Sensible Gun Regulations: President Obama Should Advocate Changing 18 USC 925 (a)

It allows people who have been found by a court to be mentally defective, people who have committed multiple violent felonies, and people who are illegal drug users/addicts to legally carry firearms. It is worded in such a clever way so that most people who don’t understand the law would gloss right over it.

Really.

The catch is the guns have to belong to the Government.

Our national policy is that it is okay to be legally crazy, a multiple violent felon, and to be a user of illegal drugs while carrying a gun… so long as you work for the government.

Want a Signed DVD? Seeking Transcriber for DerrickJ’s Victimless Crime Spree

DVDFrontI’m looking for someone to transcribe Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree. This was a suggestion from Michael W. Dean last night on his podcast Freedom Feens. His reasoning was that if there are subtitles to the movie, then it can be translated into other languages. That would allow a much further reach for the movie and ultimately, the ideas of peaceful resistance and voluntaryism in action. I’d be happy to send a specially signed copy of Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree (Directors Cut) to any volunteer who transcribes the movie. If the movie doesn’t interest you, I can offer bitcoin instead. Be the first to get in touch with me at derrickjfreeman (at) gmail.com.

Vice News: Information Liberation Prosecutions

2013_schwartz_manning_assangePosted hours ago to Vice News was an article connecting the zealous prosecutions of Aaron Schwartz and Bradley Manning. John Cornyn, a US senator from Texas authored a letter to current US attorney general Eric Holder inquiring as to whether Schwartz’s FOIA requests related to Manning’s treatment were a motivating factor for his own prosecution. See DJ Pangburn’s article Aaron Swartz and Bradley Manning: How the US Government Contains Those Who Would Free Information.

When Swartz walked into the MIT server room to liberate millions of academic papers (freeing knowledge in the process), he was unwittingly opening the door to his very own cell alongside Manning. One need not be in a tiny room to feel the walls closing in. The law does a great job of that—the shadow of America’s boot heel spreading all around, snuffing out the light. Defendants are forced to deal: plead guilty and serve a short sentence, or fight the system and serve much more time. Justice indeed.
