Interesting Gun Rights Situation on Video

Interesting video...I was curious about his shirt and the free Russell Kanning thing and came across this...
Russell Kanning arrested for attempting to hand out flyers

Keene resident Russell Kanning is on a mission. Wearing overalls, a straw hat and carrying a pitchfork, the thirty-six year old libertarian activist is out to expel the "Internal Robbery Squadron" from his city. And, despite his lack of sophisticated weaponry, he has triggered quite a response from Washington.

Plain clothed officers and uniformed Department of Homeland security agents were present in force to meet him at noon today as he appeared outside Keene's tiny IRS office with several supporters. But it wasn't so much his pitchfork or his friends that had agents concerned; it was his handful of...flyers.

Kanning, who has openly refused to pay IRS taxes since the 90s, says he is most upset by the use of tax dollars to underwrite Iraqi occupation. He also says he was inspired to action by the arrest this May of Plainfield resident Ed Brown, a prominent Constitutionalist and tax resister.

When Kanning entered the building, authorites quickly interposed themselves and told him they would arrest him if he tried to enter the office itself.

"I think we could call it tilting at windmills," he joked.

While bantering with the perplexed agents, Kanning offered each of them a flyer, which each refused, then slowly walked toward the single flight of stairs leading to the IRS section of the building.

Officers then quickly, but carefully, placed his hands behind his back and cuffed him.

...

He ended up being booked at Keene Police Department, then released around 3 p.m. Kanning then returned to the IRS office and walked straight toward the door, whereupon he was cuffed again, booked again, and released again, this time, as before, on charges of disorderly conduct.

Guns bought our liberties, guns keep them. I understand that in Australia guns are illegal, is that correct? What do the police do, now that there is no crime?

Dear God...help the Australians stop being victimized due to their pacifistic, RC induced, liberalism and help them, as well as the Americans, to remember their history of freedom :praying:


WHY RAPISTS & ROBBERS LOVE AUSTRALIA'S GUN-CONTROL LAWS
Crime up Down Under Since Australia's gun ban, armed robberies increase 45%
AUSTRALIA: The Results Are In

One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic .22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government over 500 million dollars, the results are in...

OBSERVABLE FACT, AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA:

* Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2%
* Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6%
* Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44% (yes, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT)
* In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300%
* Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in homicides-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months)
* Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in armed-robbery-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months)
* There has been a dramatic increase in breakins-and-assaults-of- the-elderly
* At the time of the ban, the Prime Minister said "self-defense is not a reason for owning a firearm"
* From 1910 to present, homicides in Australia had averaged about 1.8-per-100,000 or lower, a safe society by any standard.
* The ban has destroyed Australia's standings in some international sport shooting competitions
* The membership of the Australian Sports Shooting Association has risen to 112,000, a 200% increase, in response to the ban and as an attempt to organize against further controls, which are expected.
* Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns". Their response has been to "wait longer".

Not so James, it is very much more strictly governed...licensing of owners to own a gun etc, probably have different criteria in what constitutes ownership and care of firearms.

Sadly, the criminal element is always able to access guns if highly motivated, and the thin blue line are armed.:thumbs:

That is why we need to defend our right to bear arms. If a criminal knows he may encounter an armed victim he will more than likely steer clear.

In a community north of Atlanta it is a law that every citizen be armed. The crime rate is very low there.

the data is not really relevant....does gun ownership in the USA make the USA a safer place? I do not feel that this is the case, I cringe with horror every time some lunatic shoots up their workplace or school or whatever because of the relative liberality of American gun ownership....

Aussie gun laws were tightened very much after that goose Martin Bryant shot up Port Arthur in Tasmania. This guy is so mentally limited it is hard to conceive that he did not shoot himself trying to shoot down innocents....that is why Australia did so, how many schoolyards have to be drenched in blood before that happens in the USA

......I wonder about that, often the criminal is so desperate he aint thinking very clearly anyway. I dont have the answer but I would not have a gun in my house because it is way too easy for the gun to be waved about when tempers flair, much easier to avoid flying crockery:tonofbricks:

Australia used to be cited as a poster country, in the effectiveness of private gun ownerships constraint on crime.

The data isn't relevant? You've got Aussies protecting their lives and property with arms, the gov't takes away the arms and the criminals say thank you very much. Your crime rate skyrockets because the criminals no longer fear people having the ability to protect themselves and the data isn't relevant?

Gun ownership in the USA does make the USA a safer place. Ask Hitler, Stalin, & Mao what they think about private gun ownership, and consider how that made those nations safer.

Those schoolyards didn't have to be drenched in blood if the right people had the guns rather than the wrong people.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." --Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).​

I understand your point, but I believe he is forcing the police to recognize our right to own and carry. Without people like him reminding authorities, through exercising that right, we would have an increasingly difficult time with that right. I applaud his method and manner, but Mr. Table cloth's manner is not my cup o tea. One informs, the other accuses and ridicules.

Yes, I know that when my wife is late with the dinner, I have to fight the urge to get out the shotgun. But I would rather not have to throw the crockery at the guy breaking into my house at 3 a.m.
