Wayne LaPierre Speaks with 95% of the Truth on U.N. GUN BAN!

Visit my blog at the American Common Defence Review!​

:barf:
NRA Stop the U.N. Gun Ban Web Site
:cuss:
Watch Wayne LaPierre's introduction video at the web site above!​

Then read the following and you will realize that Wayne LaPierre isn't telling you the whole truth! He outright lies about the status of the U.N. gun control agenda and any "Programme of Action" the U.N. creates as having authority over U.S. citizens. TRUTH IS: The provisions of any U.N. treaty or compact, whether in part or in whole, that conflicts with our U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights has no legal effect or authority over the citizens of the United States. Congress can pass legislation or initiated the constitutional amendment process to counter-act any U.N. traty or compact. This is part of the check and balance system with the Executive Branch and the Senate committee responsible for treaties act contrarily to our U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

:banghead:
I have been trying to get the NRA to help me with my Second Amendment case for the last 4 years. They just won't listen to reason.

I am the Unrepresented Plaintiff in HAMRICK v. PRESIDENT BUSH, et al, U.S. District Court/DC, No. 03-2160, RICO Act case for the Second Amendment. Dismissed with prejudice; Appealed, DC Circuit, No. 04-5316, Dismissal of RICO claims affirmed, Remanded on Second Amendment grounds. Pending on Motion for Rehearing & Rehearing En Banc disputing RICO Claims dismissal. Case is for National Open Carry Handgun. NRA refuses to help because their agenda is National Reciprocity for Concealed Carry.

Read the following and judge for yourself. If you don't like what Wayne LaPierre did not tell you then throw your support to my Second Amendment case presently in the federal courts of Washington, DC
:

The Second Amendment & International Treaties​
CORPUS JURIS SECUNDUM
VOLUME 87: TREATIES​
II. Construction and Operation

87 C.J.S. § 6. Generally


Generally, questions as to the construction, and operation of treaties viewed as contracts between independent nations are questions for the political departments of the contracting powers and not for the courts. Accordingly, respect is ordinarily due the reasonable views of the Executive Branch concerning the meaning of an international treaty. Nevertheless, since treaties in their effect on private rights are in the nature of legislative acts, and are binding on the courts, it is often necessary where such rights are involved for the courts to construe treaties. In such cases, the courts have the power, and the duty, to construe the treaty, and they have the power to determine whether a treaty is applicable to the case under consideration, and the duty to apply it if found applicable. Thus, a treaty, no less than a statute, may confer judicial power.

III. Duration, Modification, Suspension, and Termination

87 C.J.S. § 10. Generally — Effect of abrogation.

In the absence of a showing that a treaty provision violates the Federal Constitution, the courts may not abrogate or annul a treaty provision. However, where one party to a treaty abrogates it, the other party is relieved from all obligation under it.

87 C.J.S. § 11. Modification or amendment

In the absence of a showing that a treaty provision violates the Federal Constitution, courts may not alter, amend or add to any treaty by inserting any clause since to do so would constitute an usurpation of power and would not be an exercise of judicial function.

87 C.J.S. § 12. Manner of termination — Termination by constitutional amendment or by Congress

In the United States[,] Congress may abrogate by a formal act or resolution directly abrogating the treaty, or by legislation which by necessary implication results in abrogation. The intent of Congress, however, must be clear. Moreover, a treaty may be abrogated by the adoption of an amendment to the Federal Constitution and the enactment of a federal statute giving operative effect to such amendment which is in conflict with such treaty provisions.

87 C.J.S. § 12. Manner of termination — Effect of War.

Treaties may be of such a nature as to their object and import that war will put an end to them, war does not, always or necessarily dissolve or terminate treaties between the contending powers. The question whether the stipulations of a treaty are annulled by war depends on their intrinsic character, and provisions compatible with a state of hostilities, unless expressly terminated, survive, and those which are incompatible fall.

IV. Relation To, and Conflict With, Other Laws

87 C.J.S. § 13. Generally


Without express authority from Congress, or authority otherwise clearly indicated, the courts are bound to recognize treaties as lawfully made. However, the courts have the authority to declare the invalidity of a treaty in a proper case where the rights of citizens are involved.

87 C.J.S. § 14. Acts of Congress

Treaties and acts of Congress, are placed on the sam footing and are of like obligation, so that neither having any inherent superiority over the other, either may supersede the other. Even so, neither treaties nor laws passed pursuant to them are free from the restraints of the United States Constitution, such as the Bill of Rights.

87 C.J.S. § 15. State Constitutions and Statutes

The provision of the Federal Constitution that this Constitution and the laws and treaties of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, and binding on the judges in every state, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding, makes treaties superior to both the constitutions and laws of the several states, including the common law of a state, insofar as it is in conflict with the provisions of a treaty. Valid treaties areas binding within the territorial limits of the states as throughout the dominion of the United States. States must adhere to United States treaties and give them the same force and effect as any other federal law, since they are considered to be of equal dignity with acts of Congress, but not superior to the Federal Constitution. A treaty must be regarded as a part of the law of a state, as much as are the state’s own local laws and constitution, and is effective and binding on the state legislature.

With all due respect...

With all due respect you seem to have your own agenda. The NRA has theirs.

I may be a fool. I've been one before. When the latest call for donations from the NRA came out I had the cash on hand and I donated.

I've been to your site. It's... colorful.

Frankly, though, I have to side with the NRA. They may not move in the direction I'd pick every time but they have obtained SOME results. They at least have a track record. You are an unknown quantity and I don't hold out much hope that your agenda will get very far, with or without me.

Let me advise that you drop inflammatory language such as "scam artist" if you have a true disagreement over which way legal battles should be fought. If your arguement is stronger and your points more salient then your arguement can win on its own merits. Making ad hominem attacks, no matter how deserved, do nothing to strengthen your position.
 
TO: Hyunchback

YOUR OPINION & OBSERVATIONS ARE 100% ACCURATE.

I don't hold out much hope in winning my case either.

I'll revise my blog as you suggest.
 
Hi All-

The inflammatory language of the original post turned me off and I didn't even bother to visit the hyperlinks at that point...

~ Blue Jays ~
 
TO BLUE JAYS

Okay, I have toned it down.

I'm trying!

But I am disappointed that you apparently did not read the rest of the message. Because the rest of the messages is the reason for the inflammatory remarks.

You seem to have reacted to the mere presence of the inflammatory remarks.

You see, I wrote intentionally that way because Wayne LaPierre's rendition of treaties and the status over U.S. citizens isn't exactly true. And his misrepresentations were designed to inflame the viewer into action on his version of the truth.

Wayne LaPierre's video presentation and the misstatements he made inflamed me to write my rebuttal. That is a prerogative of the writer, to write what he feels in reaction to something. If his passions are inflamed and political correctness of a forum such as this coerces him into a subued version of his true reaction then he is socially blackmailed into writing misstates of his own. So, he himself becomes less honest with the truth.

Emotions are essential in politics. Wayne LaPierre played to our emotions boasting the importance of the NRA in global governance. We would not need the NRA if every American interacted directly with Congress, the Executive Branch and the Judicial System.

If there were a flood of civil lawsuits against the U.S. Government in federal courts all across the country over the actions of the Federal Government, if there were a flood of everything to Congress and the Office of the President on every issue affecting the Bill of Rights there would be alot less shennanigans to be inflamed about. Pasivity and blandness in reactions from the People is what Government thrives on.

They are taking away our guns.

Now you are taking away our voice: The inflamatory speech designed to motivate people into action.

Just my thoughts.

The NRA seems to have a problem with "...shall not be infringed."​

Thank you.

The Holy Grail of Second Amendment rights is "open cary" in intrastate and interstate travel. My case pursues that Holy Grail just to make a statement on how the U.S. Government is treating its own citizens.
 
What makes you look like a tinfoil hat-wearing fruitcake is that you're linking completely unrelated subjects.

From what I can make out, the NRA has declined to assist you in a lawsuit that was your idea, that you initiated, and that you filed four years ago.

Whatever someone might think of that, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the NRA's fundraising efforts or their statements on UN weapons policies.

If you don't think you are going to win the case, why would you start a case you feel is a loser? To make sure that more bad precedent is established as law on the Second Amendment in at least one circuit? Suppose the Supreme Court decides to take that case so they can shoot it down?

For that matter why would you complain about the NRA not helping you when you yourself seem to consider the case a loser? Are you suggesting that the NRA should fund efforts to establish bad precedent for gun rights?

IS: The provisions of any U.N. treaty or compact, whether in part or in whole, that conflicts with our U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights has no legal effect or authority over the citizens of the United States.

Which is completely true; but you assume that the Court will rule that the Second Amendment is an individual right and that isn't necessarily the case. LaPierre is absolutely right to note that this represents a real threat that we should be aware of...

QUESTION FOR ALL: How do I include someone's rebuttal as quoted text in my rebuttal without having to copy & past and use the INDENT feature?

YES THE LAWSUIT WAS MY IDEA, I INITIATED IT 4 YEARS AGO.

YOU ARE A FOOL TO SAY "it has nothing whatsoever to do with the NRA's fundraising efforts or their statements on UN weapons policies."

Wayne LaPierre goes around ranting about Rebecca Peters and her work for IANSA but says nothing about piracy attacks on merchant ships on the high seas.

I wish I could take the time to give you the details but my union, the Seafarers Intl Union (SIU) has their training facility at Poiny Pt, Maryland. The U.S. Governemnt's Military Sealift Command imposes small arms training requirements for American seafarers taking employment aboard U.S. Government vessels of the MSC fleet. If you want the U.S. Navy document for this training I'll supply you with the URL for the PDF version of it. SIU has a Small Arms training course.

http://www.seafarers.org/phc/PhotoGallery/recert/index.xml?image=/phc/PhotoGallery/recert/srec04.jpg

While our U.S. Government and seafarers unions require small arms training for ships of the U.S. Government fleet the International Maritime Organization, (IMO) opposes the use of firearms aboard ships. The IMO is a sub-organization of the United Nations!

PIRACY AND ARMED ROBBERY AGAINST SHIPS:
Guidance to Shipowners and Ship Operators, Shipmasters and Crews on Preventing and Suppressing Acts of Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships


MSC/circ.623/Rev.3 Dated 29 May 2002


Firearms

45 The carrying and use of firearms for personal protection or protection of a ship is strongly discouraged.

46 Carriage of arms on board ship may encourage attackers to carry firearms thereby escalating an already dangerous situation, and any firearms on board may themselves become an attractive target for an attacker. The use of firearms requires special training and aptitudes and the risk of accidents with firearms carried on board ship is great. In some jurisdictions, killing a national may have unforeseen consequences even for a person who believes he has acted in self defence.

In 2002 I reported aboard a U.S. Government ammunition vessel coming out of the shipyard in Newport News (empty of munitions). As a new crew member I was required to take a Small Arms Recertification course which I passed. I send in my application to the U.S. Coast Guard in Washington, DC for an endorsement on my Merchant Mariner's Document (ID Card) to read "National Open Carry Handgun." The USCG denied the application.

That is the crux of my problem. The U.S. Government compells American civilian seafarers to take up arms in defense of U.S. Government vessels but denies those same seafarers the right to openly keep and bear arms ashore in the United States while in intrastate and interstate travel. These implicate Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

Compound that with the fact that the Dept of Homeland Security has general superintendence over the U.S. merchant marine and the fact that extra security duties have been imposed upon us via the Code of Federal Regulations but not one provision on the use of firearms for Able Seamen who perform those security duties. This is insanity. This is part of my Second Amendment case. My case involves volumes of legal argument.

This is why I get pissed off at people who do not know the facts about my case when they spit out insulting and inflammatory remarks dragging may name through the made.

Have some respect for me, dammit! Whether you know it or not, I deserve respect and recognition for my Second Amendment case!

I my blog goes into that in the section on Dred Scot v Sanford and Frederick Douglass.

My case demands NRA involvement because it includes far more than what the NRA advocates.
 
TO: Bartholomew Roberts

I started my case in 2002 because I was naive about the courts. I did not know how corrupt the federal courts are. They used every dirty trick in the book to keep me from going to trial. After fear 4 years and a trip to the U.S. Supreme Court (denied) I am on the threshold of going to trial.

Now, I have to fight your bigoted opinions just because you don't know the facts about my case and won't give me the benefit of the doubt?

I cannot fight your prejudice. I have given you facts but you ignore them in favor of slamming me in the mud!

Go to hell!
 
There are some awesome pics on that seafarer's.org link!!!

This is rich! rofl:

Must be "photo ops" pictures. Note the lack of ear protection and safety glasses. The tall African-American guy on the site is the only one I saw with ear plugs in.
 
"We would not need the NRA if every American interacted directly with Congress, the Executive Branch and the Judicial System."

Then I guess we need the NRA because most of them don't even bother to vote, much less interact directly.

Mr. Hamrick, I would suggest that a U.S. Merchant Seaman making pro se (representing himself with no lawyer) appeals to the Supreme Court is very unlikely to get you the results you seek and that the reason NRA is not supporting your effort is because they realize it is unlikely to help the cause.

Likewise, charging the U.S. Supreme Court with extortion under RICO because it asked you to pay the filing fee that all U.S. Supreme Court cases pay is also not a strategy likely to garner much success. For informative purposes here is Mr. Hamrick's appeal to the Supreme Court (DENIED CERT):

Hamrick v. Bush said:
A. The Scope of the Second Amendment as an Individual Right
Whether the scope of the Second Amendment as an individual right (avoided by the U.S. Department of Justice in their Memorandum Opinion for the Attorney General, titled, Whether the Second Amendment Secures an Individual Right, dated August 24, 2004, but nevertheless determined it to be an individual right) extends that individual right to be openly armed (holstered sidearm) in intrastate and interstate travel, whether licensed or not.
Whether the U.S. Department of Justice's Memorandum Opinion on the Second Amendment provides the basis to overturn Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia's dismissal with prejudice of Petitioner's Case Nos. 02-1434 (Constitutional Tort Claims for Damages) and 02-1435 (Writ of Mandamus); and Judge Reggie B. Walton of the same court's dismissal with prejudice of Petitioner's RICO Act Case No. 03-2160
Whether the Second, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment must now be incorporated with the rest of the Bill of Rights through the Fourteenth Amendment as binding upon the States.
Whether the "United States" being omitted in the second sentence of Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment gives the United States government the power to make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States or shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law or deny to any *iv person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
B. Stare Decisis Based on United States v. Miller 307 U.S. 174 (1939).
Whether stare decisis based on Miller must now be abandoned.
C. The U.S. Merchant Seaman & the Second Amendment
Whether 33 CFR § 104.220 imposes an unacceptable risk of injury or death for unarmed crew members performing security duties in accordance with the International Ship & Port Security (ISPS) Code, Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) XI-2, and the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) 2002 and whether such crew members must be armed in the performance of such security duties.
Whether the following laws compel the Coast Guard to issue the Petitioner the requested National Open Carry Handgun or Small Arms and Light Weapons endorsement on his Merchant Mariner's Document (MMD) when the Able Seaman is required by U.S. Government regulations to attend small arms training as a prerequisite for employment aboard U.S. Government vessels in accordance with 46 U.S.C. § 7306(a)(3) and that Able Seaman is not a prohibited person from owning or possessing firearms under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), et seq.:
(1) Section 611 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 (Public Law No. 108-293, August 9, 2004), authorizing and establishing the Merchant Mariners Documents Pilot Program which states: "The Secretary of the department in which the Coast *v Guard is operating may conduct a pilot program to demonstrate methods to improve processes and procedures for issuing merchant mariners' documents.";
(2) Section 217 of that same Act adds new Subsection (y) to 14 U.S.C. § 93 for "General Powers of the Commandant" which states: "after informing the Secretary, make such recommendations to the Congress relating to the Coast Guard as the Commandant considers appropriate.";
(3) Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. § 3501, et seq.;
(4) OPNAVINST 3591.1C Small Arms Training and Qualification;
(5) ATF Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record;
(6) The Oath of Office Form CG-9556 (Rev. 6-04).
D. Government Racketeering and the Second Amendment.
Whether U.S. Supreme Court committed extortion under 18 U.S.C. § 872 as a predicate act of "racketeering activity" under the RICO Act under 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1) and whether the Supreme Court violated its own Rule 40(2) in addition to violating the Seamen's Suit law, 28 U.S.C. § 1916 by requiring the Petitioner to pay the Court's filing fee as a condition before accepting Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Certiorari as filed.
Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit committed extortion under 18 U.S.C. § 872 as a *vi predicate act of "racketeering activity" under the RICO Act under 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1) and whether the DC Circuit violated the Seamen's Suit law by requiring the Petitioner to pay their filing fee before the DC Circuit would accept Petitioner's appeals.
Whether PACER fees are exempt from payment by U.S. seamen under 28 U.S.C. § 1916. And whether the federal courts must inform PACER of the exemption on motion to the court or whether PACER must comply with 28 U.S.C. § 1916 on its own accord upon presentment of a U.S. Merchant Mariner's Document or copy thereof as proof of identity as a seaman by the Plaintiff/Petitioner.
E. The Second Amendment v. International Treaties & Conventions
Whether treaties with or conventions of the U.N. Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All its Aspects and the Programme of Action resulting thereof in conjunction with the U.N. Department of Disarmament Affairs' Disarmament Agenda for the 21st Century (DDA Occasional Papers No. 6, October 2002) and in conjunction with the U.N.'s International Maritime Organization's Maritime Safety Committee's Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships: Guidance to Shipowners and Ship Operators on Preventing and Suppressing Acts of Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships (MSC/Circ.623/Rev.3 dated May 29, 2002)'s anti-gun recommendations in paragraphs 45 and 46 can rule supreme over, even though repugnant to, the United States Constitution and its Second Amendment threatening to deny U.S. merchant seamen their Second Amendment right keep and bear arms in the United States.
 
Food for Thought, calling other posters fools and bigots is not exactly the way to come off as a thoughtful, reasonable person.
 
While a UN treaty, agreement or whatever name you want to assign it may not be legally binding technically, it does give the apppearance of legitimacy to gun controllers who can say, "The United States is not in compliance with the UN treaty on small arms". Then they can push laws through and, presto, we've brought our laws into allignment with the treaty. It's a bait and switch.
 
To get good court precedent on 2A, the case and forum
must be vetted very, very well. This is why both sides
are not eager to rush to just any court with just any
case.
 
sounds like someone is attacking the NRA ,the strongest defenders of the 2nd ammendment,,,,,yer either fer me or agin me!!
 
Another thought:

Since when has the fact that the constitution specifically outlines some act as "lawful" or "unlawful" or otherwise right/wrong had the slightest bit of a damn thing to do with how politicians abuse us?

The constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on unless politicians live in fear of breaking its rules, and they don't in the slightest anymore (McCain-Feingold, anyone?).

~GnSx
They've been abusing the constitution since the 1790s, do you think they'll stop now?
