DICK ACT of 1902... CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) -
Protection Against Tyrannical Government
*The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R.
11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It
also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities.*

*The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia,
henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and
District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army. The
militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and
45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal
right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as
many as they can afford to buy.*
*The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills
of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross
violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The President
of the United States has zero authority without violating the
Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State
borders.*
*The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National
Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold
the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion).
These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call
upon the National Guard.*
*Attorney General Wickersham advised President Taft, "the Organized
Militia (the National Guard) can not be employed for offensive warfare
outside the limits of the United States."*
*The Honorable William Gordon, in a speech to the House on Thursday,
October 4, 1917, proved that the action of President Wilson in ordering
the Organized Militia (the National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was
so blatantly unconstitutional that he felt Wilson ought to have been
impeached.*
*During the war with England an attempt was made by Congress to pass a
bill authorizing the president to draft 100,000 men between the ages of
18 and 45 to invade enemy territory, Canada. The bill was defeated in
the House by Daniel Webster on the precise point that Congress had no
such power over the militia as to authorize it to empower the President
to draft them into the regular army and send them out of the country.*
*The fact is that the President has no constitutional right, under any
circumstances, to draft men from the militia to fight outside the
borders of the USA, and not even beyond the borders of their respective
states. Today, we have a constitutional LAW which still stands in
waiting for the legislators to obey the Constitution which they swore an
oath to uphold.*
*Charles Hughes of the American Bar Association (ABA) made a speech
which is contained in the Appendix to Congressional Record, House,
September 10, 1917, pages 6836-6840 which states: "The militia, within
the meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is distinct from the
Army of the United States." In these pages we also find a statement made
by Daniel Webster, "that the great principle of the Constitution on that
subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the
General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is
no part of the Constitution worded with greater care and with more
scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of
Congress over it."*
*"This limitation upon the power to raise and support armies clearly
establishes the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution to
limit the power to raise and maintain a standing army to voluntary
enlistment, because if the unlimited power to draft and conscript was
intended to be conferred, it would have been a useless and puerile thing
to limit the use of money for that purpose. Conscripted armies can be
paid, but they are not required to be, and if it had been intended to
confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citizens and send
them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the
use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly
some restriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the
unlimited use of such power."*
