  • The DICK Act-not a joke

    Does anybody know if this is a viable defense against the gun grabbers?
    Dick Act of 1902 - Gun Control FORBIDDEN!

    Were you aware of this law?
    DICK ACT of 1902 - CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) - Protection Against Tyrannical Government
    It would appear that the administration is counting on the fact that the American Citizens don't know this, their rights and the constitution. Don't prove them right.
    The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws.
    It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities. ** SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE ** The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army.
    The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.
    The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
    The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders.
    The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard

    I'm not familiar with the Dick Act, but if the democrats can be screwed by it, I'm all for it. Check out what Snopes has to say.

        It established the National Guard so I do believe it is indeed a REAL "law".

          This led me to believe it's not real.

          I'm still not sure.

            The militia act of 1903 is indeed real sir. Well unless you might believe that Cornell University is in on the conspiracy.

            http://www.law.cornell.edu/topn/militia_act_of_1903

            As for some of the claims that it nullifies gun control or what not that is not so at all. Tho it might well be possible for the Supreme Court to come alaong with a ruling quoting a portion of the act in order to support a ruling in one direction or another. In fact I believe they did quote a portion of it in the so called Miller Case.

              Are you saying that no one knew of the "Dick Act of 1902" when the gun control act of 1968 was signed into law? Use your head for something more than a hat rack.

                IANAL but the supposed "non-repealable" part of the claim is BS. Any later Congress/Administration/court can and frequently does modify/repeal earlier laws. Heck, even the Constitution doesn't matter to most politicians or judges, let alone a measly prior law. Don't hang your hat on the Dick Act.

                  Closing thread - this is not a valid argument against what they're doing now.
