Right to Bear Arms: Limited or Not?

The fascinating part about this argument is that it is true, and the founders themselves would be absolutely horrified by the level of restriction we have placed on arms. A common Progressive argument is that the right to bear arms only applied to an “organized militia.” This is made without the understanding that every able-bodied man of military age was considered, de facto, a part of the militia. Another common argument is that the right only applied to “muskets” or other period firearms. Semi-automatics, revolvers, repeaters, etc… were not envisioned, they say.

Think of the possibilities,this isn’t all that difficult. Tabletop milling machines are available for a reasonable cost,and are easily upgraded.
Compact CNC machines have been around for a long time and there are affordable and often well built units available to buy from surplus suppliers and via auction. Provided a machine is of good quality and has not been abused the hardware will likely work for many years to come.
Though the mechanical side may be serviceable it can be a different story when it comes to the software; the machines may not come with their original control computers, if they do this may not boot or may be missing the security ‘dongle’ for the control software. In addition there have been numerous improvements in motor drive technology in recent years.
We have a Denford Novamill 3-axis mill that came with a rusty old computer that did not boot up. From initial inspection the mill itself looked promising, leaving us with the challenge of connecting a new computer with new software to run the machine.
In this first post we will determine how our machine is wired and bring it up to date with new stepper motor drive electronics, and with a brand new embedded control computer.
Note that CNC machine control cabinets often have dangerous voltages present so care must be taken when working on them.
Out with the old
Inside the control box
Fortunately for us, Denford provide plenty of documentation for their old machines, facilitating modification and repair. They also have an active forum where people discuss their machines and changes they have made. This was incredibly useful when researching updates for the Novamill.
The original control board was removed as it is designed to work with the original, proprietary software via an RS232 connection. This sits on top of a larger board with the electronics to drive the stepper motors. Whilst it would be possible to interface with the old driver board, it was instead replaced with modern higher performance driver modules, the Geckodrive G201X.
The original control board
Next it was determined that the control PC was to be replaced with a much more compact solution: a BeagleBone Black and Probotix breakout board. This will allow use of LinuxCNC, an open source machine control software. It also has the added benefit that the control computer can be placed inside the cabinet.

To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.
To all concerned with this Bill,
I write not to ask of you to somehow decide upon infringement of my God-given rights; that consent is given only between myself and the Lord. You seek power which you do not possess, Lordship over man which cannot be granted only through consent of the governed.
Allow me to clarify- Government is based upon social contract. Laws are obeyed of convenience, and at such time as to become overbearing or cumbersome, recourse must be taken to ensure that freedom for us and our progeny.
Laws which infringe upon personal Liberties are, without exception, guised as reactions to some sort of crisis- which according to the authors, would prevent such atrocities. In every case, without exception, nothing is prevented aside from the stifling…

A year of reckoning: Police fatally shoot nearly 1,000
Posted: December 27, 2015 by gamegetterII in Police state USSATags: abuse of power, Nanny State, police killings, police misconduct, police shootings, police state, police state USSA, shot by police
Nearly a thousand times this year, an American police officer has shot and killed a civilian.
When the people hired to protect their communities end up killing someone, they can be called heroes or criminals — a judgment that has never come more quickly or searingly than in this era of viral video, body cameras and dash cams. A single bullet fired at the adrenaline-charged apex of a chase can end a life, wreck a career, spark a riot, spike racial tensions and alter the politics of the nation.
In a year-long study, The Washington Post found that the kind of incidents that have ignited protests in many U.S. communities — most often, white police officers killing unarmed black men — represent less than 4 percent of fatal police shootings. Meanwhile, The Post found that the great majority of people who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt.
The Post sought to compile a record of every fatal police shooting in the nation in 2015, something no government agency had done. The project began after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in August 2014, provoking several nights of fiery riots, weeks of protests and a national reckoning with the nexus of race, crime and police use of force.
Race remains the most volatile flash point in any accounting of police shootings. Although black men make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 40 percent of the unarmed men shot to death by police this year, The Post’s database shows. In the majority of cases in which police shot and killed a person who had attacked someone with a weapon or brandished a gun, the person who was shot was white. But a hugely disproportionate number — 3 in 5 — of those killed after exhibiting less threatening behavior were black or Hispanic.
Regardless of race, in more than a quarter of cases, the fatal encounter involved officers pursuing someone on foot or by car — making chases one of the most common scenarios in the data. Some police chiefs and training experts say more restrictive rules on when to give chase could prevent unnecessary shootings.
Like a growing number of police shootings, the death of David Kassick on a snow-covered field near his sister’s house in Hummelstown, Pa., was captured on video — a technological shift that has dramatically altered how Americans perceive officers’ use of deadly force.
In two minutes and 10 seconds of harrowing footage, the Kassick video serves as an almost perfect Rorschach test in the national debate over when it is justifiable for an officer to take a life.
