MOM 3 of 9 "If you deny our inalienable rights and outlaw any weapons, ammunition or firearms accessories, we will not obey your "law"! "If you ever come to get our guns, we will oppose force with force! 70 million gun owners will not voluntarily turn in their weapons. Perhaps 35 million (50%) will comply under threat or force but 35 million (50%) will not comply. They will keep and conceal their weapons for future use. (Ed. Note: We do not condone concealing weapons for future use. Only those which you cannot use should be placed in a secure location.) More than 7 million (10%) have already prepared for civil war. Millions across this nation now believe that an armed struggle for freedom may be inevitable. 700,000 (1%) (including many veterans, law enforcement personnel, and well trained civilians) will begin to fight against the elitist one-worlders who now control the government, the media, and the nation's finances; and who are sacrificing U.S. sovereignty for a U.N. world government. Patriots know who the traitors are, and will never submit to the emerging police state here in America. We speak not from the extreme fringe, but rather as responsi- ble, working productive, God-fearing citizens who love their Country and its Constitution. If rebellion, revolution or civil war comes to American, it will have been caused by a government out of control, a government which has lost the understanding that it is the servant of the people and the guarantor of their liberties, not their master and oppressor. You, the Congress, authorize, fund and control the government. You will be respon- sible for the tragedy. No compromises or half-way measures will be tolerated. All gun control legislation, including those that are included in the present "Crime Bill," must be rejected - now and in the future. We have spoken for the last time! (Signed) Sovereign Citizens of the United States" How about another? "Mom, I really have a hard time believing that these fools, think that Americans are not going to fight them and doing so going to kick their collective ------. We have won every single war we were allowed to win, hands down, as we fight for the oppressed, freedom for others. What in God's name makes them think they can come to our homeland, take our freedom and get away with it????? If they think we have fought hard before, how many times will that be multiplied by us having to fight for our own land and freedom?" From the above two letters that we have received you are now able to see what the underlying theme and general thought is from all who correspond with us. Every letter, every telephone con- versation, every fax, in one way or another relays this same message to us: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The first letter mentioned making those in government responsi- ble for the "tragedy" that may take place. How can the American people make them responsible? First by becoming responsible themselves. Americans formed the constitution; the constitution granted this government powers; Americans put people in charge of running this government; so therefore, the responsibility lies with the American people to stop this government. This is the only way. This is the way of the militia. Many leaders in the patriot movement have written numerous articles on the constitutionality of the militia. That the Second Amendment guarantees this. This is true. But, I ask, who are you going to claim this guarantee in front of? Your local Judge? Your local BATF agent? How about the Supreme Court of the United States? We all know that the executive and legislative branches of our government are beyond hope. However, many still believe there is hope left in the judicial branch where they can take on the system on an individual basis. It is time to face the facts: Our judicial system has not only been taken over in the same subtle manner as our legislative and executive branches of government but has been a key player in aiding these two branches in being taken over. (See "Taking Aim", issue no. 5, page 17, part 7, of "The Road To Slavery - Putting The Pieces Together"). The Constitutions of the United States and the several States have been subverted and have not been in use for well over a century (see 1973 Senate Report on the termination of Emergency Powers, forward, page 1.) So what can we do? The militia must operate as if there were no Second Amendment. Even if there wasn't a guarantee for the people to keep and bear arms in our constitutions we would still have the right to keep and bear arms under the Natural Law. What most have forgotten is that the people are not under the constitution; the government is. This is the reason for the jury. The jury was to be the last peaceful check on an overzeal- ous and oppressive government. The following quote is reprinted from the Citizen's Rule Book (available from MOM for $1.00 each) which has an article that appeared in the "Minneapolis Star and Tribune", November 30, 1984, entitled "What judges don't tell the juries": "At the time of the adoption of the Constitution, the jury's role as defense against political oppression was unquestioned in American jurisprudence. This nation survived until the 1850's, when prosecutions under the Fugitive Slave Act were largely unsuccessful because juries refused to convict. (Continued)
