I haven't confirmed this. I'm only
passing it on as received. If any of you research it, let me know what you

Have
you ever heard of the “Dick Act of 1902?” More properly known as the
“Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654.″ Oddly enough, it is not
available online from government sources, only a “catalog page” found at
The Library of
Congress.
The
Dick Act’s most quoted synopsis is: 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Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder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.
I
find it hilarious that the bill introduced to fund the National Guard’s annual
exercise also provides for the unorganized militia (you and me) to own whatever
we wish in the way of weaponry “for the militia.” Just another
conveniently ignored facet of living in a “Republic” that the
modern
day politicians try to make us believe is a democracy.
We
the people hold the power. Exercise your power. Vote to keep your
guns and your freedom.
The
Pennsylvania
Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788 once published the following: “Who are the militia?
If not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms
each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the
militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier
are the birthright of an American. The unlimited power of the sword is not
in the hands of either the federal or state governments but, where I trust in
God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.” – Tenche Coxe,
Penn Gazette
According the Congressional record
Vol. 32 - 57th Congress, Session II, Chapter 196, Page 775 (Public Law 33)
passed on 21 January 1903 - An Act to promote the efficiency of militia, and for
other purposes.
The best argument
against a true democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average
voter. ~~~ Winston
