With the Secret Service now investigating cocaine use by its agents in Columbia, I think it is a good time to point out some serious hypocrisy in the United States Code with regard to the 2nd Amendment.
Federal law in the United States makes it a serious federal offense to possess a firearm or ammunition if you are a user of illegal drugs:
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.

On Tuesday, April 24th I stopped by Keene State University to speak with Henry King, director of the Holocaust and Genocide Studies department. My visit was unannounced – motivated by my interest to share ideas that I thought overlooked by the program curriculum.
Despite the impromptu nature of my drop-in, King invited me to sit and for about ten minutes, we had a conversation. His colleague, department chair C. Paul Vincent, joined us about halfway through. It was a civil discussion but it was clear that we weren’t on the same page about some things – for example while I proffered that individuals have the same rights no matter where they’re born (and pointed-out that with that freedom comes personal responsibility – for more on this, check out the excellent 2-min video Chain of Obedience) King made mention of a “social covenant” that imparted rights as well as obligations.
Such an idea denotes that the individual is subservient to the majority. That doesn’t sync with me. After all groups don’t have rights, individuals have rights. A group of individuals doesn’t generate extra rights nor mitigate the rights of one individual.
Before we parted ways (King and Vincent were heading to lunch) I shared my contact information, we shook hands and said I’d be in touch via email.
For years I have been doing outreach at Keene State College. This normally consists of handing out fliers on campus, especially during class changes. Only this year did I ever encounter any trouble from campus security, when they threatened me with a no trespass order if I were to continue handing out information. Upon visiting with one of the college directors in his office, I inquired regarding their policy. I was told that not even KSC students may hand out fliers on campus! I was informed that I could have a table in the student center, just like the students can have. I would be allowed to sit behind the table, quietly, and only interact with people who came up to speak to me.
This was unacceptable to me. It’s highly ineffective. Why sit at a table all day or even for a few hours, when my friends and I can deliver hundreds of fliers in fifteen minutes during class change? Besides, aren’t college campuses advertised as the holy grail of free speech? What a bunch of nonsense.
So, last week on Thursday, I returned to the campus with new mover Daryl Perry. (more…)
Here Dave Ridley sets up to record a grievance panel hearing and a few of them try to boss around Ridley and mess with his equipment. It’s video that proves power goes to people’s heads, even the ones whose job it is to ostensibly check the power of other bureaucrats. To their credit they do apologize to him after the fact.

Is there anything than can stop this insane and nonstop abuse? Right now the grievance committee is hearing some of these cases, particularly Cheshire “superior” court’s John P. Arnold. Here are two stories from abused parents (at the hands of Arnold and his underlings), from Stop Judicial Child Abuse:

For those following, I wanted to keep you up to date on the latest word from the prosecutors. You can read the three latest e-mail below. I’m making the best of this bad situation by planning a cross-continent trip covering exciting activism while I am in exile. More on that project to come!
E-mail the Third:
Dear Mr. Horton,
I am pleased to report to you that Attorney McLaughlin is willing to accede to your request and make the period of suspension on his charges one year, rather than the originally envisioned two. Based on our previous e-mails, and your representation regarding a willingness to plead, the new proposed global resolution is as follows:
