Second Amendment
Second Amendment: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Having been oppressed by a professional army, the founding fathers of the United States had no use for establishing one of their own. Instead, they decided that an armed citizenry makes the best army of all. George Washington created regulation for the aforementioned “well-regulated militia” which would consist of every able-bodied man in the country.
The reason I’m bringing this up has nothing to do with the National Rifle Association but with the fact that we ARE oppressed by a professional army—our own! I wrote about this a few blogs ago in my 800 pound gorilla piece but nagging is profoundly underrated so here I am again, nagging you to do something about this travesty. Do you really enjoy working six months every year and giving every penny you make to support this expense that gives us nothing in return except the hatred of the world? I’m sick of it.
When I point this out to most people they respond by saying that military spending is only 5% of GDP. Why they would use non-standard accounting to justify this stupidity astounds me. GDP is just everybody’s salary—regardless of what they do. GDP means nothing whatsoever, except as a ruse. Military spending consumes over half of our total industrial output! That’s the real truth. We could cut our work week in HALF with no loss of incomes if the military industrial complex would stop oppressing us.

Is this to say Oregon, even if in small eventual steps, would adopt the Swiss Militia system?
Awesome. If you are serious about reestablishing the OR Militia, then you would want to tell the Legislature to start reading and studying ORS Chapter 339.
Would you work to repeal the ORS 166.170 through 166.663 statutes?
The Federal 34-NFA, 68-GCA, 86-Huges, NICS check?
And to invite the ATF “OUT” of Oregon. (You know… to avoid and potential Waco TX disasters in the foreseeable future.)?
I’m not sure how much you know of a constitutional Militia structure, but you should probably take a listen/study from Dr. Edwin Viera, Jr., Ph.D., J.D.
This man knows boundless volumes of knowledge of The Power of the Purse & The Power of the Sword.
Should the Indians or Canadians go on the warpath, I’m sure we can deal with it without spending ourselves into oblivion.
I thought that was extremeley informative. Thanks for the great content. I’ll keep an eye on this.
Are you kidding me? I’m not sure I can put myself behind what you believe. But I will certainly be back to find out more tomorrow.

Admirable website! I’ll possibly be referencing some of this info in my next speech.
