THE DIC ACT

[smittty]

Guess we are not screwed after all

Dic Act of 1902 - Gun Control FORBIDDEN!

Were you aware of this law?

DIC ACT of 1902 - CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) - Protection Against Tyrannical Government

It would appear that the administration is counting on the fact that the American Citizens don't know this, their rights and the constitution. Don't prove them right.

 

The Dic Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws.

 

It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities. ** SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE ** The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army.

 

The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.

 

The "bleep" Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders.

 

The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union ; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard.

Well if you wanna get technical, Income Taxes are also illegal, but that doesn't count for much these days either

This post is difficult to follow logically. If that bill passed into law back in 1902, it doesn't mean that violating it violates the tenets of the Constitution. Was that law challenged and upheld by the US Supreme Court? And how does not allowing the President to place National Guard troops from one state into another have anything to do with the 2nd Amendment? Maybe I'm just not following it?

Sounds good, but if the militia is made up of able bodied males 18-45, I guess 46 and older guys, handicapped guys and women are banned from having guns.

Lots of misinformation in the initial post.

 

Anything can be repealed, changed, etc.

 

Gun control has been upheld by the SCOTUS (unfortunately).

 

The National Guard has already fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, so much for that.

 

Read this link for some historical context on the law.

 

I read the exact same post a couple of weeks ago and then did 6 hours of research to see if it was accurate. Unfortunately it isn't.
