American Town Moves To Confiscate ‘Assault Weapons,’ Fine Violators Up To $1,000 Per Day

Piecemeal gun control being rolled out across America

A village in Illinois has declared a ban on “assault weapons,” and has given gun owners 60 days to turn them all in.

After June 13, residents of the Village of Deerfield have 60 days to sell, render inoperable or turn their “assault weapons” over to local police.

“Any person who is found to have violated this Article shall be fined not less than $250 and not more than $1,000 for each offense,” reads the ordinance penalty, “and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.”

The village defines an “assault weapon” broadly, including rifles with fixed magazines that are capable of accepting magazines holding more than ten rounds, certain pistols with detachable magazines, and certain shotguns.
The town has additionally banned so-called high capacity magazines.



“Large capacity magazine means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds,” the ordinance states.

“The Chief of Police or his or her designee shall have the power to confiscate any assault weapon of any person charged with a violation under this Article,” reads Section 15-91.



Weapons and magazines surrendered or confiscated will be recorded and destroyed by police.

Law enforcement and military members are excluded from the measure “if the persons described are authorized by a competent authority to so carry an assault weapon loaded on a public way and such person is acting within the scope of his duties or training…”

Several concerned citizens sounded off on the unconstitutional measure at town hall meetings.

“Of the 26 people who spoke” on March 19, “15 were against banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and 11 said they wanted it to become law,” reports the Chicago Tribune.

Army and National Guard veteran Patrick Murphy said the ban would eventually lead to a ban on all guns.

“[Murphy] equates this ban to banning a specific vehicle because it could kill, banning certain types of dogs, or banning certain guns from everyone including law enforcement. He expressed concern that there will first be a ban on assault weapons, then shotguns, then hand guns,” a copy of the meeting’s minutes reads.
Another resident pointed out media focus on gun deaths was disproportionate and one-sided.

“There have been a lot of emotional and reactionary things going on since the Parkland, Florida, event,” said Wheeling resident Rich Bierman.

“Today, 115 people on average died from opioid overdose. The media attention to one event is enormous, but the media attention to overdoses is not even close. Although there is an intensive amount of attention during mass shooting events, the media pushes the agenda to an extreme. Opioid overdose will not get national coverage. Deerfield does not have a problem with semiautomatic rifles. He questioned what will happen after the next mass shooting, after this Ordinance is passed. He questioned whether the Village would try for a ban on handguns.”

Other speakers included Deerfield high school students who said banning guns would alleviate mass shootings, with others hoping other municipalities and eventually the state would follow suit.
Below is a summary of the Board of Trustees April 2, 2018 Regular Meeting:

Our Flags, Our History

By Anna Von Reitz
 
The only "laws" or "regulations" you commonly find about the Stars and Stripes is in the Territorial United States Federal Code where they define the proportions of the flag that THEY will be using in Title IV.  

But those regulations in no way restrict the proportions of the Stars and Stripes that We, the People use.  

The Stars and Stripes literally belongs to us.  It is our property.  It came about as one of the war flags used in the Revolutionary War --- the other flag to come out of the Revolution as a "national" level flag, was the "rebellious flag" --- so-called because of the vertical stripes--- the United States Civil Flag.  

In the world of international flags generally, the horizontal "bars" indicate resistance and forbidding of trespass, much as a gate bars a road or a dam blocks a stream.  Thus the flag with horizontal bars symbolizes conditions of war, where we are resisting or fighting or otherwise restricting and controlling.  

The vertical columns symbolize "free flow" -- the gates are open, the columns of the government are solidly in place.  

Just think of an old-fashioned dam in a river --- the floodgates can be closed, forcing the water to back up behind the dam (horizontal bars on a flag) or open, allowing the water to pass through (vertical bars). 

So both flags have their genesis during the Revolution.  Both are national level flags, meaning all the colonies used them to identify the American side of the conflict.  But because of their symbolism, one came to be used in war and the other in peacetime.  Prior to the Civil War, both flags were in common use with the Stars and Stripes being flown over military installations --- forts, arsenals, training fields, etc., and the Civil Flag being flown over civilian installations --- post offices, customs houses, departmental buildings, polling places, public hospitals, town halls, and so on.   

If you think about this, this is merely common sense.  There should be a clear distinction between the federal military service and the federal civilian service. So there are two flags, and that should not be any big surprise to anyone.  

What should be cause for concern and alarm is that there has commonly been only one flag -- the war flag --  in evidence for many years, but because people don't know that there should be two flags, they haven't questioned the absence of the civil flag. 

Both flags inhabit international jurisdiction.  Because the Territorial United States continued to make war and "be" at war after the so-called Civil War ended, it continued to fly the Stars and Stripes and exercised our delegated powers in the international jurisdiction of the sea.  Because the actual states were at peace after the conflict, they flew the United States Civil Flag instead, so for a time, from 1865 to 1907, both flags were -- as before the "Civil War" -- being used to distinguish between military and civilian functions. 

Then, in 1907, the first Great Fraud occurred when the Territorial United States Congress bankrupted "The United States of America, Incorporated" and "took title to the land" that the Territorial States were holding in trust for us and used our land as security backing their bankruptcy.   Because title to our land thus was transferred "for safekeeping" to foreign Third Parties (the Holy See) and basically impounded (like we impound a car) the international land jurisdiction that we are owed functionally disappeared and all that was left flying was the Stars and Stripes. 

Out of habit and necessity and most of all to prevent public alarm, the perpetrators continued to operate federal services for the international land jurisdiction using the Territorial United States Government structure to do so.  Thus, we continued to have "Federal Marshals" policing the international land jurisdiction and "United States Marshals" policing the international sea jurisdiction just as it always was, even though there was now only one flag --- the Stars and Stripes -- being flown.  Likewise, the Coast Guard continued to function as a "civilian maritime service" under the same conditions. 

[Fast forward--- In 1953, this first bankruptcy settled and all the land titles were released, both public and private.  It would have been the correct moment for the Territorial Congress to return those titles to the states and people to whom they belong, but by then, 46 years had passed and many parcels of private land had changed hands and the various states had made allocations for parks and roads and electrical easements ---- and besides, giving it all back would entail admitting that they stole it all in the first place, so inside of the Territorial Congress doing the right thing, they did the convenient thing.  They threw up their hands, pretended that they didn't know and couldn't trace the actual owners of the land, so they declared it "abandoned" and rolled all the land titles into gigantic state and federal land trusts.]  

Then, in 1933, the second Great Fraud hit, when the Municipal United States Congress bankrupted the "United States of America, Incorporated" and the perpetrators seized upon our private property -- our copyrights, patents, trademarks -- embodied as names, our physical bodies and our labor, our private property in sum total and also confiscated our privately held gold-- as collateral to back their debts during their bankruptcy.  Again, the Holy See held us in receivership.  

This was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's infamous "New Deal".  Thanks to this Gross Breach of Trust, the civilian side of the federal government was reduced to using the "National Colors" as a flag --- the familiar flag with gold fringe around it, to give the appearance that the Stars and Stripes was still in use.  

[Fast forward -- In 1999, this second bankruptcy settled, and all the private property, including claim to our labor, was released.  However, once again, 66 years had passed and the perpetrators -- for all the same reasons as the first time around -- claimed that they couldn't possibly locate all the heirs of these estates.  So, again, they declared all our "personal estates" to be "abandoned property" and cast them adrift as abandoned properties in the international jurisdiction of the sea.  All of this, of course, is gainsaid by the fact that they continued to know where we were for tax purposes.  In 1999-2000 during the infamous Bush-Gore Presidential Election and the Florida Chads scandal, the perpetrators were obliged to abandon Washington, DC and leave it vacated for 40 days.  During that time, Commander Russell-J:Gould stepped into the gap and reclaimed the Title IV flag so that no hostile foreign entity could gain control or use of it, he also re-opened and kept open the Postmaster and Post Master Offices, and took other actions to guarantee the continuance of the government as a whole.  He also restructured the Territorial and Municipal Supreme Courts and conducted court martial proceedings for a period of many months.  At the time, people laughed at him, but he preserved the entire public side of our government, except for that portion maintained by The United States of America (Unincorporated) which continued to exercise all the non-delegated powers.] 

I trust that you can now see why the United States Civil Flag disappeared and why the Stars and Stripes was reduced to a mere "color banner" during our lifetimes. 

When the perpetrators rolled everything and abandoned the American Trusts in 1999 we knew we had to take action, so those of us who had stayed awake formed up our Nation-States and gave Notice to the Hague and the Queen and the Pope and other parties of interest.  We also began to evaluate the history and the legalities of all this to discern the mechanisms of the fraud and therefore, how to unravel it.  This was a long and thankless and dangerous road to be on. Many thousands of us were mis-characterized and railroaded into federal and "State of State" prisons.  Up to a million and a half  peaceful American state nationals remain unlawfully and unjustly incarcerated in federal prisons  and up to 15 million more in federal franchise State of State and County jails --- simply to be used as slave labor and to generate profits for the federal perpetrators because they can charge our trust accounts for the "service" of keeping us in their jails.  Many thousands of us were murdered, beaten, burned out, jeered at, our families threatened, our property seized, all while being subjected to unlawfully imposed taxes, fees, and levies to pay for the "services" of our abusers -- our own employees, our own military.  

Even now some members of the endlessly deceitful and often grossly incompetent Bar Associations are trying to promote and justify the idea that such fanciful and supposedly dangerous creatures as "sovereign citizens" exist and they are prosecuting these oxymorons in the courts as "subversives".  One doesn't know these days whether to laugh or cry.  Faced with these ridiculous claims, people need to observe that one cannot act in the capacity of a sovereign and a slave (citizen) at the same time.  The same is true of their next offer, "private citizen", because it is impossible to act in private capacity while acting in public capacity. 

When Obama took office --- a Muslim man born in Kenya -- eligible to serve in Territorial and Municipal corporation offices, but not eligible to serve as our National President nor as an agency for the Head of State, it was a clear warning sign and the ax was not long in falling.  He announced the impending bankruptcy of the Municipal United States in early 2015 and he set up the bowling pins to make sure that the Territorial United States would be forced to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy by 2017. 

This would have been the coup de grace, as it would vacate both the Municipal and Territorial Governments at the same time, and leave this entire continent at the mercy of bankruptcy trustees chosen by secondary creditors --- the international banks.  

That would have left all three federal Constitutions vacated from the federal side of the agreements.  The National Constitution has purportedly been held "in abeyance" since 1861.  The Territorial Constitution would cease to function upon declaration of the insolvency.  And the Municipal Constitution would no longer be in effect thanks to the liquidation of the Municipal Corporation of the District of Columbia. 

The banks and the scheming criminals behind them had planned the perfect Trifecta and fully intended to place a claim of abandonment against this entire country and its people, and then to come in here and use a commercial mercenary army operated under color of law "as" the familiar alphabet soup agencies --- BATF, IRS, BLM, FEMA, FBI, and so on, to evict the peaceful American people and "resettle" them exactly as the profane British Government "resettled" the Irish population in the mid-1800's. 

Imagine their surprise when the American Head of State showed up and faced off the Queen of England?  

And when, moreover, our well-established Due Process and International Claims were brought forward?  And we demonstrated beyond any doubt that we know who we are and that our actual sovereign (means "unincorporated") government is still alive, kicking, and here to claim back every iota of the property owed to the American states and people as the Priority Creditors and Lawful Holders in Due Course?  

When the "heirs to the Kingdom return from over the sea" -- as we have-- then the trusts all collapse and are indeed "factualized" and must vest in the institutions and the people and states that they rightfully belong to.  Not only that, but upon their declaration of bankruptcy, all the powers that were delegated to these creatures revert back to us and to the government of the people, by the people, and for the people ---- so long as we are still organized and sentient enough to conduct our own business, which, Thank God, we are.  

So what does all this mean for our flags?  It means that we are totally enabled to fly our flags any time and in any style we wish.  We can unfurl our long moth-balled civil flag and send out our Federal Marshals to police the international jurisdiction of the land.  We can return our Coast Guard to civilian service.  We can fly the Stars and Stripes in any manner we wish, and thanks to Commander Russell-J:Gould even the Title IV flag was rescued and preserved intact and kept out of hostile hands. 

It means that there won't be any commercial mercenary armies disguised as "STATE OF STATE" police or as employees of "federal agencies" coming around causing any trouble on our shores.  It means that instead of being paupers, Americans who have labored as slaves for these vermin for the past 150 years, will instead inherit all that they stored up for themselves and be able to forgive the debts and restore the national governments and bless the people of the entire Earth.

Blocked Transfer of Funds

By Anna Von Reitz

While most Americans are blissfully unaware of the fact, an insidious "lock down" of our economy has occurred. It's something that not even the top of the top of the top ranks of international bankers understand --- but nearly all large funds transfers into and out of America are being blocked.

I have observed this for some time and what has become clear is that some parties have the ability to block funds and to trade funds, but don't have the "Go!" button. Theirs is an entirely negative function. All they can say is "No", not "Yes".

Slowly, this small cadre of un-elected, unauthorized agency personnel is, like a python, squeezing America to death.

They are strangling us in the name of protecting us.

Their excuse, of course, is to prevent importation of drug money and money laundering and to prevent off-shore tax sheltering in general, but in reality, their function has become lawless and sinister. Even transactions that have all their provenance and all their approvals and have gone through all the many steps required to prove that they are clean and legitimate and voluntary and blah, blah, blah, blah ---- are being blocked for no reason.

This is happening with large funds transfers and with relatively small transfers -- amounts as small as $50,000 -- and nobody can explain it, but it is simple enough. The old cabal is still hanging on via Homeland Security's ability to block and redirect funds transfers, long after these jokers need to be replaced and removed.

It also smacks of international theft and misappropriation of funds. Sometimes the transfers simply "disappear" and wind up weeks or months later on private trading platforms with the proceeds earmarked to go to individuals with no known authority to interfere with the transfers, trade the funds, or profit from them.

President Trump seems unaware or unable to do anything about it. International officials at the so-called Treasury are no better. The Bankruptcy Trustees appointed by Secondary Creditors, are, of course, only working in the interests of those who appointed them and generally doing their best to disregard the Priority Creditors and our interests.

So today I am issuing a public complaint.

Transfers to The American States and Nations Bank / ASAN, like transfers generally, are being blocked for no credible reason. We are not a commercial bank and function exclusively in international trade. We are not subject to any Territorial or Municipal statute, code, or agency----nor are we subject to their Bankruptcy Trustees. This obstruction and restraint of trade against our sovereign government, The United States of America (Unincorporated), is unconscionable and unlawful and must be promptly corrected.

Insomuch as our business is private and Third Party and sovereign with respect to both the Territorial United States and the Municipal United States which received their delegated powers from us and which we now exercise ourselves or have re-delegated to other federal partners as a result of their bankruptcy, there is no excuse for any interference in our affairs or the affairs of any corporation we own.

This situation is like having a derelict bankrupt son and his best buddy preventing you from controlling your own bank business and trying to tap into your assets to pay off their creditors--- when you are yourself, by far, their largest priority creditor.

So this is Public Fair Notice and Complaint that the US Bankruptcy Trustees and the Treasury and the so-called Homeland Security forces need to get their act together and stop "misplacing" and blocking and trading on assets that don't belong to them or to their debtors----- clean up and clear the system.

As a final note, the official logo and emblem of The American States and Nations Bank/ASAN is the American Bison, otherwise known as the Buffalo. Like the people who are increasingly coming home, they were once on the brink of extinction--- but have made a great comeback.

My Final Answer to Larry Becraft and Bob Hurt, Et Alia.

By Anna Von Reitz

Tired of Arguing With Family and Lawyers and Everyone Else.

Here's my reply to Larry Becraft, Bob Hurt, and all the other Bar Attorneys and everyone else in denial.  

Here is your answer.  Quick, easy, utterly authoritative.  It's not just Grandma telling you (or all the Doubting Thomases you know) the Truth about the Banks and Politicians and Bar Associations and Political Parties and the history behind all this.  

Read it, download it, print it, reproduce it, share it ---- and weep for how gullible we've been. 

We, the Sheeple v. the Banksters:

https://www.scribd.com/document/100879878/We-The-Sheeple-Vs-the-Banksters

Larry, I have had to deal with thousands of people like you, certainly hundreds of Bar Attorneys.  It's always the same.  You always deny everything, right down to the point where you can't deny anymore---and then you fall silent.  

You just stop arguing, because you know you can't win, you can't explain, you can't pull the necessary evidence --- even falsified evidence --- out of your hat, anymore. 

So you go silent.  And you wait a few days or weeks or months or years and then you come barreling out of your silence and you whack away at me (and others, too) until, once again, you are forced into silence. 

Oddly, after being repeatedly reduced to silence, you still don't bother to inquire into the information that quashed you so completely that you had nothing left to say.  You never reply to that.  You just let it lay and apparently hope that it won't be dredged back up and used to silence you again.  

So I am tired of this game.  This is the slam-dunk, the reiteration of so many arguments we have had, only this time, it's not just me reducing you to silence and begging for your honest contemplation.  

https://www.scribd.com/document/100879878/We-The-Sheeple-Vs-the-Banksters 

Try to discredit all the witnesses lined up in the 384 pages above and come back and try to prove that I am an ignorant madwoman leading people astray.  Or just stay silent to the rest of your days.

Donation to assist in efforts to restore our republic

I hate to ask but money is too tight this month. I have not asked since January but I need to ask now. We have been moving forward with taking back our country. I try to cover what I can from my pocket and my job has been very slow. Work has just picked up a little but the pay is still short. Servers, bills, domains, security, etc... it all costs money. If anyone is willing to pitch in and assist, your donations will be greatly appreciated and are going to a worthy cause.

The Confession of Sin

By Anna Von Reitz

Anna von Reitz

23 hrs · 

Corrections,       Published on Facebook yesterday, 4 2 2018, 

I have been sick the last few days and not quite up to my normal standards of imperfection.....

In the letter titled "To President Trump and UN Inspector General on Easter Sunday 2018" the name of our ancient homeland in France is "Armorica" -- the first "r" wasn't included and it was written "Amorica" instead. Don't worry. The official version to Trump and the IG was correct.

And in "America: Some Assembly Required --- Literally" sent out today, I should have noted that Dave Robinson formatted the book on Amazon having sixty pages, not fifty (which is how many pages my original had, howbeit in 8.5" X 11" format.). The illustrated version will probably have fifty pages and be in the original format.

There is also a typo (but an important one) in the website address for the new National Assembly site. There should be a hyphen between the words "national" and "assembly" ---- http://national-assembly.net.

Please forgive me for causing any consternation or difficulty in finding information. I was born with two left thumbs, two left feet, bad eyesight and a predilection for dropping stitches, hyphens, dishes and occasional letters.

My Father used to watch me diligently practicing my typing skills and shake his head in wonder.....not because a girl was typing, but because he was amazed that I could type at all, given my near total lack of eye-hand coordination.

The Confession of Sin

So many responded to my “Correction” yesterday.  Would it surprise you to learn that I make such admissions and corrections every day, they just don’t always get published on the Front Page?  My “standard of imperfection” is a joke, but it is also true.

I go slow and make a lot of mistakes---literally.  My whole life has been a cavalcade of mistakes and corrections.  And, amazingly, I never stop making mistakes and corrections.  You would think that at a certain point in one’s life, you would have it all down and know all the answers and never fall face down on your nose, but guess what? 

You get wiser with age, but nobody is immune from sin and folly and the need for forgiveness.

 What is sin?  It is a mistake. 

That’s all it is.

A mistake, and anyone can make a mistake.  Indeed, we all do. 

So it is not the matter of making mistakes that condemns us.  It is the hard-hearted refusal to admit our mistakes and correct them that condemns us --- and that condemnation comes at our own hands, not at God’s. 

Let’s clearly perceive how this happens.  We make a mistake.  We fall into a falsehood.  We do something wrong.  And then? 

By failing to admit and correct our mistakes, we are obliged to live with them and their consequences.

It’s like going down the wrong road.

We can only retrace our steps and find our way again, or keep going on the wrong road until we realize our mistake, admit it, and turn around.

Remember the difference between Peter and Judas Iscariot?

Both made terrible mistakes.  Judas by being faithless and beguiled by the Sanhedrin.  Peter by being faithless and denying that he even knew Jesus.

One despaired and hung himself, after casting the silver back at the feet of his betrayers.  The other one. Peter, knew that he could be forgiven and he trusted in that, so he went on living and ultimately, to glory.

Both confessed their sin.  Both made correction.  But one chose death and one chose life, and the difference between them was faith --- faith in forgiveness-- faith that no matter how bad our sins are, we can turn from them and be forgiven.

We are here to learn.  We have to be able to discern evil if we are to avoid it.   We are destined, fated, and meant to make mistakes, because by such trial and by such error we progress.  We learn.

The further we progress on the road to salvation the harder we are tested, the more explicitly all our faults and failings are exposed.  Yes, even as in a refiner’s fire, we are melted, reduced to tears, humbled in every way there is to be humbled.

Yet if we persevere, we are also greatly rewarded.  We have peace.  Our feet are firmly grounded.  We see the snares set for us and we avoid them.  We recognize Satan’s flattery and twisted words, his half-truths and vain promises --- just as Jesus did.

Listen and know --- the ancient kings were not kings of the Earth.  They were kings of men. 

Remember the sign the Romans hung above Jesus?  King of the Jews? 

Not King of Jerusalem.  Not King of Judea.  Herod and his sons were the Kings of Judea. 

No, our beloved King was “King of the Jews”.  Just as King David was King of the Jews.  Just as Jesus is King now of every truly Christian heart.   A king of men, not geographical places.

He did not seek any Earth-bound Kingdom.  He led no political movement.  He carried no weapons.

He sat down on the Throne of Mercy and wielded the Sword of Truth, instead.

In the same way we walk forward today, because we come from Him and in His Name, to address the Evils that have infested High Places, and to bring these Evils down.

We live today in a world where nearly everything has been corrupted by the mistakes of men.  Doctors promote poisons.  Lawyers promote injustice.  Bankers promote financial crimes. Priests preach the benefits of sin.  Governments wage “war” on those who employ them. 

It’s crazy without a doubt. Upside down and inside out.  Satan has had a field day, because so many souls have lost their way and not had sense enough to admit it and turn around.

There are a great many people throughout the world in dismay.  They have been tricked by Satan and his promises, but now they see that he has been bound and chained and led away.  All his lies are uncovered, all his cruelty and madness displayed.  What now?

Come home.  Follow Peter’s example: choose life and come home, though your sins be as scarlet, though you weep and though you are afraid of what you have done and what you have left undone, don’t hesitate a moment longer. Turn around. 

Join with me. Admit your faults and limitations, acknowledge your mistakes and failings. Do it every day. And then, pick yourself up, dust off your britches and go on toddling, secure in the knowledge that someday, you will run.

After all, despite everything, I did learn to type!

WHERE are the VICTIMS of the Parkland shooting??!!

Parkland shooting victims
not found in Obituary Data base

just like what happened at

Sandy Hook!!!!!

Appears the shooting 'victims' did NOT die but were well paid crisis actor hirelings who collected their high paychecks from the 'gun confiscating'  Nazis leftists

Why isn't this discovery being broadcast all over the main stream media?

CNN

 Published on Apr 1, 2018

National Rifle Association board member and classic rocker Ted Nugent slammed survivors of the Parkland, Florida, 'school shooting', calling them "liars" and "poor mushy-brained children." 

Nugent made the comments during an interview on "The Joe Pags Show," a nationally syndicated conservative radio program. 

"All you have to do now is not only feel sorry for the liars, but you have to go against them and pray to God that the lies can be crushed and the liars can be silenced so that real measures can be put into place to actually save children's lives," Nugent said about the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students.
