How do we really get out from under the financial crisis? No, really? State Sovereignty.

At this hour, twenty states are petitioning for state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is new this month. California is among those seeking Sovereignty. Twenty more are likely to join the new movement.
One of the first things we do in meeting this immense financial boondoggles along with others is to affirm our sovereignty. Sovereignty is our supremacy over that of anything else in concept, authority, and powers. That means that in our nation of self-rule, we rule over the government and not the other way around. The fears of the American people that we have been had are coming true before our very eyes. the answer is in the Tenth Amendment.
Remember that citizens have rights, governments do not. The United States Government in relation to the citizen has no rights. It may have interests, it may have powers, but no rights relative to us. We as the sovereign, are the supreme lawmaking authority by law, and, as the sovereign, we have the monopoly on force in this country.
In light of the latest political boondoggles in a massive transfer of wealth, the move is on to affirm state sovereignty apart from the United States Government. It is the legal device put in place by the Founders to avoid centralization of government, which is what governments have a tendency to do. Put another way, it is assumption of powers not assigned to the Government that is killing this country. Ours is doing it now in a very large bid for complete control of major industries. This can’t happen here? It won’t, if we invoke our sovereignty. It is what the Founders escaped, and provided for generations later, such as 2009. It’s called the Constitution of the United States, and it has a Tenth Amendment. Put simply – as every liberty nut has said it – the Constitution recognizes rights of the citizen (it does not grant rights, it affirms them as pre-existing the Constitution) and places limits on what the Government can do. Simple. What is not given to Government (and there is a lot not given to Government) belongs to the states and the people, and the people does not mean government. That is precisely what the Founders escaped and wrote words or art to forbid hundreds of years in the future, in any generation.
What does this have to do with a Gun Rights Examiner? Shouldn’t Longenecker be talking about the Second Amendment? Let’s talk about both. Our independence from our own public servants is exhibited continuously 24/7 simply by our not needing them for so many things they claim to be needed for, such as how crime is fought. Where a National ID Card is claimed to fight crime, where gun bans claim to fight crime, where RFID Chips claim to fight crime, they all have to push aside individual privacy and sovereignty in order just to point to high crime stats to justify their programs. The truth is that the armed citizen discredits all of these, and more seemingly unrelated programs by simply invoking one’s own authority on scene. The only reason for gun control is to make the people helpless so the government can appear to be necessary. As I write in Safe Streets, "The idea of disarming citizens merely to show how violent violence can be is unconscionable."
As I have written for six years now, unwind gun control and you can begin to unwind a host of boondoggles predicated on fighting crime which were grown by preventing fighting back. This is how gun laws impact non-gun owners and every single American, but it’s also a tremendous opportunity. Gun bans, buybacks, unreasonable regulations, no-fault divorce, selective enforcement and the double standard, the politics of destruction, misguided conflict resolution goals, political correctness, the war on men and boys – just tons of them exist purely on pre-emptive allegations of hate, anger and violence to form an anti-violence scheme that has become an aggregate takeover of the United States. All of these are crafted to discourage the individual spirit even from objecting in better judgment.
Gun control is how we got here to each and every one of these boondoggles. Sovereignty is the solution.
Much of these emanate from a centralized government. You see, liberty nuts are not against the Government, it’s not legally possible. We invoke government when we summon officials to their duty, and for now, reducing its powers and invoking our own sovereignty is appropriate. It is also necessary. It is also provided for as a legal remedy. One of the most egregious endeavors is to steal both our authority over officials and our monopoly on force in this country which rightfully belong to us, the sovereign, and which we assign to officials at our discretion. No National ID Card. Repeal all gun laws. No more lack of professional integrity in public service. No more boondoggles or abuses of powers. Affirm state sovereignty and watch states prosper in every sense of the word.
In every sense of the word.
