RE: NRA Prints HALF Of The Story (Barniskis)?
by Neal J. Lang 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hi, Dave, First the disclaimers. #1- I don't know everyone on your list. I went ahead and "replied to all" because I am assuming there is interest, and because it is my shady virtue that is being questioned here...:-) If any of you have no desire to be part of this exchange, please accept my apologies for intruding into your e-lives. Let me know and I will see that you are not included in further discussions. Frankly, neither do I. They were all associated with the e-mails attached to your correspondence that I received from Pete. I cc:'ed Angel just to see if he was awake - he was! I really don't mine letting everyone in on our thoughts, but only if you feel the same. #2- I have added a couple other folks who I think may have an interest in this. Again, if I am being presumptuous, please just send me a "drop dead" flame and throw a brick through my window, and I will leave you off any future exchange. Please do, by all means. IMMHO, the more the merrier. #3- I generally don't have a lot of time for back-and-forth one-on-one debating- I find my time more productively spent on my own agenda items, and what with all the other limitations and demands, I may or may not be able to get back to rebuttals or additional emails from others in a timely or comprehensive manner. I sure don't want to get into an endless exchange over this, as there are so many productive venues. I can readily understand, Dave. It is a petty though, as you debate so well. Please participate (or not) at a pace that makes sense to you. I will always enjoy reading your correspondence, whether directed to me, or to other (more worthy) targets. I am not "blowing smoke", Dave, I do so enjoy your passionate epistles. My response follows. Keep the Faith, Neal ---- Let me begin by saying I do not consider your legitimate concerns to be a flame. I'm a big boy and can take my lumps, and you have been most...ummm...politic in stating your reservations and explaining the reasoning behind them. You have a right to your say. I'm also sorry if I made you "sad." I don't know if it's gonna be productive to take ALL the points of my piece and ALL the points of your reply and interlineate comments and rebuttals. I especially don't think it would be a very interesting read- I think, instead, it would quickly devolve into something fragmented, and very hard to follow. So I'd like to address this in generalities, with the further qualification that I'm not out to try and score points at your expense, or even to convince you that I am right and you are wrong; I can walk away from this knowing that we disagree and still think highly of you. In fact, I have heard the arguments you pose, in one form or another, before, so I don't think my mind is going to change on this- and I cede to you the same. I began talking about NRA ratings. I think it has been pretty well documented that they have on occasion given high ratings to politicians who haven't necessarily earned them in the hope of establishing good will. I have also seen the opposite occur, that is, a 2nd Amendment champion like Ron Paul being downgraded NOT for his stance on 2A purity, but rather because he opposed legislation being promoted by NRA. Surely, Neal, you will not argue that Mary Bono is the equal to Ron Paul in terms of Constitutional fidelity? Pragmatism aside, which rating system do you think best exemplifies original intent: NRA's or GOA's? And would you at least acknowledge describing Trent Lott as "stalwart" on the 2A is, at best, hyperbole? In re Mr. Ashcroft, I believe if you look again, you will see that I did not mention him at all, but rather, composed my rant in response to a thread that did. I think the omission of his qualifying statement in re "compelling state interest" in the official NRA journal has one of two credible explanations: incompetence, or suppression of information. As I don't "know" why it happened, I really cannot speculate further in any fairness. That said, I do stipulate that he is no Janet Reno, and I am encouraged by some of his statements, as well as disappointed by others. You are correct that his proper function is to enforce the law; I would submit that the supreme law of the land is clear, and that precedent established in Marbury v Madison relegates anything in conflict with this null and void. In re NRA practices and tactics, I have never seen a stockholders' report or a proxy ballot where management urged owners to vote AGAINST a slate of candidates. That such ads were paid for by private parties does not diminish the fact that they appeared alongside official ballots. In re gun laws that have been passed on the "winning team's" watch, you may be right that we would have seen much more draconian increments had the NRA monolith not provided a breakwater. Then again, one can only speculate had overreaching socialists tried compressing 25 years of citizen disarmament into a shorter period; perhaps it would have horrified sleeping gun owners and galvanized them into individual, spirited activism, and to organize behind a fiercely uncompromising banner. Perhaps this would have scared our attackers off. But we will never know- all we can see is what has transpired, and I fear the heat has been turned up so slowly that the frog may never escape the pot. In re "Project Exile," I have not seen a substantiated rebuttal to any of the points I made, especially in re the activist I cited urging that they instead adopt "enforce existing violent crime laws". So I'll just ask a simple question or four: Where in the Constitution has the fedgov been delegated the enumerated power to enforce ANY gun laws? Wouldn't the Constitutionally-consistent position be to repeal these laws? Isn't such enforcement precisely what precipitated Waco and Ruby Ridge? And if phrased more precisely, would you and NRA management advocate enforcing existing CITIZEN DISARMAMENT laws? In re your premise on pragmatism and compromise, as you have pointed out, our Constitution was ratified through exactly that means. But the compromise already happened. I hear you about the Civil War, but have to ask you at what point would you say such rebellion might be justified, and a preferable alternative to tyranny? Believe me, I do understand compromise and do it every day, as do we all; I think the difference here is one of tolerance threshold more than principle. And please don't think I am offering my poor self up for comparison, but we need people to speak loudly on uncompromised principle; you would not have urged Samuel Adams or Patrick Henry to moderate, would you, Neal? And we know that the Republic we got was nowhere near the ideal these men strived for, due to compromise, but wit hout their strident voices stirring sentiment in a sufficiently critical mass, how much more might it have been compromised? I don't know where your line in the sand would be to engage in civil disobedience, or to physically resist, and I certainly would never presume to challenge your convictions on that- but I am curious as to where exactly you would say there can be no more compromise? If you have read my stuff, you'll see I'm pretty consistent at advising that a time for physical engagement is not (yet) upon us, as there are still means of redress available; I therefore urge people to work within our system, not only because it is pragmatic, but because it is a moral imperative that we exhaust available resources before resorting to more drastic measures. But as much of a firebrand as you think my rant made me appear, it is not I who held a gun up in front of a crowd and challenged "From my cold dead hands!" What do you think Mr. Heston meant by that? Was it entirely symbolic, or do you think he would urge NRA management supporters to shoot and kill government agents attempting to disarm them? By the same token, where I have engaged in civil defiance, I have done so because the chances of such recourse are questionable, and the violation of rights by "officials" has been so blatant and repugnant: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a397d8e1c3a66.htm I believe, Neal, that right now, under certain circumstances, civil resistance is warranted, and California's "assault weapons" ban certainly seems to be a "reasonable" place to just say "no." I don't so much see this position as one of civil diobedience as much as obedience to the supreme law of the land over an unconstitutional, thus null and void, perversion of the law. Yet it was NRA presenting the DoJ reps as people they can work with, proud of their cordial relations, and mindful that the reps did not "have" to come and address us- the folks whose leader holds up a musket and dares you to kill him were facilitating our surrender without a fight. But of course the DoJ did have to be there- because they were there to dictate the terms of our surrender, and they wanted desperately to convince us that they were serious about enforcing this "law"- after all, they, again, desperately, didn't want to see transpire exactly what has- massive noncompliance, making them look impotent. I am proud to have added my voice to this, and would be pleased no end to think that it may have given others some sense that they were not alone, that there is strength in numbers, and that we must steel ourselves from caving. Anyway, that's about all I'm good for on this- I wrote way more than I set out to- I really don't like working this way, as I'm pretty anal about revising and rewriting my stuff a jillion times before releasing it- a rule I broke in the rant that precipitated this- but you posed some fair observations and deserve to have your concerns at least addressed, if not resolved. I really don't know if I'll be up to another long rebuttal, so I may or may not be able to give you satisfaction on future installments of this thread- there is only so much time in my day for this, and I've just exhausted it- tomorrow brings a new set of priorities. But this has been good for me- extemporaneous responses help to hone our skills against our mutual opponents. Thanks for your thoughtful correspondence and best regards.

RE: DOJ jails reporter, Ashcroft allows more journalist subpoenas

(I can suggest several to interested parties privately). > I'm curious what the term 'copy' refers to when the Internet and encryption gets involved. If a reporter posted an encrypted copy of her notes to usenet on a regular basis, she could recover them anytime, anywhere, from etin.com, dejanews, or any of the other news archiving services. However, if ordered to 'turn over all originals and copies', what can she do? Ask deja to dismount a drive and send it to the court? Ask the NSA to please gather up all their tapes which had copies and send them? Isn't there an implied and anachronistic assumption here that a requested private document is physically seperable from other private documents, and that to be private a document has to be under the authors physical control? And that there is a meaningful distinction between an 'original' and a 'copy'? This comes of a the same problem we find with so much of the IP arguement, that information exists only bound to some physical object, and shares it's limitations. I can only assume that the court, for reasons which seem unclear but which seem to amount to punishment, wish to deny her access to her own work. If many copies exist which are readable only by her, but not under her control, how can she be so deprived? (I suppose the court could order her to forget her passphrase :-) [I'm not addressing the issue of forced exposure of keys, just the information-theoretic notion of destroying or sequestering widely distributed information, and how that collides with the assumptions of ill-educated or maleific judges] Peter Trei

SirCam contribution

This is a strings-processed portion of a recent SirCam post on cypherpunks. Note that SS number seems to be embedded in microshit document - is this a standard practice ? ############## Social Security Number: 326-70-5214 Prompt Number 1 Angry Inside and No One Cares If an American has turned on a TV in the last few years, they should have noticed that school shootings are on a rise. A plausible explanation could be that todays youth do not have the ability to release aggression on a day-to-day basis. Children need to have the ability to vent their anger and now see gun related violence as a more spectacular form of violence. When I was young most children exhibited hostility through fighting or watching others fight. Today the punishments for fighting are suspension or expulsion, while in the past the children we forced to complete an activity to waste their time or energy. With the severe pressure to get along children are holding in their aggression more. Most children are able to handle this or let their anger out through sports or active hobbies. Look at the children of two recent shootings. One was a young child who was not involved in sports and was constantly picked on, the other was a four or five member group who were said to be outcasts in their school and were also not involved in sports. In both these cases the youths had active friends, but were not involved in any active activities. Youths are also going through a stage in their life were they need people to pay attention, yet today society is trying to turn children into robots and statistics. Looking at the rule books for a local grade school you would think they are supposed to replace a bible. Children today are even restricted in what games they play, who they talk to, and how to dress. At the same time children are hearing about how to their community they are just numbers. They spend over a month preparing and taking tests so they can show the authority how much they know. Children desire to be involved and paid attention to. A third factor to the rise in school shootings could be that before youths would try to commit acts of extreme violence by suicide, small bombs, or destroying property. Today children see that shootings and gun related violence are a huge media hype events. They feel that by shooting another kid they could gain an extreme amount of attention to themselves or their situation. They know that people will remember their actions. Their horrible acts are more easily recalled then state capitals. Where was the last shooting? What is the capital of Alabama? Society must learn that children will be aggressive. They will release their anger, but it does not have to be in such a spectacular fashion. Parents need to talk to their children and play a ACTIVE role in their life. Society needs to stop treating children as a collective group of autonomous beings, but as a diverse group of individuals. And we as a nation need to show then that yes, we care for you as an individual. 8$45STR 48d`$da$d8 1h/ =!"#$%i8@8NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@<Default Paragraph Font8$45STR 4:0000000000008 88:DE:35SQTY 37:Valued Sony CustomerMC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Document1.asdValued Sony Customer8C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\DeVry\English 110\Compentency III.doc@$$d$$8@UnknownG:Times New Roman5Symbol3&:Arial"hT2T+@ !20d\2#Social Security Number: 326-70-5214Valued Sony CustomerValued Sony CustomerOh+'0 8D`l x$Social Security Number: 326-70-5214ociValued Sony Customerr: alualuNormalSValued Sony Customerr: 1luMicrosoft Word 9.0r@@ @@ .+,0hp SonyS\ $Social Security Number: 326-70-5214Title !"#$'Root Entry Fs0)1Table WordDocument"SummaryInformation(DocumentSummaryInformation8CompObjjObjectPools0s0 FMicrosoft Word DocumentMSWordDocWord.Document
