Arizona Joins The Republic


Governor Brewer of the sovereign southwest state of Arizona signs an important historical bill into law

By de Andréa

There are only 3 States in the Republic of the United States of America. Oh, you thought there were 50. Well that just shows how wrong a person can be. Now if I said; there are 50 States in the United States that would be correct. But you see, a long long time ago America use to be a Constitutional Free Republic. Little by little we lost our liberty, lost our freedom, we lost our Republic, lost our Constitution, and now, we lost our way.

Just in case one would want to know what those 3 Constitutional Free States are… Well they are Vermont Alaska, and now Arizona just joined the Republic, happy birthday Arizona.

It is not often that somewhere in America someone signs into law, a law that actually upholds our freedom our rights and our Constitution, instead of surreptitiously and incrementally destroying it. In fact the last one was Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska doing the same thing when Alaska joined the Republic.

And then there were three
So what is this mysterious new law that makes these three states free, and part of the ‘Free Republic of America’? Well that’s just it you see, these laws aren’t new at all, they go all the way back the first constitutional convention in 1791.

Yep, it is one of your Bills Of Rights. Just like your right to speak, your right to chose, your right to believe in God, your right to carry a gun. The last one is the right that protects all the other rights.

So unlike California, where one has no rights at all, moreover, Ca is in the process of gun confiscation. Oh yes already this year one must have a state permit just to buy Ammunition yeah fingerprinting and everything. And then there is the bill 1810 that will require all guns, that’s ‘all guns’ to be registered. And we know what follows complete gun registration, that’s right, a complete ban and confiscation. Did you know that if you live in California you might own a gun but you have no right to own a gun? Yes read the California Constitution, there is no right to keep and bear arms clause whatsoever. And if you think, well I am protected under the Federal Constitutions Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms, think again.

First --- California like 46 other states are not part of the Republic. Even if they were the second Amendment or any of the Federal Constitutional Rights or Amendments don’t apply. This is true for any state. You see the US Federal Constitution applies to the Federal Government not the citizens. The bill of rights only guarantees that the Federal Government cannot pass a law restricting these rights, which of course they do all the time anyway, this is why I say we are no longer a Free Republic.

So what has Arizona just done to become part of the ‘Republic of three’ and guarantee its freedom? Starting later this summer, Any U.S. citizen 21 and older can begin carrying a concealed firearm without a permit in Arizona.


Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1108 into law Friday afternoon. It eliminates the requirement for a concealed-carry weapons permit, but does require gun owners to accurately answer if an officer asks them if they are carrying weapon concealed. It also, at the officers’ discretion allows officers to temporarily confiscate a weapon while they are talking to an individual, including during a traffic stop.


"I believe strongly in the individual rights and responsibilities of a free society, and as governor I have pledged a solemn and important oath to protect and defend the Constitution," Governor Brewer said in a news release. "I believe this legislation not only protects the Second Amendment rights of Arizona citizens, but restores those rights as well."


Arizona joins Vermont and Alaska in not requiring such permits. "If you want to carry concealed, and you have no criminal history, you are a good guy, you can do it," bill sponsor Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, has said of his bill. "It's a freedom that poses no threat to the public."

Not only is there no threat to the public the state of Vermont for example has never had any state anti-gun laws, and has among the lowest per capita crime rate in the nation. Any law abiding US citizen can carry any federally legal gun open or concealed loaded anywhere in the State except a Federal building. Only Federal laws apply.


National Rifle Association lobbyist Matt Dogali said the new Arizona state law would not violate any current federal requirements. "There is no federal requirement for a permit or lack thereof,"

The federal government oversees the background-check program required to purchase a weapon, which will still be required in Arizona in most cases. Brewer last week did sign a separate law that exempts guns made and kept in Arizona from federal regulation, including background checks. Now there is another historical land mark.Arizona's present permit process will remain in place, and many gun owners may still choose to get a permit. Permits would still be needed in Arizona, to carry a weapon into a restaurant or bar that serves alcohol. They would also be needed if an Arizonan wants to carry his or her gun concealed in most other states.

As I said while California and the rest of the states like Illinois and New York are loosing their inalienable rights Vermont Alaska and now Arizona may be just starting the ‘New Constitutional Free Republic of the United States of America’.

While I don’t believe for a New York minute that the Framers meant that the Federal Constitution apply only to the Federal Government and not to the citizens of the many states, this is however how the so-called legal experts have seen and ruled on this issue. So that is why it is becoming so important that your U.S. Constitutional rights be repeated word for word in every state constitution. If not, any State government has the power to completely take away your freedom and what you think are your Federal Constitutional rights.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The only place your rights are guaranteed, when all else is said and done, the only power you really have as a citizen is the power that comes out of the barrel of a gun. This is in fact why the Constitutional architects wrote in the Second Amendment and in the first constitutional convention placed this into the Bill of Rights of every citizen of this Free Constitional Republic. “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”.

You will notice the clause, …”the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. How many times has the Federal Government violated this part of the clause, …”shall not be infringed”’. Since the Amendment was passed and ratified by the several states on December 15, 1791, the Federal Government has violated this Constitutional law a total of 72 times. So at worst we don’t even have Federal protection of our rights and at best we have limited privileges regarding our so-called rights.

So without your written, documented state constitutional rights we as citizens of this once free country of the Republic of America aren’t really free at all because we have only those privileges given to us by our individual states.

The clause in the Declaration of Independence and upheld in our constitution that says that ‘…”we have certain inalienable rights given to us by our Creator” apparently no longer exists.

We now must accept the crumbs of limited privileges that our Federal, State and local governments are so generous to let us beg for. Oh really? Isn’t this why the Framers said that the Second Amendment right was for the security of a free State?

Maybe we should show our government the power that comes out of the barrel of a gun.
