So Trump is all set to do his ban on “bump stocks.” Let’s look at a few aspects of this: 1 – This is not being done by legislation. It is being unilaterally done, dictator-style, by just declaring bump-stocks to fit within the definition of what is already “illegal,” in direct contrast to the DOJ’s own prior interpretation of the law, going back for decades. In other words, Trump is declaring that what the ATF and DOJ thought the law meant before wasn’t authoritarian and controlling enough. (Incidentally, he could just as easily do the same thing with tri-burst trigger assemblies next.) 2 – Unlike the misnamed 1994 “assaults weapons ban,” this dictatorial decree prohibits the possession of things that lots of people already legally own, and requires people to destroy or surrender them. 3 – This is a violation of the Fifth Amendment, in that in requires people to destroy or hand over their own previously “legal” property, without compensation. 4 – This is a violation of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, since nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government any jurisdiction over such matters. (Of course, that is true of most federal “legislation,” but Trump is continuing the totalitarian practice of pretending the state can do whatever the hell it wants.) 5 – This is a violation of the Second Amendment, as it constitutes federal legislation restricting the ability of the people to keep and bear arms. (Again, this certainly isn’t the first example of that, but Trump is continuing the authoritarian bullshit.) If your response to all of this is, “4D chess,” you’re an idiot. In fact, if you make excuses for it at all, you are a boot-licking pawn of a lawless, dictatorial megalomaniac, and just as bad as the twits who mindless cheered for Chairman Obama’s authoritarian crap. By the way, this is worse “gun control” than any Democrat President or Congress has passed in my lifetime, because it prohibits the possession of already-existing private property. So let’s see how many proud Trumpites have excuses for this. Poster Comment: If your response to all of this is, “4D chess,” you’re an idiot.

Larken Rose is not playing 4-D chess. He isn't even playing 3-D checkers. Ex-con Larken Rose is out of federal prison and and has resumed his carreer of selling legal bullcrap. Rose and his wife went to federal prison when they tried to sell their legal bullcrap to a jury. Larken Rose and his wife, Tessa David, are best known for selling and implementing their idea that Congress could only tax foreign income, and therefore they, and anyone who believed their nonsense, did not have to pay income taxes. Each earned a stretch in federal prison. Wesley Snipes found the section 861 argument persuasive and stopped paying income tax. He earned a three year stretch in federal prison and his acting career kind of dried up. Taking legal advice from douchebags can be harmful to oneself. Such douchebags do not make a reliable source for telling others what the law says or means. http://tpgurus.wikidot.com/larken-rose Gurus and Other Big Fish Larken Rose Background Larken D. Rose attended a two-year college, then worked as a gardener until he married Tessa David, who had her own business transcribing medical records. Rose was helping her with her business when he began developing his "section 861 argument" and materials explaining and promoting that argument. Rose is a self-described anarchist, who has written in private correspondence (introduced into evidence as a criminal trial) that "I don't actually like the Constitution" because it gives too much power to politicians," and that "I feel no obligation to obey" the law. Theories Advocated/Promoted Rose is the best-known advocate of the "section 861 argument", claiming that the regulations promulgated under Subchapter N of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code show that only income from foreign source is taxable. Rose supports that argument by claiming that, under the Constitution, Congress can tax only foreign income. Books, Web Sites, Videos, and Organizations Rose maintains, or has collaborated in maintaining, a number of different web sites, including http://www.theft-by-deception.com, http://www.section861.info, and (more recently) http://www.larkenrose.com. Rose explains his theories in a book/pamphlet "Taxable Income," which he makes freely available through his web sites. Rose has also created a video, "Theft by Deception," which he has sold as both a VHS tape and a digital CD. While in prison, Rose wrote another book, "How to be a Successful Tyrant," which he himself subtitles as "The Megalomaniac Manifesto," and which is basically nothing but a long rant about what he views as the amorality and illegitimacy of the legal system that put him in prison. Since being released from prison, Rose has written two more books, Kicking the Dragon and The Iron Web, the latter of which he admits is fiction. Court Actions Larken Rose stopped filing federal income tax returns in 1998 and began publicly asking the government to prosecute him in 2001. He was unable to convince a jury that he believed in good faith that his income was not “taxable” because of section 861, and was convicted on five counts of willfully failing to file tax returns, which earned him 15 months in federal prison. United State v. Rose, No. 2:05-CR-01101 (U.S.D.C. E.D.Pa. 8/12/2005), aff'd No. 05-5199 (3rd Cir. 8/5/2008). He served 13 months in prison and was released on 12/29/2006. Since being released from prison, he has resumed his promotion of the section 861 argument and the materials he created explaining the argument. Students/Disciples/Associates The section 861 argument was actually created by Thurston Bell, but there is no known collaboration between Rose and Bell. Rose was in a partnership of sorts with Dr. Thomas Clayton to promote the section 861 argument, and at his trial Rose was assisted by Larry Becraft as his stand-by defense counsel. During Rose's trial on charges of willful failure to file tax returns, the prosecution introduce a copy of a letter that Rose had written to the Militia of Montana, a group associated with both violence and racism, proposing a collaboration towards a "bloodless coup" of the federal government. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://www.justice.gov/archive/tax/txdv05626.htm FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TAX NOTORIOUS TAX PROTESTOR SENTENCED TO 15 MONTHS IN PRISON WASHINGTON, D.C. - Notorious tax protestor Larken Rose of Hollywood, Pennsylvania was sentenced in federal district court to 15 months imprisonment for failing to file tax returns for the years 1998 -2002, the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced today. In compliance with Judge Michael M. Baylson’s admonition following Rose’s conviction in August, Rose submitted delinquent tax returns for the years 1997-2004 and paid a substantial deposit to the IRS toward his outstanding tax liability. The court sentenced Rose to one year of supervised release following his prison term and ordered Rose to pay a fine of $10,000 and all taxes, interest, and penalties he owes to the IRS. “People who intentionally fail to file returns or pay taxes as required by law can expect to face criminal prosecution, conviction and imprisonment,” said Eileen J. O’Connor, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Tax Division. “And they will still be required to pay the taxes they tried to avoid, plus interest and penalties.” Rose, a former co-owner of a medical transcription business, was convicted by a jury in August 2005 of five counts of willfully failing to file federal income tax returns. The evidence at trial established that Rose did not file returns for 1998-2002 despite earning $500,000 in income during those years. Rose claimed that he did not file returns for those five years because he believed that income he earned in the U.S. was not taxable according to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 861. The evidence, however, showed that Rose received more than a dozen notices from the IRS rejecting his Section 861 argument and that he received more than ten letters from members of Congress notifying him that his Section 861 argument was invalid. In addition, Rose admitted that he was aware of two court cases rejecting his Section 861 argument. Courts have consistently held that IRC Section 861 does not excuse U.S. citizens from filing tax returns and reporting income they earn in the U.S. At trial, Judge Baylson instructed the jury that Rose’s Section 861 argument was incorrect as a matter of law. In convicting Rose, the jury rejected Rose’s claim that he held a good faith belief that he was not required to file federal income tax returns or pay federal income tax. “The conviction of individuals who intentionally conceal income and evade taxes is a vital element in maintaining public confidence in our tax system,” stated Nancy Jardini, Chief, IRS Criminal Investigation. “Mr. Rose’s sentencing today reminds us that fulfilling individual tax obligations is a legal requirement and those who willfully evade that responsibility will be prosecuted.” “It’s simply not fair to honest taxpayers if we don’t hold those who refuse to pay their fair share accountable,” said Pat Meehan, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. “This sentence is a reminder that every citizen must pay what he or she owes. Honest, hard-working people who pay their taxes have no time for those who scheme to evade their responsibilities and neither does the law.” On November 9, 2005, in a separate trial, a jury found Rose’s wife and business partner, Tessa David, guilty of willfully failing to file tax returns for 1998-2002. David’s sentencing is scheduled for February 15, 2006. Assistant Attorney General O’Connor and U.S. Attorney Meehan thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Floyd J. Miller, and Tax Division Trial Attorney, Shawn T. Noud, who prosecuted the case. They also thanked the special agents of the IRS, whose assistance was essential to the successful investigation and prosecution of the case.

Ms. David, 45, was convicted three months after her husband, Larken Rose, 37, was convicted on the same charges in another trial in Federal District Court in Philadelphia. Her lawyers, Ellen C. Brotman and Anna M. Durbin, said there would be no comment. The couple, who run a medical transcription business in Jenkintown, Pa., made a video, "Theft by Deception," in 2002, which asserted that a section of the federal tax code was written in a way that the wages paid to most Americans are not taxable. Mr. Rose wrote to John Ashcroft, then the attorney general, announcing that he and his wife had not paid taxes in years and daring the government to seek his indictment.
