Major matters include the awards luncheon at 12:15, "Winning FIrearms Freedom One Lawsuit at a Time" at 2 PM, John Lott at 4:30, a panel on the medical attacks on gun rights at 5.

Let's see. All the evidence from the framing says the government of the United States has ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY to legislate in the areas covered by the Bill of Rights. All the claims of "compelling government interest" are created from whole cloth by the judiciary and absolutely no evidence lies in the Constitution for such legislative power. The power to regulate commerce does not include things in commerce as per all legal studies and discussions in the founding and in the 19th century. The power to regulate commerce does not even cover regulating vehicles of commerce. During the 1787 convention, it was offered to grant Congress the power "to regulate stages on the post roads" but that power was not given. So all these battles for firearms rights that are endowed by God with absolutely no authority in the government to infringe on those Rights, and by government I refer to all levels federal to local. The supreme court screwed the people in 1833 with their INCORRECT Barron v Baltimore in which the folks on the SC decided the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states. That however is unequivocally incorrect because of the Supremacy Clause. The 2nd and subsequent amendments have no limiting clauses within them and many only make sense when applied against states. Only the 1st amendment is specifically directed at Congress. And it quite interesting that the supreme court has seen fit to extend the 1st against ALL state action when it is the ONLY amendment that is recognizable as solely applying to the federal government.

Remember Rights endowed by God CAN NOT be legitimately regulated by government. The Rights to life and liberty require the ability to protect oneself with Arms. Protecting one's life is a duty to God.
