From Your Cold Dead Hands

From Your Cold Dead Hands

Don’t register your guns! Don’t do it…

That old saying about someone prying a gun “from my cold dead hands” has taken on a whole new meaning in Buffalo, New York, where officials say they will cross-reference the names of those who register handguns with obituaries in an attempt to keep weapons off the streets.  It is interesting that they are not taking them off the street, they are taking them out of the homes…

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania (1759)

What the authorities in Buffalo will now do is go directly to the family if someone with a pistol permit has died and then - confiscate all the guns.

And it’s being called “ghoulish” by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

 This is not only a violation of the Second Amendment but the Fourth Amendment and the Fourteenth as well, taking property without due process or probable cause.  But then who in any government these days considers citizen’s constitutional God given rights to be valid.   How can one live in a “Constitutional Free Republic” without freedom a constitution or a Republic?  Well we can’t, but we gave that up clear back in 1913 and we have been heading like a race horse toward a Police State ever since.

“No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves.” -- John Jay First Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court

The city’s plan was outlined in a Fox News report Friday.

Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derrenda announced at a recent news conference that his department will be sending agents to collect guns that belong to pistol permit holders who had died “so they don’t end up in the wrong hands,” according to the report.

“This is the kind of behavior one might expect in a police state, but not the United States,” Gottlieb of CRKBA said. “But it proves that the anti-gun mindset knows no boundaries. From now on, no gun control zealot will be able to dismiss and ridicule the concerns of law-abiding firearms owners that there is no reason to fear gun registration, no matter what form it takes. This explains why gun owners are opposed to registration and other forms of record-keeping and permit laws.”

Law creates criminals:

“What’s worse,” Gottlieb, whose organization has more than 650,000 members, added, “is that this effort could forever drive a wedge between police and honest citizens whose only crime is that they exercised their freedom and  Second Amendment rights”.

 “The final insult,” he said, “is that 16 days after someone dies, his or her survivors could become criminals simply because they didn’t report a firearm, or maybe didn’t even know it existed. This is the most disgusting and disrespectful thing that someone could do to people who have just suffered the heartbreaking loss of a loved one. Derrenda should be ashamed.”

Fox News reported Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, said authorities once again are targeting law-abiding gun owners instead of focusing on protecting citizens.

“They’re quick to say they’re going to take the guns,” he said, “but don’t tell you the law doesn’t apply to long guns, or that these families can sell a pistol or apply to keep it.”

The report said state law specifies that the estate has 15 days to dispose of guns or turn them in. Violating the law is a misdemeanor.

TheBearingArms.com blog warned the policy could be “the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent to get at every firearm they can, hoping to remove all the firearms from the home while the family is at their most vulnerable.”

“THE BOTTOM LINE: No body of Government at any level has any legal authority to interfere with the force which backs citizen supreme authority, but it can affirm it, in respecting the Original Intent by the Founders who knew the history of abuse of due process in any time, any era, and of any government. This outrageous attack on our basic Constitutional rights is indicative of the ignorant mentality of some of our elected officials.

The Second Amendment as it is written: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. It is a documented reminder, that it is the Peoples Militia, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms, that secures the freedom of this Republic.

Conversely, without that armed security, government will do what governments do, and liberty will eventually fail…”
