Yes, that's why I advocate against the USSA & all nations for that matter.

What we need is governance not government. Governance has been, can be, & should be provided by institutions that are voluntarily hired, financed, & fired. That is the solution to the cycle you descibe in the 2nd paragraph.

Vlad, Obviously, I disagree that the constitution hasn't failed. As the anti-federalists warned it created an empowered govt that can oppress. In other words, the institutional framework it created is flawed. That's the gist of the Patrick Henry quote I read. Read the whole speech of his it's great http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Henry%27s_speech_in_the_Virginia_Ratifying_Convention I get your point about the extreme danger of a constitutional convention today. I agree that such a thing would be a disaster. However, I'm coming at this as a libertarian anarchist. There is no way to make govt work as advertised. Constitutionalism has failed everywhere it's been tried. Ours is not the only failed one. Even the worst communist dictatorships had constitutions guaranteeing all kinds of rights. Not once has a constitution contained a govt. Time to face reality & move on to something that works, a stateless society.

This is the speech I gave at the 2nd Amendment Awareness Rally & Open Carry March! .223 2014! My message that the constitution has failed went over better than I thought it would. It says a lot about this crowd that we can have differences of opinion and still respect each other. http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-broken-constitution-video.html

Darren Wolfe gives a powerful speech about liberty at the Veterans March on Valley Forge National Park on Sunday, October 13, 2013 http://www.theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/10/bringing-liberty-to-valley-forge-video.html

The first indication that Philadelphia, the biggest city in Pennsylvania, was starting to understand that people can legally open carry their guns came on May 18, 2013 at the End the Fed rally. As previously reported here by The International Libertarian, Edd Skitz was stopped by a police officer and asked for his license to carry a firearm. On seeing this my first though was "oh no, here we go". I was pleasantly surprised when seconds later Edd was continuing his way, gun still on his hip. One week later came the Philadelphia Gun Rights Rally http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/05/philadelphia-finally-gets-that-we-can.html

After being arrested on Saturday May 18, 2013 liberty activists Adam Kokesh and NA Poe had their detention hearings the following Thursday. NA Poe was released while Adam Kokesh has chosen not to reveal his address to the government for fear of his residence being raided and his belongings taken. For this reason Adam remains in federal custody. He has another hearing scheduled for Tuesday May 28th. http://www.theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/05/adam-kokesh-remains-behind-bars-na-poe.html

At the End the Fed (Federal Reserve System) Rally of Saturday, May 18, 2013 Edd Skitz, a local liberty activist, open carried a handgun in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/05/open-carrying-gun-in-philadelphia.html

The problem is the police themselves. If police forces didn't exist there wouldn't be enforcement of bad law.

Interesting discussion. As you can tell from the video I was standing right by Adam. He wasn't smoking anything. The cops made a bee line right for him. It was plainly obvious they were out to get him, probably because of his 4th of july march on DC https://www.facebook.com/events/252728144871259/ If you want to help please join the call flood tomorrow: https://www.facebook.com/events/376600445792905/

At Smokedown Prohibition V Adam Kokesh is targeted for arrest even though it is obvious he isn't smoking marijuana. This happened on May 18, 2013 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA. http://www.theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/05/smokedown-prohibition-v-adam-kokesh-and.html

The weather was as changeable as the gun haters' rhetoric. It started cloudy, then the sun came out, then it rained. First, they said they want to ban so-called assault weapons, then they said they don't want to take our guns. Not once did they express a concern for liberty, the most precious value. So it went in Morrisville, PA on May 11, 2013 at the Pre-Mother’s Day March against Gun Violence. http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/05/in-gun-grabbers-faces-counter.html

Magazine limits can kill good guys MB Studio Productions High Capacity Magazine PSA The strong undercurrent of proposals to further limit your rights, in particular the constant hype over magazine capacity, constantly ignores the practicalities of potential dangers in defensive situations, in favor of the useless and dangerous assumption that limits make people safer. This dramatization is all too possible. http://jpfo.org/alerts2013/alert20130501.htm#magvid

People I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble here, I'm just trying to get some support. We go into NJ from PA to support various causes & several NJ libertarians I know are often over here. You don't have to even have a gun much less carry it at the rally, your presence alone is enough. I plan on bringing nothing deadlier than my video camera. "And all of this deals with NEW JERSEY how?" It doesn't directly deal with NJ. Since the tyrants work together across state lines & even borders we should too. BTW, the NJ 2A Society regularly has a presence at gun shows here in PA. They are always more than welcome to come here to seek our support. I would think some reciprocation would be in order.

Since the mayor of Philly has made it illegal to carry in public parks this is civil disobedience. Join us at Love park in Philadelphia. ****************************************************************************************************************************** Saturday, May 25, 2013 10:00am [*] The 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution states: Quote: 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. Article 1, § 21 to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Constitution states: Quote: The right of the citizens to bear arms in defence of themselves and the State shall not be questioned. And Title 18 § 6120 of the Pennsylvania Code states: Quote: No county, municipality or township may in any manner regulate the lawful...possession...of firearms...when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth. And yet, Philadelphia's Mayor Michael Nutter has signed into law an ordinance that SPECIFICALLY makes it a crime for people who are licensed by the State to carry firearms for self-defense to exercise their rights while in public parks. This is unacceptable. And ILLEGAL. We will not be made into criminals. We will not be punished for the bad acts of others who have no respect for their fellow man. And we will not tolerate being restricted from exercising our freedoms just because some Mayor thinks he is above the law! Join me on May 25th in Philadelphia as we protest this outright violation of State law, and make ourselves heard. March with me through Philadelphia, from Love Park to the People's Plaza for the "Save The 2nd" rally, and let us make sure the entire city knows that we are not going to allow our right to self-defense to be stripped away from us in a time when we need it the most! If you have any way to contribute - sign making, bringing along a bullhorn, can provide snacks and refreshments while we march - let us know! https://www.facebook...45811052166607/

Supporters, opponents of gun control rally in Montco The gun control controversy came to the streets of the Montgomery County seat Thursday. About 30 supporters of gun control rallied on the steps of the county courthouse in Norristown on national “Day to Demand Action” against gun violence that was organized in the county by Lower Merion United and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Across the street and separated by sheriff deputies and Norristown police, another group of about 15-plus loudly made their displeasure known for any attempt to put additional controls on gun purchases and ownership. http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/loca...e697829ce.html

You know you're doing something right when the establishment press takes the time to lambaste you. That is what happened to the liberty-minded people standing up for gun rights at Coatesville, PA's gun buy. Here's what the Daily Local News had to say about us: http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2013/03/gun-rights-activists-not-welcome-in.html

An invaluable source of intellectual ammo! Gun Facts 6.2 released JPFO has had a link for some time to Gun Facts 6.0 -- an invaluable PDF file, available in various incarnations for 12 years. This is now superceded by the recent release of Gun facts 6.2 -- nearly double the size, 117 pages, and packed full of more firearms myths than imagineable. We thank Guy Smith for his huge effort in putting this together and suggest you pay a visit to his website and learn more about his efforts, how to support his work, as well as obtaining a Spanish version if needed. In these times of extreme threat to the gun owner and the Second Amendment, it is vital to have information on hand to enable solid arguments to be put forward, debunking the many dozens of myths that are constantly promulgated. No one should be without this priceless reference source. http://jpfo.org/aler...ert20130322.htm
