The federal government wants to end the existence of “untraceable” firearms - and this is nothing new under the sun. But if we adopted the attitude of the founders and old revolutionaries, all guns would be “undetectable” to the government.

The founders and old revolutionaries fought a long, bloody war to free themselves from an arbitrary and tyrannical government based on a “living, breathing” constitution, only to see the people eventually embrace the very system they struggled to throw off.

All the attention focused on a big balloon, and a missile to shoot it down - exposes a much bigger problem we face for the Constitution and liberty. Path to Liberty: Feb 6, 2023

Understanding nullification - what it is and what needs to be done - is far easier when you have a good understanding of these foundational principles underlying it. Path to Liberty: October 16, 2023

What finally forced the patriots into a shooting war with the British Army in April 1775 was not taxes or even warrantless searches of homes or occupation by soldiers, but one of many attempts by the British to disarm Americans as part of an overall gun control program Path to Liberty: April 19, 2023

The only thing that can actually keep them in check and stop this dystopian nightmare is opposition and resistance. Can states help get the job done? Too early to tell, but the time to push back is right now. Florida, New Hampshire, Missouri, and Texas with ideas and first steps. Path to Liberty: March 22, 2023

Lysander Spooner, in his 1850 Defence for Fugitive Slaves, took apart the notion that the Constitution means what the courts tell us it means - until they change their minds. Path to Liberty: April 24, 2023

Tyranny goes hand in hand with powerful people controlling and manipulating language - the meaning of words. Here are four - of many - ways they’ve done this with the Constitution. Path to Liberty, Fast Friday Edition: June 9, 2023

In what might be the first major opening salvo by states against a central bank digital currency, Florida has passed a bill to ban its use as money in the state. Path to Liberty: May 3, 2023

The unconstitutional central bank uses fiat to power the largest government in history. The federal government will never shut down its own money printer. So it’s up to the states and the people to get the job done. An important first step is the “Legal Tender Act” - now law in 3 states, and counting.

April 29, 1745 - Oliver Ellsworth was born. Even just a quick look at some views of the 3rd Chief Justice - can show just how far almost everyone today is from our founding principles. Path to Liberty: April 29, 2023

Despite a well-documented pattern of lawlessness by the FBI, including a failure to comply with even the most modest reforms, the secret court charged with ensuring FISA surveillance is lawful has essentially given the FBI unlimited mulligans for all of its unconstitutional acts.

The feds aren’t going to limit their own power, so it’s up to the people and the states to get the job done. The latest update from the nullification movement with reports on the 2nd Amendment, financial surveillance, asset forfeiture, defend the guard, sound money, and more.

Some well-intentioned opponents of a central bank digital currency are claiming that a new law in North Dakota will “eliminate its use and application” in the state. But a look under the hood tells us this is almost certainly not the case. Path to Liberty, Fast Friday Edition: May 5, 2023

We’ve been told a lot of lies, but few have caused more damage to liberty than the one about how we’re supposed to respond to unconstitutional federal acts - usurpations of power. Path to Liberty, Fast Friday Edition: January 5, 2024

They sure don’t make Secretaries of the Treasury like they used to. That becomes obvious the moment you compare the views of Albert Gallatin - who served under both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison - vs Janet Yellen - or anyone else in modern times, for that matter. Path to Liberty: March 27, 2023

The founders and old revolutionaries used the word "depreciation" to describe what we call "inflation" today. Their way is much better - because when people understand that money is worth less (or worthless), it's much easier for them to understand the cause of the problem in the first place. Path to Liberty, Fast Friday Edition: March 31, 2023

In 1984, George Orwell portrayed in chilling detail how totalitarian governments use the power of language to manipulate the masses. This notion was not unfamiliar to the founders, as James Madison warned that changing definitions of words over time would create “a metamorphosis” that would destroy the original limitations of the Constitution.

Supporters of the monster state want you to believe that unless the “debt ceiling” is raised - yet again - we’ll have absolute chaos. But the truth is, it’s actually the other way around. Path to Liberty: May 10, 2023

The number of automated license plate readers has exploded to mind-boggling levels in recent years. Databases now contain billions of scans and they’re growing fast. This empowers local, state and federal governments to not just track you and build profiles on where you go, but also to use AI as a dystopian pre-crime tool to target people based on their driving patterns.

With an enforcement deadline looming, potentially affecting millions of stabilizing braces, the new ATF rule is - as the founders told us - a test or an “experiment of your disposition.” Path to Liberty: May 22, 2023

States and individuals can stop a CBDC. It’s going to take hard work - and good strategy. The latter, we’ve got from the “father of the Constitution” - who gave us a four-step blueprint to stop federal programs without relying on the federal government to magically limit its own power. Path to Liberty, Fast Friday Edition: May 12, 2023

Even though most people seem to believe it - and the government definitely acts as if it were true, federal law is not “always supreme” - all the time. Arguing in support of that requires ignoring the words of the supremacy clause - and the history of the American Revolution, which was a rejection of this kind of unlimited, centralized power.

We were warned. The powers amassed by each successive president empower whomever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator, above the law and beyond any real accountability. Path to Liberty, Fast Friday Edition: April 21, 2023
