...and their purpose in being introduced in the Gun Control Act of 1968 was to set us up for what is happening today with a coterie of very wealthy subversives and enemy agents now finding it an easy job to sucker gun owners into voting for universal background checks. Bloomberg and his cronies have already won their Universal Background Checks initiative in Washington State and I think a similar law has previously been passed in Colorado.
Background checks as a precondition to receiving government permission to exercise a right -- any right -- are illegal, and here is why:
THE PRACTICE OF COMPELLING A SEARCH OF A CITIZEN'S PERSON, PAPERS, AND EFFECTS AS A PRE-CONDITION TO ISSUING OR DENYING "PERMISSION" TO EXERCISE A RIGHT GOVERNMENT HAS NO DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO ISSUE OR DENY IN THE FIRST PLACE IS A DIRECT, INTENTIONAL, AND EGREGIOUS VIOLATION OF THE FOURTH, FIFTH, AND TENTH AMENDMENTS OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND AN A PRIORI RESTRAINT ON THE SECOND. –Donald L. Cline
The Fourth Amendment because a Form 4473 is an interrogation under penalty of perjury, aka a search of the person in the absence of probable cause of any crime having been committed and in the absence of probable cause that the purchaser of a firearm committed the crime.
Purchasing a firearm is not a crime and is not probable cause of a crime. Do you know of any other Constitutionally-guaranteed right that requires a government-mandated interrogation to determine if you are "worthy" of receiving permission to exercise the right?
The Fourth Amendment is also violated by the NICS checks subsequent to the aforementioned interrogation, for it is a search of the papers and effects of the purchaser that happen to be on public file, and it, too, is absent any probable cause.
The Fifth Amendment guarantee of due process prior to rights being deprived is also violated: Again, purchasing a firearm is not a crime and is not probable cause of a crime., and compelling an illegal interrogation under threat of criminal sanction and a search of your papers and effects is notdue process.
The Tenth Amendment is violated because no authority is delegated to the federal government to even license firearm dealers, let alone set up a system of regulations to deny disfavored individuals their rights or to allow favored individuals to exercise a government privilege in lieu of the citizen's God-given rights. And the Tenth Amendment denies to States any power prohibited to them by the Constitution, and the Constitution prohibits State interference in the private individual right to keep and bear arms with the Second Amendment.
The Gun Control Act of 9168 is wholly without merit and wholly without Constitutional authority and must be repealed, rescinded, or struck down by the Courts, by Congress, or in the last resort by the people by acclamation and in necessary, civil disobedience. An unconstitutional law is null and void not merely from the moment its defect is detected, but from the moment of its inception. (Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803). And any gun owner voting for a subversive voter initiative requiring government permission to exercise his or her right to keep and bear arms is supporting the loss of every right we have, for once the above precedents are set, ALL our rights will depend on government's "compelling interest."
