"Every Other Terrible Implement of the Soldier"

A recent court ruling by a panel of Constitutionally dyslexic judges has, once again, cost an American citizen their freedom for simply owning something they were born with the right to keep and bear,...a machine gun. Our founders viewed the People as a literal military force and thus entitled to all military weapons necessary to affect a robust defense against any military force, up to and including that of the United States itself, if ever necessary.

Let's go,
Royce Bartlett is the keeper in the bar of truth we know

laws are nothing less than overt acts of aggression against the American people
and their rights Besides your rights in a safe way Stupidity to think that someone
hell -bent on violating the law against murder Will magically be stopped by a gun
control law Politicians that infringe on our God -given rights He calls them out,
he's not here to play So turn it on to the end,

we're going to just dive back in time a little bit and talk about the militia.
Now I'm not going to go in depth on the militia. I just want to touch on one
primary simple or two, surrounding what the militia is, who the militia are,
and all in a modern context as to why we should not let ourselves be talked out
of our heritage as a militia, as military people.
That is our heritage. We descend from warriors. We descend from men who did not
want to be ruled, especially by tyrants and kings. And they stood up and they
fought and they won their freedom and ours too. And it's up to us to carry that
torch. It's up to us to continue to be willing to fight for the freedoms that they
won for us also. Now, who are and what is the militia?
Well, first of all, the term militia, you can look it up for yourself.
It has, it is a military connotation to the word, okay?
Maybe not in the same concept as the legions of Rome, but certainly in what a
local people who are armed and ready and able to defend themselves with whatever
weapons they deem necessary to affect a robust defense thereof. So the militia are
the people, according to the founders. That's right. The people are the militia, and
the militia are the people. And we're going to break down the Second Amendment in a
few minutes and look at exactly what they intended by the second amendment with the
use of the term and the concept militia. So first,
let me ask, well, is not a militia a military force? Well, there's no way you can
deny that, especially in light of history here in America. Our history is saturated
with the forming and use of militias for whatever reason to fight against foreign
invaders like the British a second time after we kicked their butts back across the
pond the first time, or even local skirmishes. America has been rife with conflict
since its beginning. I don't know if you really have paid much attention to this,
but there's always been some sort of clash or conflict in America, And the cause of
freedom has always been at a forefront. So yes, a militia is a military force,
okay? Well then that begs the question, what weapons then should a military force
such as a militia keep and bear? Nowhere in the writings of the founders and
nowhere in the sense of the word militia is there thing, even so much as implied
that the militia were to be lesser armed than a regular body of troops.
Nowhere. As a matter of fact, quite the opposite is true, the writings of our
founders, especially in places like Federalist Paper Number 46, it was very plain
they intended for the people to be just as well armed as the federal government
itself. So it's very unmistakable.
I don't, in order to miss what they really meant by the term militia and the
concept of the militia and the militia being the people, you have to be willfully
ignorant. You have to literally ignore our history as a country.
As a military force, which We, the people are, we are considered a military force.
Okay. Let, let that drive itself deep into your brain. The founders viewed the
people as a military force. Chew on that.
Well, if we have the right to arms of war and the same arms that our military
bears, and well, what weapons does our military keep in bear? All manner of weapons.
Mortars, machine guns, anti -aircraft guns, all sorts of crazy stuff. Oh, Royce,
we, the people aren't allowed to own those. Really? Where's the say that?
Especially when history flies in the face of such an ignorant argument. especially
when there were ships, privately owned ships, that were commissioned by the United
States government to act in a wartime capacity, bristling with cannons.
Okay, these were privately owned vessels. So what weapons does our military keep and
bear? Machine guns, fully automatic weapons, hand aids, you name it. So what weapons
should we be able to bear? The same thing, the exact same thing.
And this is for all of you liberals that might be listening and shaking your head,
the exact same types of weapons. Now, if you want to see what the founders really
intended or if you even uh, to the liberals, I'm speaking about the, do you even
care? How about we listen to what they say about, uh,
the term militia and the term arms and the right of the people to keep and bear
arms and anything that may raise its head in the future for when our founders
penned this, He wanted them to look back on the decisions made in their day and
maintain that spirit because here's a quote from Thomas Jefferson,
okay? He stated, "On every question of construction," meaning the construction of the
Bill of Rights and the Constitution, "let us carry ourselves back to the time when
the constitution was adopted. Let us recollect the spirit manifested in the debates
and instead of trying, what meaning can be squeezed out of the text or invented
against it conform to the probable one which was passed. All right.
What's the probable one that was passed? What is the second amendment that was And
what kind of meaning can you squeeze out of that to cover even a fraction of the
liberal position against arms?
Because there are judges and justices that we're going to read about in a little
bit who are so woefully ignorant of the Second Amendment, of the Supreme Law of the
land, of the intentions and wills of the founders, and they're making decisions that
are affecting people's safety, their liberty, their security, and throwing people in
prison for owning weapons that are covered by the Second Amendment.
All right, well machine guns aren't covered, but bull fertilizer, yes, they most
certainly are. What weapons does our military carry. Then we have the right to keep
and bear the same arms. Whether you like that or not doesn't matter to me.
That is the truth and that is exactly what they intended. And by the way, going
when it says let us carry ourselves back to the time when the construction of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights was adopted, let us recollect spirit manifested
in the debates, um, that is essentially the very nucleus of the Supreme Court Bruin
decision because that's what Claire Thomas says. Go back to the text and read the
text. Now, what history covers what you think you have a right to do in regard to
the Second Amendment. That's basically what the Bruin decision is. So speaking of
Bruin, let us, how about we, uh, we carry ourselves back and how about the spirit
of the times back when they were talking about the militia in regard to the
militia? What was the spirit of the times? Huh? What did the founders intend?
Well, according to the second amendment, they intended for the people, the common and
to be armed with the same war -capable arms as any other army on the planet might
possibly have, not just the government of the United States. Now,
the entire emphasis throughout the entire Second Amendment is this,
a well -regulated militia, which, of course, according to the founders,
was the people themselves. So the primary emphasis was an armed citizenry.
That was clearly their primary goal, especially since it ends with the right of the
people to keep and bear arms for war shall not be infringed.
Now, if you think I'm interpolating something there, when I put the words "for war"
in there, look up the 1828 NOAA Webster's Dictionary online. You can find it there
and type in the word "arms" and you tell me what comes up. So if you really want
to sum up the Second Amendment, let me give you a Royce version of what the Second
Amendment says. It's kind of what they call an explanatory version. An armed
citizenry, armed with sufficient weapons of war to affect the robust defense against
any and all threats to life and liberty, being necessary to maintaining a state of
freedom and security, the right of that armed citizenry to acquire,
own, build, and /or carry arms for war for their defense "shall not be hindered in
the least by any government within the Union, whether federal or state or local,
or their respective officials or agents." Do you understand that this,
how should I put it, this presupposes it, fundamentally presupposes that the
individual citizen must be allowed to keep guns, own guns to practice with guns to
train himself or be trained with firearms with guns and any other weapons of war in
order for there to be a functioning of militia that could be quickly mustered for
defense. That's what that boils down to right there. That's a fundamental
presupposition that the individual citizen must be able to do all those things. Now,
some people say, "Well, the National Guard, that's really the militia today." No,
it's not, Bull Fertilizer. That can't possibly be viewed as a constitutional militia
as, what should I say, as described or encompassed by the Second Amendment.
If for no other reason than the fact that guardsmen are prohibited from keeping
their own military arms. These firearms that they keep and bear are
Supreme Law says that we may keep and bear arms of war without government
infringement of any kind. We can keep them in our homes. We can keep them in our
means of conveyance. We can keep and bear them for our own defense anytime,
anywhere we want. Oh, but Royce, you know, the Second Amendment, that's not an
unlimited right. Really? No, really. Listen,
that is a fallacy. That is wrong. That does not square with the intentions and the
writings of the founders. Please explain to me what limitations were prescribed by
the text of the Second Amendment or by any of the founders and their extensive
writings. When did they ever lay or prescribe any limitations on what arms the
people were to bear. Hmm? I mean, 'cause to the contrary, they spoke as if there
were actually no limits at all. Oh, come on, Royce,
the Founders never said that. Listen to me. Here's Tench Cox. He asked,
"Who are the militia? Are they not we ourselves? Is it feared then that we shall
turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power,
that is, no constitutional authority to disarm the militia.
Well, that happened here in America in 1934, okay? It began, I should say.
He says Congress has no constitutional authority to disarm the militia. Listen,
listen, listen, Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier are
the birthright of an American. Tench Cox. Now,
like I said a second ago, mentioning the National Firearms Act and the Gun Control
Act of 1968 and all their little totalitarian legislative offspring,
they're all now being enforced readily and regularly. All the way from sea to
shining sea by totalitarians of every stripe and the propaganda wing of the Democrat
Communist Party has also done its work very well to the point that popular opinion
believes that citizens have no right to fully automatic weapons because they're
weapons of of war.
We have the right to weapons of war. That's a fallacy, by the way, that is
actually penetrated our court system. Yes, all the way up to the courts.
How many times have I talked about
erroneous, unconstitutional rulings against people on this program? A lot of you've
heard them. I mean,
it's in the system bad, they've got a lot of precedents now, unconstitutional
precedents that are fallen back upon and relied upon or used as an excuse to pass
an unconstitutional ruling.
Even the gun owning community has, we've got to redefine some of our popular guns
in order to defend ourselves against the charge of owning a weapon of war.
We don't want to be thought of like that. You know, it's as if we should repudiate
our militia heritage somehow. No, you're not going to cause me to give up my rights
at the cheap price of rhetoric. But anyway, we, many Gun owners have fallen for
this garbage. We feel like we have to defend ourselves against some of their
ridicule and their slanders and some of their terminology that they bring forth to
try to make us all look like a bunch of hooligans and crazed wackos waiting to
kill people. So I've even heard people on our side say, "Well,
it's not a weapon of war. My AR -15 is not a weapon of war. It's a modern
sporting rifle.
I don't like that term. Yeah, it's not really all that modern. It's been around
since the 50s. So, um, yeah, it's not, it's not, it's not entirely sporting.
And as a matter of fact, none of my AR -15s are for any kind of shooting sports.
My AR -15s and all the other weapons that I own are to be trained with.
I use them all for practical purposes. I do have hunting arms, but most of my guns
are arms that I could use to defend myself, my family, my neighborhood against just
all kinds of crazy threats. So it's not a weapon of war.
It's a modern sporting rifle. Well, I'll tell you what, mine can become weapons of
war very quickly. You know, that old 10 shot SKS semi -automatic rifle chambered in
the 762 by 39 that the Vietnamese used originally over there in Vietnam,
mm -hmm, out there in the jungle. Well, that was, you know, a 10 shot semi
-automatic rifle. Well, they use that as a weapon of war. Matter of fact,
bolt action rifles are weapons of war. They're still used in our military as a
sniper rifle. Yeah, the Remington 700 chambered in 308, some of them in 6 .5 creed
more and some in larger calibers like 300 Win Mag. Any weapon can be a weapon of
war. So for them to say you just, you own weapons of war,
what do you need that for? My response is, well, I hope I never need it, but if
I do, I'll have it right here. Well, I don't think you should have a weapon like,
I don't care what you think. Hey, matter of fact, I'm gonna loan you a hammer and
I'm gonna give you directions to the beach. And you know what you can do when you
get there with that hammer. Yeah, I'm not gonna let myself be bullied into shunning
my militia heritage by such stupid rhetoric, that's going to stop.
If I have my way, if I have anything to say about this, that's going to stop and
the gun owning community too. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go ahead and say
this loud and clear, so there's no ambiguity. ATF, listen up. We the people have
every right to own machine guns, to own hand age to own anti -tank and anti
-aircraft cannons, to own a 120 millimeter heavy mortar, I have the right to own and
drive a Bradley Fighting vehicle. Matter of fact, if I can afford an M1A1 Abrams, I
have the right to own and drive that too. So when some legislator crafts or votes
for any gun control law or any governor or president signs it, or when any judge
rules against the Second Amendment in any fashion, they're essentially committing an
act of treasonous aggression against the security of our free state because they're
infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms. They're directly assaulting
the militia, and the Second Amendment says plainly a well -regulated militia being
necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people shall not be
infringed. And there is no gun control law that you can ever prove to me is
constitutional on in any way, shape, or form. I, by the way, this right that we
fight for all the time in the court system, this costs way too much blood, too
much life, too much limb on foreign battlefields, too much time and money literally
going on still.
Whenever I read stories like we're going to read here in just a moment, probably
after the commercial break, we're willfully ignorant,
constitutionally dyslexic judges, hand down rulings that violate the Second Amendment.
And that's why this article just fries my backside like a three foot flame. And
we're going to talk about what's in this article when we come back and we're going
to tear this thing apart. Some judges rulings that assaulted the militia,
It will be right back after these brief commercial timeout messages from the world's
greatest sponsors. Stick around, we've got more to go on Shooting Straight.

Let's create your musical Steve, thank you. Welcome back to the program.
We've been talking about the militia, who it is, what it is,
how the militia is a military fighting force, how our founders, they viewed the
people as a military force. And as we went into the break,
I was talking about a Supreme Court judge or justices and judges who often ruled
against the second amendment and ruled and throw people in prison for freely exercise
and that right that had been bought and paid for with the blood, life and lemon,
bone and flesh and everything else of too many Americans for us to just hand the
thing over without a fight.
I referenced this article, and we're going to get into it right now, an article out
of Indiana. Now, one more time, we have every right to own machine guns. They are
covered and protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, the
Bill of Rights in particular. Here's an article by Leslie Bonilla Munoz.
Indiana Appeals Court affirms Second Amendment does not apply to machine guns really
well let's put some Royce on this thing first I'm going to refer you back to
episode number 674 just I think I don't I think that was it but talks that there
were two judges two judges have already plainly ruled the machine guns do indeed
fall under the protection of the Second Amendment so it's not like there's no one
ruling in favor of the 2A. There are some that do and they apply common sense and
they apply Bruin logic to their rulings, which is what they're supposed to do.
So here is the article. The Constitution's second amendment protections don't include
machine guns. The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled last week. Listen, citing existing
case law. Why are you citing existing case law?
If you're saying the Second Amendment does not protect machine guns, why did you not
cite the Second Amendment? That was a rhetorical question. I know why you didn't,
because the Second Amendment would blow your ruling right out of the water. Or for
that matter, why not cite the Bruin standard? Because that is the judicial standard
now. No, no, they cited existing case law, which means they're judicially lazy and
not willing to dig deeper and actually do the job they were hired to do. Back to
the article, the term machine gun includes fully automatic firearms and conversion
devices, according to the state of Indiana and their law against the ownership
thereof. See, this is not a federal case. This is a state case. My first assumption
when I read this was that this was an ATF case, but nope, they didn't get this
one, I guess. So anyway, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers arrested
a then 18 -year -old Jacob McGee toting a Glock 22 fitted with a conversion device
in 2023. He was convicted of a level five felony machine gun possession in Marion
Superior Court and sentenced to four years, two in community corrections and two
suspended to probation. McGee appealed. He argued Indiana's ban on machine guns
violates his constitutional right to bear arms and alternatively that there wasn't
enough evidence that he knew the Glock switch made his firearm into a machine gun.
Now here's the rub of that people. The young man was actually correct and the
judges were wrong. Seriously. These judges were either ignorant or malicious and
neither one is acceptable for somebody who holds the fate of somebody else in his
or her gavel. Okay. Anyway, back to the article in a February 19th opinion,
a three judge panel cited a long history of recognition that this constitutional
right is not unlimited. Really?
Well, that's not what the Founders said plainly. That is not what the Founders said.
Now listen, okay, here it is again.
Here's the same quote from Tench Cox, "Who are the militia? Are they not we
ourselves? Is it feared then that we shall turn our arms, each man, against his own
bosom? Congress has no constitutional authority, no power to disarm the militia.
Keep listening. Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier are
the birthright of an American and here is the rest of that quote. The unlimited
power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments
but where I trust in God it will ever remain in the hands of the people.
Okay one more time for all of you out there that think the Second Amendment has
limitations on it and that it is not an unlimited right. Okay here's Tench Cox.
"The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or
state governments but where I trust in God it will ever remain in the hands of the
people." That was Tench Cox, writing in the Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20th,
1788, three years before the Second Amendment was even pinned.
So first,
they're wrong. I mean, they're so wrong about this,
they're actually admitting that they cited cases that they agreed with rather than
actually cite the Supreme Law which shoots their decision down. So what about the
long 234 year history of the Second Amendment? Why was that not considered?
You talk about case law, and you talk about which you're citing as precedent, what
about the Second Amendment? 234 years, it's been part of our Supreme Law.
Why is it not even remotely considered in this decision? Also,
if what they say is true that it's not unlimited, they should be able to cite
exactly what limitations are considered constitutional, but they can't and that's why
they won't. The court agreed with the overwhelming number of federal district courts
and federal appellate courts that have uniformly concluded, in other words,
judicial laziness,
that the second amendments plain text does not protect machine guns because they're
dangerous and unusual weapons. Really? Where in the blipety blank and blipety blap Do
you read that anywhere in the plain text of the Second Amendment? Your honors?
Let's have a look at that plain text, shall we? Here we go. It's really easy.
Matter of fact, I'm going to close my eyes and quote it verbatim. A well -regulated
militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people
to keep in bare arms, shall not be infringed. Nowhere in that plain text do I see
the words "dangerous" and "unusual." Do you? Huh? No, no,
listen. You pack of constitutionally dyslexic morons. The word arms means arms for
war. War arms are, by design, dangerous. They're supposed to be.
Indian all weapons throughout the history of mankind have not only been dangerous but
they're actually kind of required to be dangerous in order to be described as a
weapon. Okay, just to rattle your cage a little bit and hope some common sense
falls into your ears somehow. So what about the word? Let's look at the word
weapon. Weapon. This is, you know, Merriam -Webster. Number one,
something such as a club, knife, or gun used to injure, defeat, or destroy. Number
two, anything designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage.
So, where do they get this idea that weapons, especially firearms, that have varying
degrees of lethality? I mean, a man can kill you just as quickly with a knife as
he could with a gun. But when it comes to firearms, we the people have the right
to have the same firearms as the government. That's really what it comes down to.
We have the right to the same weapons. You don't have the right to tell me, well,
you, you want guns that are unusual and dangerous or dangerous and unusual.
I don't know where that standard came from, but it could fly back into the depths
of hell from when it originated. Yes.
Weapons are required to be dangerous.
Guns are inherently dangerous when they are used properly.
Whatever they are pointed at is in danger of getting a whole board through it at
about 1200 feet to 3000 feet per second, depending on caliber. Yes,
guns are dangerous weapons. They're supposed to be dangerous weapons. They're designed
to be dangerous weapons, but they're only as dangerous as the person holding it.
They're only as evil as the heart of the person holding it. That's why if you look
at the overall gun violence, statistics in America, less than 1 % of gun owners
cause any kind of damage within this country at all. And that even includes,
unfortunately, the criminal ones. All right. So wait, one more thing.
All gun manufacturers, they put notices inside the boxes of their guns,
saying this, consider it to be loaded, consider it to be dangerous. Consider it to
be able to harm someone. It is dangerous by design.
It's designed to put a cartridge in it, a cartridge with a projectile mounted on
top of a charge of powder with a primer in the butt end of it.
So when the primer is struck, that powder explodes and sends that projectile down
the barrel at nasty speeds and whatever it hits is gonna be destroyed,
okay? So gun manufacturers say that their guns are already dangerous.
Who are you to say that, well, machine guns are dangerous and unusual, but your AR
-15s aren't? Because I tell you what, if they start really pressing the dangerous and
unusual standard, yeah, in spite of it being a fantasy, they can push that all the
way back to a six shot revolver. Okay. That so -called logic.
Secondly, it takes very little to make a weapon unusual. Yeah.
If you want to apply the dangerous and unusual, I tell you, how about, um, oh,
first First of all, what's the definition of unusual? Well, first it's an adjective,
and it means not habitually or commonly occurring or done. Well,
anybody that's ever seen a Chiapa Rhino revolver can say, well, that's an unusual
weapon. And there's a bunch of other weapons that are unusual. They're not in the
usual vein. Nowhere throughout the history of America was the dangerous and unusual
standard ever even mentioned because that was an invention in recent times.
Machine guns are not unusual weapons, not in the least.
They were first used in warfare back in 1862, a 100 years before I was even
freaking born. Exactly 100 years at that. Over 100 years before Royce Bartlett,
your huggable, lovable, squeezable host was born, there were machine guns on the
battlefields, there were hand cranked gatling guns, and they were improved on and
improved on and improved on up to the point where we now have motorized gatling
guns mounted than the noses of our A -10 warthogs that fly over and unleash a
hellish rain of depleted uranium shells on hapless tanks and turned them into steel
wool. So these things are not unusual at all.
One more time let me reference the Jurandani air rifle. That was definitely unusual.
It was certainly dangerous because it had a much higher rate of fire than any gun
of its time. What about the Kaltoff repeater? Spelled K -H -A -L -T -O -F -F.
Look it up. Yes, it was a repeating rifle on the flintlock design. It had a
magazine that held 15. It was unusual. Nowhere did the founders ever say,
"Well, if something unusual, we cannot keep it. We cannot let the people have it.
Nowhere. Let me throw something else out at you. Where,
within the text of the National Firearms Act or the Gun Control Act, do you find
those descriptive words dangerous and unusual? It's not even in those primary gun
control laws. Judge Nancy Vedic, who is the author of the opinion,
she said this, McGee's second amendment challenge thus fails. No,
lady. No, no, no, no, no. You and your fellow wiffly ignorant judges failed McGee.
You failed the Constitution. You failed to bring a righteous verdict because of your
lack of knowledge about the Constitution and about the founders, and it's your
judicial laziness and your personal bias against your fellow Americans that own
firearms. That's what it really is, Judge Vedic.
You have all now, all of you justices, Judge Vedic, you and the others there, the
other two. You've committed an act of deprivation of rights under color of authority.
Yes, yes 18 US code 242 and you need to be removed from the bench.
The judicial panel also decided there was enough evidence to support McGee's
conviction. I can't help but wonder if this was entrapment because it's funny he
bought this for 800 bucks the very day right before his arrest. Now it could be
coincidental but I don't know, something smells off about that. I'm not going to get
too deep in those weeds. But anyway, he did testify that the person he bought it
from told him what the switch on the back of the of the Glock was. And when asked
what one of those switches does, McGee repeating what the seller told him, said, it
makes your gun shoot faster, basically. But he also said he did not realize that it
would enable the firearm to shoot multiple bullets with a single press of the
trigger and from what I'm seeing with his appeal and why he appealed in the first
place I kind of believe him I think he was kind of ignorant about what the thing
was it said he bought it the day before did he have time to go shoot it anywhere
maybe maybe not doesn't say he bought ammo for it That's 40 cal ammo.
A box of that where I work is about $18 and I know it's a lot more than that
other places. So was he able to acquire ammo for it?
Did he actually go shoot it and actually test it to see what it would do? Well, I
don't know if he did. I kind of think he didn't.
The trial court opined that McGee still understood the switch would amplify the gun's
ability to fire beyond semi -automatic functions. Well, so can Jerry Michalak,
but you know, Judge Nancy Vedic wrote that he'd asked her court, that McGee had
asked her court to re -weigh the evidence and she said, "Which we don't do." Well,
of course not. You morons are already too lazy to weigh all the evidence correctly
the first time, so why should anybody expect you to try again? Vedic concluded the
evidence is sufficient to prove McGee knew the switch made his gun a machine gun.
Well, so what? He's allowed to own a freaking machine gun. I tell you what, the
evidence is also sufficient to prove that you are a constitutionally dyslexic brain
jackass. You got no business sitting on the bench because you're not able to
comprehend the supreme law in all of its basic simplicity. You see people?
This constitutional notion needs to be propagated over and over and over and
inculcated over and over and over to each other, to our friends,
to our loved ones, to people who want to know, to people who don't want to know.
Tell them anyway. You need to tell them we the People are viewed, were viewed by
our founders as a military force. We have the right to own military weapons.
And anybody that says contrary to that does not understand the second amendment. That
includes judges, justices, governors, presidents, elected officials,
legislators. I don't care who the heck you are, police officers, federal office, it
doesn't matter. If you do not understand that we the people have every right to the
same guns that the federal government has, keeps and bears, then you don't have a
firm grasp on the Constitution. Now if you're going to jump off right into that
idiocy of, well then everybody's going to be running around just machine gunning each
other. It wasn't like that prior to 1934, except for of course Al phone and his
men killing each other, but they let them kill each other off, whatever. But the
innocent people who had their rights taxed out of existence, they weren't the ones
doing it. They were peaceable. They didn't try to harm each other. Matter of fact,
even today, with people to still own machine guns in America, they paid for the
bloody tax stamps and everything else, there are only two, two people, two incidents
where people or citizens used lawful fully automatic weapons to kill another human
being and one of them was arguably self -defense.
Let's get the truth inculcated back out there. I'm not going to play defense on
this crap anymore. You shouldn't either. Next time some jackass says, "Well, that's a
dangerous and unusual weapon." He said, "Well, no, it's not unusual at all, but yes,
all weapons are supposed to be dangerous. That's what makes them dangerous."
on that. That is a huge steaming pile of bull fertilizer. Stay in contact with your
reps, stay in contact especially with your local reps, your state reps that is,
and you do your fighting on the state level because look what's going on here in
Indiana, okay? There's a bunch of other states I could have talked about in things
tonight but suffice it Um, uh, we need to drive this point home.
Uh, so stay in contact with your reps, remind them that the militia are the people
and the people are the militia. And we have the right to fully automatic firearms.
Also, once again, no matter how bad you might hate the ATF, it's simply not enough,
hate them more Royce.
