Stand Your Ground Movement, Part IV: Legislation
http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/…
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46.
While very unlikely, one can hope this movement makes it’s way to the northeast. New Jersey and New York have ridiculously strict gun laws compared to many other states. Getting the right to carry is practically impossible.
In this article the author comments on using crime to keep corporations which manufactor National ID cards, provide security and make RFID chips in business. The whole RFID scare is a bit over the top. These things have good uses in shipping and retail. They are also have very short ranges and often require inductance to induce a signal out of it. Having an RFID the size of pepper flakes may sound scary… but when you need to have the receiver less than a foot from the person it’s far less so.
