OFF THE WIRE
Having just completed his 4th Boston Marathon, and sitting literally
just blocks away when the explosions went off, the Tenth Amendment
Center’s Benjamin Gross has a powerful perspective on what happened, and
the response. Plus, Joel Poindexter has an article where the Boston
lockdown gives him flashbacks to home searches that he participated in
with the US army in Iraq.
The #nodrones movement is picking up steam. Bills to ban warrantless
drone spying are on the governor’s desk in both Tennessee and Florida.
And in Oregon and Illinois, similar legislation has passed one state
house by a wide margin. Plus, we’ll cover a bill to nullify the
unconstitutional ban on hemp in Colorado, and legislation to nullify gun
control moving forward in Louisiana.
When MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show producer Steve Benen shares his
opinion, it’s usually just best to turn a blind eye to his idiocy. But,
sometimes it’s important to pay attention to what they say because it
can actually give us insight on just what we should do for liberty. In
fact, if you believe in the right to keep and bear arms and wonder what
to do to support that right, you’ll get all the advice you need from
Steve.
