased domestic security. The last on the list comes in the form of C-51, the Anti-terrorism Act of 2015. They've also introduced a law allowing the government to terminate the citizenship of anyone they deem to be a terrorist (C-24). I don't like ANY of this! The New Democrat Party (NDP) is essentially the Socialist party of Canada. They immediately begin with class warfare rhetoric and my eyes glaze over. Mulcair, their leader, believes that Canada should ensure that farmers and duck hunters can keep their guns. Translation: He wants to ban my "assault rifle" and pistols. They are against Alberta's oil and gas industry. Wanting to scrap pipelines which are vital to economic growth. Support cap-and-trade. I can't stand these guys! The Liberal party of Canada sort of falls in the middle. They support lower taxes for the middle class, poor, and small businesses, while increasing taxes on the rich and corporations. They oppose some pipelines while supporting others. Their leader is so weak and flip flops and "hems and haws" so much, I don't really know what this party actually stands for. They were the party that originally introduced our gun registries. I don't trust them. No one seems concerned about Canada's "human rights" tribunal which are effectively censorship on speech deemed offensive. Christians and white males are overwhelmingly the victims of these tribunals. They're dragged in front of these tribunals by radical imams or gay/lesbians. Our country does not protect freedom of speech. We have a State broadcaster (CBC) that is very leftist. The CTRC (Canadian telecommunications regulation commission) picks winners and losers in terms of which channels get included in basic cable, which is ridiculous. They've discriminated against right wing news agencies. Self defense is harshly punished. There are countless stories of people being charged with offenses for simply defending themselves within their own home. This seems to be an anti-gun campaign as it's frequently gun owners who find themselves being charged. The RCMP is out of control. They stormed into private residences to "secure" them during a natural disaster. They confiscated firearms and damaged property. They reclassified firearms independently and without consultation. I almost had a rifle of mine confiscated without compensation. To the credit of the CPC, they've addressed these concerns with the RCMP and the lack of self defense laws, but time will tell if the legislation is effective. I know as anarchists, most people here don't believe in voting. But I'd rather vote for the least terrible option. I really don't see how spoiling my ballot or voting libertarian is going to help steer my country towards greater freedom. I'm pulled more towards voting CPC at this point both because of their economic policy (which is less socialist) and because they've ensured I don't have my guns confiscated. I don't like their authoritarian angle, but it doesn't really affect me. I don't do drugs, I'm not a terrorist, and I'm not a violent criminal. I'd love to hear the thoughts of fellow freedom-loving Canadians! Maybe I've overlooked some aspects of the other parties. Maybe C-51 is the end of Canada as we know it. Maybe it's exaggeration. Give me some feedback!

Hello folks. Long time listener, first time poster. I'm from Michigan in the US. I am posting this to learn more about what seems to be the one and only soft spot in my anarchist philosophy, that being Japan's apparent success with gun control. For those who don't know, just look up the stats. The bottom line is that they have scores less gun murders. I thought there had to be a disclaimer, like massive amounts of rape or theft or something that guns deter, but I couldn't find anything. Now, of course I realize that Japan has a completely different history than the USA, as well as a different cultural mentality. I know this plays an important role, but I have a hard time chalking up Japan's stats to just this. Another point I realized is that having low gun crime is not at all worth the cost of enforcing gun law: a massive, all-powerful government who can rule and misrepresent you (think WW2) anytime. Yet still, I feel like I must be missing some important datapoint. It seems that Japan's gun control just works, which baffles me. Anywhere it's been tried here in America, it's been a complete failure- maybe because our country is so full of guns that criminals will always have a much easier time getting ahold of them? I don't know, and that's why I'm here to ask. Thanks very much, -Dan
