Adios Arms
Published by Ninth Stage February 18th, 2008 in Civil Liberties, Guns, Nannyism, The War on Citizens.Anti-freedom Clark Garen proposes on his website here that we:
1. Create a one year period for the United States of America to purchase at fair market value all guns and firearms, including hand guns, rifles, and even antique guns and rifles from domestic private ownership.
2. Prohibit and criminalize the domestic sale of guns and firearms, whether new or used.
3. Seize and destroy any gun or firearm found after the termination of the purchase period without compensation.
4. Prohibit and criminalize the domestic possession of a gun or firearm after the termination of the one year purchase period.
5. Provide exemptions for governmental law enforcement agencies, the armed services, and bona fide museums.
So the government takes a chunk of my money, returns it, after skimming off it’s take, in exchange for my firearms? Sounds fair. What a jackass.
UPDATE: The big laugher comes elsewhere on that website where, writing about Garen, it says:
It’s no surprise that Clark finds these people interesting. In his legal practice, he relishes cases that emphasize the rights of the individual. “Even though the preservation of individual rights is out of fashion now,” Clark explains, “I’ve always admired Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, who understood that the primary purpose of the Court was protecting every individual from being oppressed by the Government.” As Clark notes, this philosophy sometimes puts him at odds with the trends of the day.
Clark believes a small group of con artists are fooling our citizens into throwing away the rights our founding fathers paid for with their lives. Think Radio advocates “awareness and thought” as tools to defeat these evil and sinister con artists.
What a self deluded tool.

I’d be more than happy to send him my home address and leave my front door unlocked, if he’d like to come by in person some night and try to take my guns away from me.
It is amusing how anti-rights individuals always seem to talk in the collective… Bloody Borg.
Oh, and add “hypocritical” between “deluded” and “tool”… If this moron putz really is a champion for the individual’s rights, what the hell is he doing trying to abridge our Constitutionally-protected right to bear arms, and our natural right to self-defense?
Talk about a reality disconnect…
I think this tool is merely looking for publicity for his virtually unknown radio show. Everything I;ve read about him makes him out to be an amoral, insufferable prick - even fellow lawyers won’t claim him.
This elections will be the most important one on guns. We might not get a real conservative president this time around, which is why we need to start looking at our local officials to fight the next wave of anti-gun bills. I created a good starting point for Maryland and Pennsylvania at http://www.birster.org. While your heir, please sign my petition to support HB2.
