We’re all aware of so-called gun free zones, places in the United States where it is verboten for law abiding people to carry firearms. Most readers of this blog are likely aware of the so-called Constitution free zones, the areas of the country within 100 miles of the border that the government have claimed fall outside of Constitutional protections. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has put together a rather frightening map that displays the areas of America where the Constitution apparently doesn’t apply:
Using data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACLU has determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.
The government is assuming extraordinary powers to stop and search individuals within this zone. This is not just about the border: This ” Constitution-Free Zone” includes most of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas.
Ever wonder why they only made it 100 miles? Because that covers a majority of the population and as far as the state is concerned that’s good enough for now. Personally I don’t buy the bullshit idea of a Constitution free zone, nowhere in the document does it state that it ceases to apply within 100 miles of the borders and I’m pretty sure the founders would have put something that important somewhere in writing.
America: land of the free so long as you live 100 miles or more inland.
Don’t forget free speech zones invented by Bush and continued by Obama. Your first amendment rights don’t apply outside of them…
Well Fuck, Once again I am screwed, its about 40 miles to the Atlantic for me. So lets see I have things on my computer that might be considered verboten, I am someone who is anti government as it exists today, I like guns, and I want a strong commodity backed currency. Yep I’m done for If I don’t comment on here for a while or Twitter they have me.
I volunteer my services as a canary in the coal mine. Because of my site I’m sure I’ll be disappeared first so when I vanish I recommend you guys flee the country post haste. Brazil is a good place to run to since they’re not much for extraditing, getting a citizenship is pretty easy, and they’re well developed.
