driftrider...One thing many don't know is that John Hancock was the richest man in New England before the American Revolution...
He got that way by smuggling goods into America that England said had to be bought from there and tariffs paid on...In essence the British Government helped make him very rich and what he was doing in the eyes of Britian was illegal...
We founded this Country because we knew that Governments shouldn't restrict their people's freedoms by excessive taxes and laws...
My forefathers have fought and died so that these rights have been passed down to me, it's a contract signed in their blood...
So, to answer your question, if it gets down to it Yes, it is my right and frankly my duty as free American...
And, NO, I did not vote Democrate, never have...
Yeah, but John Hancock didn't have the FBI and BATFE breathing down his neck. My point was not to say that I agree with this treaty or any laws that flow from it, but rather to point out that there will be MANY of us, myself included, that could become instant FELONS if this thing becomes law. I was pondering how many of us would be willing to risk doing time in a Fed prison for what we believe in.
