I guess only laws Skyes agrees with should be enforced.<br /><br />I have a few problems with the story, however. He was riding his bike at 10:30 with his open carry firearm. I believe he has violated other laws then. A bicycle is a conveyance, therefore the gun should have been unloaded and cased. But no matter. If he used it to defend himself against crime, again, GOOD FOR HIM! But did he?<br /><br />He says he encountered youths on a corner. Were they in the street, or on the sidewalk, where the cyclist shouldn't have been riding in the first place? If they were on the sidewalk, there is a little problem there. One might conclude that a man carrying a gun riding through a group of young men on a sidewalk rather than going around was, I don't know, looking for a confrontation.<br /><br />In either case, on the sidewalk or the street, pedestrians have the right of way. But the man rode through them, saying "bike coming through," rather than yielding the right of way. Again, if in fact the young men were thugs looking to rob somebody, GREAT THAT HE COULD DEFEND HIMSELF. Were they?<br /><br />He felt something hit the back of his head. Either these "thugs" are crack stone throwers who used this technique to rob passing cyclists, or perhaps they hit him in anger after getting out of the way of the "bike coming through." Just a thought. I guess I could see that happening.<br /><br />The man stopped his bike, drew his weapon and yelled "Gun!" They ran.<br /><br />The man later told police he "thought" the young men were trying to rob him. He didn't say they said anything about a robbery, but he "thought" they were.<br /><br />Now, although I repeat myself, I want my position to be clear. If they were trying to assault or rob him, GREAT THAT HE COULD DEFEND HIMSELF.<br /><br />If he was a man who strapped on a gun and went looking for a confrontation, and the young men were upset that some guy on a bike rode through them saying "bike coming through" as they stood legally on a corner, is that another matter?<br /><br />Now, I don't purport to know the answer to this one way or the other. But our hero has appeared to have violated a few laws of both pedestrian rights and legal gun carry, and his "thought" that he was about to be robbed is no more substantial evidence than my supposition that there might be a bit more to the story.<br /><br />So before anyone condemns me to hell for my thoughts on what happened, or may have happened, remember that the whole story is based on the cyclist's "thoughts" on what the intent of the other men was.<br /><br />But again, if in fact he was about to be robbed or assaulted, GOOD FOR HIM for defending himself. I hope I have made that clear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-76114352824240446252009-05-14T13:58:00.000-05:002009-05-14T13:58:00.000-05:00Hubert dip**it really messed this up.

This was intended to be like the Swiss militia, where every citizen serves in the military and has a rifle in their house.<br /><br />Per the 1792 Militia Act this was to apply to all males between 18 and 45. Therefore, every citizen has the right to bear arms because every citizen is required to be a member of the well regulated state militia.<br /><br />The amendment was established so that, states could repel foreign invasion, to act as a political counterweight to vesting the federal executive with monarchical powers, and to act as a reserve force in the event of war.<br /><br />The political balance against monarchical power is implicit in the state militias being explicitly mentioned in the war powers granted congress within the main body of the Constitution. In theory Congress can direct the militia outside the authority of the President within the framework of the state command structure. <br /><br />"To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;<br /><br />"To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"<br /><br />These war powers where expressly withheld from the president to assuage public fear of a monarchical Presidency and to insure that the military was controlled by "The People." As Hamilton points out in Federalist Paper 69:<br /><br />"The President is to be commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first General and admiral of the Confederacy; while that of the British king extends to the DECLARING of war and to the RAISING and REGULATING of fleets and armies, all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature."<br /><br />The 1792 Congress waved its paranoia against making Washington a King by granted the President carte blanche use of the state militias in order to suppress tax revolts. Something that the anti-tax crowd may want to think about. See also http://www.constitution.org/mil/mil_act_1792.htm<br /><br />If the federal court was not "legislating from the bench" it would say, "yes, you have the infringement free right to bear arms, if you are a member of a well regulated state militia."Joseph Thomas Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259638384607505768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-7050143458437876182009-05-13T11:01:00.000-05:002009-05-13T11:01:00.000-05:00I find it so very predictable the company that the...I find it so very predictable the company that the lawn mowing, picnic going gun carriers suddenly find themselves in. It was as inevitable as thunder following lightning.<br /><br />I think the problem stems from one simple misconception on the part of the "I'll mow my lawn with my .45 semi-automatic weapon if I want to" crowd.<br /><br /> See if you agree. <br /><br />When these picnic goers mass and carry handguns, saying they are proving the point that "law abiding citizens" don't need to give any reason for carrying a weapon...in their minds, when they picture a "law abiding citizen", he or she is always caucasian.<br /><br />Now, that shouldn't color the debate. The merit of "open carry for no reason and to hell with the public if their peace is disturbed" should be debated on that topic alone. <br /><br />But I think you will find that many proponents of this stance will suddenly grow mute and begin to ponder if they consider the possibility that a law abiding citizen may have originated anywhere other than Europe. And that is why the White Pride Worldwide group (I was going to say clan) is all over this. A thoughtful man upon seeing this development might reconsider his position given the company he suddenly finds himself in. A thoughtful man might...<br /><br />Also, when one chooses his or her position on this arguement, it has to be realized that many, many terrible gun crimes are caused by individuals who would have previously been considered "law abiding citizens". There are many factors that can cause an ordinarily civil and law abiding man to resort to violence.<br /><br />Paradoxically (sp?),feeling that one's child is being threatened by some nut or nuts cooking hamburgers with a side arm, is rather high on that list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-85905518265285773902009-05-13T10:31:00.000-05:002009-05-13T10:31:00.000-05:00I assume when bloggers post on any given topic on ...I assume when bloggers post on any given topic on their blogs and they don't offer an opinion on how they feel about the topic they are endorsing what they are posting on.
