The following is the proper response by gun rights advocate David Codrea to a federal agent attempting to intimidate him. If more of us asserted ourselves in this fashion we’d have far fewer problems with our criminal government.

It appears that Federal Marshalls are now joining the BATFE in overstepping their bounds and misinterpreting laws to intimidate uppity gunnies. Read and learn how to properly counter such efforts.

An Open Response to

US Marshal Judicial Security Inspector

David A. Meyer

I understand you took Ryan Horsley aside at the conclusion of trial testimony and instructed him to advise me of the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007, specifically, “Inspector Meyer asked me to contact you in regards to posting any information with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite the commission of a crime of violence against that covered official… ”

While most Americans refuse to see it; the sorry truth is we don’t live in a very free country. Furthermore, we are becoming less free every day. Our elections are rigged, our phones are tapped without warrant, we can be secretly arrested and held indefinitely without bail or legal representation, and now we are in very real danger of being labeled as terrorists if we so much as complain about the situation.

How’s that you ask?

Last fall the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1955 - The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorist Prevention Act of 2007, and it currently resides in the U.S. Senate as S.B. 1959. In this act “homegrown terrorism” is defined so loosely that merely voicing opinions contrary to government policies and proclamations, such as the official bullshit theory about the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, opens individuals and organizations to being labeled as terrorists.

Beep, beep!

This sort of legislation constitutes barreling down the fast lane on the road to tyranny. It’s a road America has been on for a long time, but we’ve been moving increasingly faster since WWII. Unfortunately, the road leads to a cliff and passage of this legislation will leave us, like Wile E. Coyote, momentarily suspended in disbelief before we, and our supposedly cherished freedoms, go crashing into a tiny puff of smoke on the valley floor below. Unlike the cartoon character however, we and our freedoms won’t miraculously bounce back to chase the roadrunner again.

Americans experienced a win and a loss last week in the Bush Administration’s ongoing war against our Constitution; not to mention our very way of life. The win came in the form of a U.S. District Court ruling by Judge Ann Aiken striking down parts of the USA Patriot Act that were grossly in violation of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure. The loss came in the form of the passage of the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment by the US Senate.

I’m going to take the optimistic view that both of these events are indicative of a sea change that I believe is taking place in America. This is because the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment was effectively watered down in order to achieve passage. More and more people are now wise to the lies, propaganda, and fear-mongering of the Bush Administration so it is becoming much easier to oppose it and much harder to support it. That’s my trend and I’m sticking to it.
