Texas felon, on gun laws ( update )

Now all you have to check on is if it is LEGAL in Texas for you to posses Black Powder.... A Class A Explosive..... and that is a whole other issue....

 

.... as a reTIRED Powderman.... that was Licensed in three States.... There are very strict Federal Regulations for Possession of Class A Explosives... and the Federal Orange Book sets these out, and sets Quantities, that can be Stored, and Magazine Designs that MUST be adhered to,
as well as DOT Shipping issues.... Of course this does NOT APPLY to ANY of the BP Substitutes, as they are just Flammable Materials. The Regs were significant;y tightened after 9/11, and they haven't changed much since....

 

Well there you go.... You are all set... I think I still have a couple hundred pounds in the Magazine... Haven't checked it in a couple of years.....

 

I am certain there are a fair number of decent Americans who, when they were young made a few mistakes. And I am certain the government took full advantage of this and essentially created a situation where the citizen can no longer defend ones self from said government abuses, or to prevent harm to come to them from another. The implementation of tyranny is never a sensible one, although its methods clearly make sense in the way it transfers power from the people collectively and individually to government. I have known people who classify as a "felon", even if the crime was not violent --and after twenty years or more as a spotless, decent citizen are held in the same regard by the government. This is how slaves are made.

And just like any decent American who has an inalienable right to defend self and property, what the government doesn't know can't hurt them. The government would like very much to close the door on person-to-person sales of firearms, and have been attempting this for a long time. We should always remember that America has become a police state, with more inmates per capita than any nation on Earth. The supposed "land of the free" is in reality, just an abusive fascist empire hiding under the guise of a democracy, with nearly no knowledge of its former existence as a republic. From the government mandated curriculum and media indoctrination, to forced vaccinations and tainted food and water supplies, sterilization campaigns and constant Balkanization, it is no wonder how they managed to be so successful.

I am no fan of criminals, I would like to make that point clear. However, the line which separates a criminal today from a "law-abiding" citizen is so thin, that we are often times treated the same regardless. The police in many areas do not differentiate between a prison inmate and a free citizen, often treating people like criminals before trial by jury and becoming their executioners, too. The police seem to value their own lives more than performing their duty, which requires them to sometimes stand in harms way to accomplish their tasks. They wear body armor and typically do not stand alone, having plenty of support from their brethren. At the first sign of trouble, some police would rather kill than even allow the remote chance for violence to occur, many times killing an unarmed "perpetrator" in the act of committing no crime at all. The system is set up to protect the establishment, their corporate partners, and grant immunity to police who would rather kill than do the right thing. A police officer can easily kill and receive vacation, often paid, and very little administrative punishment, even if the person he killed was blatantly not a threat to them or others. A citizen must have laws to "protect" their inalienable rights in effect, and always prove they were in the right to use force against another. The citizen must also be arrested, property seized, incarcerated, processed and await trial, all the while losing wages from their place of employment, and most likely will never be able to seek compensation. In states where the Castle Doctrine is not well defined or even in place, much worse could happen. The families of the deceased could take legal action against the citizen, and additional charges can be administered by the state.

This is the country we live in today. Some would like to believe it is as close to perfection as it can ever be, and they are patriotic and proud, having served their country bravely and living a good, simple life. These people have not lived in areas which are rampant with violent crime and abusive police, or the circumstances in which they exist have led them to live in complete denial. This corrupt system receives much of its support from people like this, who often feel content with claiming the police are here to help us live good lives. Although it is true that in some rural towns across the nation, and in states where gun rights are not rampantly assaulted, the police and citizenry commonly have good relations since crime is kept in check to a fair enough degree it isn't a problem. These areas are quickly evaporating, though --slowly replaced by stormtroopers and gestapo tactics. And through all this, one standard remains the same: the collective power of the state. We should not forget the basic tenets of freedom, laid out in very clear writing by the founders of this great nation. We operate under the common law, and we are sovereign citizens with inalienable rights, each belonging to our individual states in the union. We should never accept the concept that we are simply citizens of "the United States", under Admiralty and to be assessed by colorable law known as codes and policies. The merchant law doctrine does not apply to free people. We should never grant authority to those who practice rule under arbitrary law.
