Regular Correspondent W-III wrote to his list about a post by my friends at Western Rifle Shooters Association:
If you never read another of my e-mails, if you decide to block everything I send to you in the future as SPAM, if you’re so sick of the stuff I send you want to curse my name, Please, humor me one last time; click on the link below and hear what Judge Andrew Napolitano has to say.

This man is a Patriot.
It's infuriating, considering the abuses Napolitano outlines, and then reflecting on how little so many of our countrymen seem to be aware of them, and how little they seem to care. And, yes, I know the Patriot Act happened under George Bush. Before the predictable accusations of ignoring Republican sins start coming in, I invite you to check my record on that. I also know there's plenty of guilt to go around.
I just did a blurb on that Wall Street Journal piece Judge Napolitano refers to on Friday. We've also discussed potential gun rights implications of the health care takeover by distorting founding intent for the commerce clause.
I'd like to add one more thing to what Judge Napolitano recommends. While you're asking your representative to show you where in the Constitution the federal government is authorized to involve itself in health care, also ask them to point out their enumerated delegated power to regulate guns--you know, the one that overrides "shall not be infringed"...?

As an addendum, I'd like to point out that W-III is a retired peace officer who doesn't hold all that denigration of law enforcement I supposedly do against me.
