The Supreme Court Says Criminals Need Not Register Their Guns In America.

That has been the law of the land since 1968. I’ve had the gun rights haters tell me I was crazy when I’ve asserted America’s felons and ex-convicts are exempt from any form of firearm registration schemes. Registration laws are only government harassment tools to victimize law-abiding gun owners and invade their privacy.

Gun registration is both an expensive and meaningless exercise especially since gun sellers at every level are required to keep records under existing federal law. Why in the world do state and local government need to duplicate what already exists under federal law?

There are in fact two Supreme Court cases that have held requiring felons to register their guns violates their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. The strongest most often cited case is Haynes v. United States, 390 U.S. 85 (1968)

U.S. Supreme Court Haynes v. United States, 390 U.S. 85 (1968)
No. 236 Argued October 11, 1967 Decided January 29, 1968
Syllabus
Petitioner was charged by information with violating 26 U.S.C. § 5851 (part of the National Firearms Act, an interrelated statutory system for the taxation of certain classes of firearms used principally by persons engaged in unlawful activities) by knowingly possessing a defined firearm which had not been registered as required by 26 U.S.C. § 5841. Section 5841 obligates the possessor of a defined firearm to register the weapon, unless he made it or acquired it by transfer or importation, and the Act's requirements as to transfers, makings and importations "were complied with." Section 5851 declares unlawful the possession of such firearm which has "at any time" been transferred or made in violation of the Act, or which "has not been registered as required by section 5841." Additionally, § 5851 provides that "possession shall be deemed sufficient evidence to authorize conviction, unless the defendant explains such possession to the satisfaction of the jury." Petitioner moved before trial to dismiss the charge, sufficiently asserting that § 5851 violated his privilege against self-incrimination guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. The motion was denied, petitioner pleaded guilty, and his conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals.

Held:
1. Congress, subject to constitutional limitations, has authority to regulate the manufacture, transfer, and possession of firearms, and may tax unlawful activities. Pp. 390 U. S. 90, 390 U. S. 98.

2. Petitioner's conviction under § 5851 for possession of an unregistered firearm is not properly distinguishable from a conviction under § 5841 for failure to register possession of a firearm, and both offenses must be deemed subject to any constitutional deficiencies arising under the Fifth Amendment from the obligation to register. Pp. 390 U. S. 90-95.

3. A proper claim of the privilege against self-incrimination provides a full defense to prosecutions either for failure to register under § 5841 or for possession of an unregistered firearm under § 5851. Pp. 390 U. S. 95-100.

4. Restrictions upon the use by federal and state authorities of information obtained as a consequence of the registration requirement,

suggested by the Government, is not appropriate. Marchetti v. United States, ante, p. 390 U. S. 39, and Grosso v. United States, ante, p. 390 U. S. 62. Pp. 390 U. S. 99-100.

5. Since any proceeding in the District Court upon a remand must inevitably result in the reversal of petitioner's conviction, it would be neither just nor appropriate to require such needless action, and accordingly the judgment is reversed. Pp. 390 U. S. 100-101. 372 F.2d 651, reversed.

What’s in the future for Paul Huebl And His Blog?

Please, tell me just what you’d like to see more of at Crime, Guns and Videotape.

This blog began during a dark period for me. I was suffering from a temporary, seven month loss of nearly all my hearing. Doing my normal routine was impossible. The blog became the only outlet I had but frankly it has been fun. Thankfully my hearing returned and my blog stayed.

I was a late comer to this somewhat new way of sharing news and opinion. It’s nothing less than a technology miracle that with modest costs I can mix words with pictures, audio and video.

I believe content is King and I want so much to find time to bring my visitors much more. I want to be able to give you more of what you want from me. I have to guess just what that may be. I also am without funding from this site to gather more content. Creativity for me is a must or I’d have few readers at all. I’ve seen many a decent blog with tiny readership and meaningless crap blogs with amazing readership.

Blog promotion seems to be an art I’ve not yet mastered. I’d love nothing more than to just be generating exactly what my visitors want and make a living at the same time. Only a small percentage of bloggers have made the big time.

TV news and newspapers are dying a slow death of a thousand cuts. The viewers and readers are vanishing. Gone from the usual media customers are the audience of the 18 through 35 demographics. Their former viewers and readers are here in cyberspace.

If I had my way, I’d be reporting to you wherever news happens. I’d go to Iraq, Afghanistan or anyplace where news is unfolding and history is being made. I want to show you those things that seem to get too much filtering by mainstream or old media.

I want to bring you more original video so my visitors can see just what I see. I want to be able to bring you more behind the scenes information from major crimes, government’s missteps and those ordinary people in extraordinary events.

I want to expose more heroes and villains but am limited too often by geography and funding.

As for the question I posed in the headline of this story, I don’t have a clue what the future holds. I’m flying by the seat of my pants.

A Dog’s Life Just Got Better Thanks to Leona Helmsley

New York—Some will say the old broad was loose as a goose. Others will say that the so-called Queen of Mean was a greedy tax cheat. One thing for sure she loved man’s best friend.

Aside from leaving $12 million bucks to her own mutt, Trouble, she has left somewhere between $5 or 8 Billion dollars for the benefit of dogs. Some are outraged she did not take care of the Red Cross, the poor in America or something far more worthy. I say, “Good for Helmsley”!

Dogs improve the lives of humans in so many ways. I believe that our loyal four legged friends prevent thousands of suicides of otherwise lonely seniors. Dogs also prevent untold violent and property crimes every day and they save human lives as rescue animals. What would the blind and disabled do without help dogs?

If our dogs get subsidized veterinary care so they have a better life and the dog pounds of America become doggie hotels like the human ones Helmsley ran that’s okay by me.

Chicago Policemen At Disturbance Call Murdered By Woman

019 District—Officer Richard Francis, 60 Belmont Avenue officer with 27 years on the job was apparently shot dead by a woman who snatched the officer’s own service pistol. The woman was also shot by another officer. Both the officer who later died and the female suspect were taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The woman was in critical condition.

Why Are The Border Jumper's Rights People Angry?

Houston, TX.-- Shot-gunner of The Year, Joe Horn, 62 was cleared of any criminal conduct by a Harris County Grand Jury. Mr. Horn saw his neighbor’s home being burglarized by two burglars who were also illegal aliens. Horn called 911 and did not let some poorly trained civilian call taker miles away give him what may have been bad advice. I say that because only two rats were killed and no innocent people.

I’m, not sure just why the border jumper's rights folks got involved in this unless that think illegal aliens have the right to victimize Americans after they sneak across our borders. I guess in the end that’s just how they feel.

Horn violated an important law of survival, that of conflict avoidance. There are only so many rats you can confront even with a shotgun before they kill you first. It took guts to do what Horn did. I see no crime even if anyone has shotgun wounds in their back. This involved multiple offenders and the lone Joe Horn had no way of knowing just how many burglars there were of how great the threat.

When a substantial portion of the American population supports home invading burglars over a senior citizen trying to stop them it’s easy to see why this country has so much serious crime.

Some have called Horn’s actions a Hate Crime. There was hatred all right, hatred of criminals invading homes.

Today the calls are for a FBI investigation into the violation of civil rights of the dead rats. Horn was no public official acting under color of law. Horn was just a desperate man demanding his right to be safe from criminals.

Had this happened in Chicago the politicians would be demanding the death penalty for Joe Horn. I bet horn’s Pasadena, TX neighborhood is safer these days then even Mayor Daley’s. Perhaps it’s time to turn the tables more often on predatory rats like the late Diego Ortiz, 30, and Hernando Riascos Torres, 38.

I hope the word gets out that burglary is very dangerous and a really poor choice of an occupation.

Obama Is Clear And Present Danger To Gun Owners And All Americans

Fairfax, VA—The NRA plans to participate in our upcoming Presidential election in a big way. With unlimited funds from billionaire George Soros funding every Leftwing, crackpot politician the NRA will help level the playing field with a $40 million-dollar war chest.

We had a significant victory with last week’s Heller decision but there is much more to be done. One or two changes on the Supreme Court may lead to the end of the Second Amendment.

The greatest threat to American’s right to protect their families is Barack Hussein Obama. He voted for every draconian gun ban he could and is on the record as supporting a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns. Today however he claims to have a more moderate opinion. Only a total fool would accept Obama’s new position.

Obama’s loyalty is to the corrupt Chicago Democratic Mob, terrorists, bombers and crooks that helped make him the candidate he is today. Americans must see through Obama’s public relations smokescreen and reject this exceptionally unqualified and dangerous candidate.

The Maxwell Street Of L.A.

For my Chicago readers there was the old neighborhood called Maxwell Street. You could buy anything there but you had to keep a sharp eye out for rip offs and scams. That Rolex watch at an incredible low price will turn your wrist green and stop dead in a few days.

The four gallons of high quality deck enamel you bought may turn out to be tap water once you get home, open the cans and start your project. In fairness the market could save you a lot of money and it was fun. The air had that familar smell of Vienna hot dogs everwhere. Urban renewal brought the death of Maxwell Street as I knew it. Gone today are the street vendors that gave the place character.

Maxwell Street has a nickname, Jew Town or JT for short.. That’s because the property owners and vendors were predominately Jewish. The employees were mostly African-American. An interesting culture of sorts was born as a result. Many Africa-Americans named their children after their bosses. Names like Seymour, Morris, and Jacob were common monikers for many of these dark skinned kids.

In L.A. it’s called the Fashion District near the downtown area. The property and shops are owned by Asians and the workers are Mexicans. Nobody checks things like Green Cards and on payday they save paper by not writing checks. I guess cash is sufficient!

The same consumer issues exist in the Fashion District about poor quality or worse. The proliferation in pirated designer labeled clothing and DVDs of the latest Hollywood films are everywhere. Then there are many quality items you can round up as you save a bundle over mall prices.

This Sunday I met a great gal, Officer Traci Allen of LAPD’s Central District. Traci was the only law today in anyone’s sight. Allen knows her beat well along with all the usual suspects. She was both delightful to talk to and no shrinking violet as a lawman. Yes, I said lawman because I will never recognize this job as gender neutral. It’s a man’s job some exceptional women can do.

Officer Allen has our 12th District boys and girls beat. She’s never had to do traffic control for snow removal. Allen seems to fight crime in a sort of cat and mouse way. The sellers of pirated films display their wares on the sidewalk keeping an eye out for the heat. When Allen is close enough to see much of anything, the pirates scoot away leaving their abandoned booty behind. Allen bags the goods for later reports and evidence inventory procedures. There are lots of uniformed security guards around that look out for Officer Allen.

My friemd Raj Singh and I did a little shopping amd I captured the sights for a YouTube moment.

Here’s a short video that contains a special message from officer Allen for the fine Chicago officers of 012.

Moe The Chimp Is On The Lam!

DEVORE, CA—Orphaned when poachers killed his mother Moe was adopted by humans as a child. Moe was raised by his proud parents, St. James and LaDonna Davis of West Covina. Little Moe had a great life until government got involved. Moe was ordered by a court to serve hard time at the critter sanctuary.

This became an even more dreadful tale because what happened when Moe's mom and dad went to visit Moe in 2005. Some other jealous and angry chimps in the facility escaped their enclosure and horrifically Mauled St. James Davis’ face and genitals.

Yesterday Moe planned and executed a daring jailbreak and is now the subject of an, "All Points Bulletin." Animal control officers and police aided with helicopters are looking for this wrongly incarcerated and heartbroken fugitive critter. Poor little Moe missed the only parents he ever knew. Moe’ future is bleak because he never learned normal survival skills otherwise I’d cheer and yell, “Run Moe run!”

Reducing Gun Violence Through Gun Rights In Chicago

Chicago-Mayor Richard M.Daley is in an emotional crisis because of the Heller case reaffirmation of the right to keep and bear arms. Daley is wrong and of course he thinks I’m wrong. I have a new idea for my own hometown.

Like it or not gun rights are here to stay, even in Chicago. We have a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor with those law-abiding people who need the protection the most and want guns. Nobody hates gun crime and violence more than law-abiding gun owners.

I have said the genocide in Chicago’s ghettos is no different than those bands of cowardly, armed thugs victimizing the unarmed and helpless in Darfur, Africa. A trip through the Cook County Medical Examiner's Morgue tells a sad tale about the truth that the vast majority of violent deaths are African-Americans.

The City of Chicago needs another approach to the entire problem. That needs to begin on Chicago's toughest, segregated African-American neighborhoods. With minimal funding using existing public buildings and churches, I can return to Chicago, start an outreach program to aid with some serious peace keeping.

We can organize these forgotten people into a militia. We begin with recruiting and training those with a valid FOID card right in their own neighborhood. We need to provide free training in safety, marksmanship and the justifiable use of deadly force. Most importantly we need to work out an understanding between Chicago police and the gun owners on a course of conduct during incidents where there is a police presence.

The militia members will learn that just like the police they can defuse a lot of violence without ever firing a shot. The militia will in turn pass on to others what they’ve learned about gun safety and responsibility. The program will rely heavily on the concept of personal responsibility.

We’ve learned that gun permits holders are an exceptionally well behaved segment of society.

Upon completion of training Chicago’s new Chicago Peace Militia will take what they learned and begin a new chapter of cooperation with police. This program offers the only real hope to end the strangle hold that violent street gangs have in these neighborhoods. Later this program can be expanded to every neighborhood.

The goal here is a simple one, we all can agree upon, to reduce violence and protect the children. Someday guns can return to being desired for only hunting and sports shooting. Chicago has nothing to lose and everything to gain working with the only viable choice they have. Government only works when there is a partnership between citizens and government.

The Term, Illegal Guns Does Not Exist In America Anymore

Because of D.C. vs. Heller guns are no longer contraband. Too many politicians considered every gun an illegal gun. Now their dream of see police rounding up guns from American homes is dead. The days of raiding gun collectors and destroying their collections under color of law is over. Now the criminals are the over-zealous public officials that dare to violate gun owner’s civil rights.

Gun control and those decades old gun bans only served to empower and embolden criminals to dominate and victimize the unarmed.

Futile legislative efforts are still moving forward pushed by politicians desperate to force disarmament of the law-abiding despite the Supreme Court’s Heller opinion. The rub is that untold millions more of our tax money will be funding frivolous litigation by government to circumvent the law of the land. Money will always be better spent on police and border enforcement.

The handwringing and emotional reaction by ignorant people who fully expect to see the sky fall because our guns are now solidly protected by the Constitution is sad to watch. I suspect that the recent discussion and attention may have been positive for a percentage of the population.

The sanctioning of gun ownership for the law-abiding in America’s largest and most dangerous cities will disrupt the current total rule by cowardly armed thugs. Respectable neighbors will be able to band together and do what outnumbered and beleaguered cops cant.

For new gun owners there is the much needed training on safety, marksmanship and the laws and liability of the justifiable use of deadly force.

Blinding Big Brother!

Crimefile is a strong privacy advocate. That is an absolutely futile position to take in our surveillance and data mining society. George Orwell was right. Orwell told us long ago in his book, 1984 and that did not slow what was coming one bit.

Americans allow themselves to be tracked and photographed incessantly. It may be that toll road I-Pass gizmo, your constant use of credit cards or that access card your employer or school gave you.

Your own trusted cell phone provider knows all of your secrets. Anonymous pre-paid cell phones help as long as you throw them away regularly. As an investigator with subpoenas I can prove every step you take in an urban environment.

I simply reconcile the collected data information with the surveillance images and I know where you were and just who you were with.

That information should be frightening to any and all Liberty loving Americans. I’d guess there are at least three of us left on the entire planet.

I’m going to share with you just how the beat the cameras. A hat that will hide your identity is all you need. You can make this yourself by taking a hat and mounting a circle of infra-red LEDs on it. The invisible LEDs will blind the cameras. The images above demonstrate just what the cameras will see.

You have to expect to be watched by both overt and covert cameras.

This will not work against long range telephoto lens cameras unless you IR signals are really significant.

Remember to pay only in cash or use cash gift cards.

When Crimefile Met Oprah.

Chicago—It was a cold evening in the early 1970s and I found myself having a conversation with a pretty brunette I had met near the parking garage window at Marina City where I lived. The girl was attending a meeting for, Women in Broadcasting. I envisioned that group as a bunch of wannabe lady broadcasters. Marina City for those who don't know is on the top of this blog page.

The girl I was chatting with saw this chubby Black girl who was quickly walking into the building. There were the friendly waves and greetings and I was introduced to Oprah Winfrey. I was in my 20’s and had that genetic disposition to size up women only for the most basic of functions. Oprah did not make the final cut.

My first impression of this unremarkable Black girl was that she had a face much better suited for radio than TV. She was friendly enough but I could never envision in a million years that Oprah would become one of the richest women in America and most recognized faces.

Timing in life is everything and Oprah rode the crest of the Affirmative Action wave and parlayed everything into a huge empire.

I only talked with Oprah one other time perhaps a few weeks later in the same place. I just shook my head and thought that lady should give up trying to be a broadcaster and get a real job somewhere. Yes folks, I called it wrong.

Chicago Police Gun Registration Enforcement And Personal Liability.

Officers, don’t make this building your new home!

In light of D.C. vs. Heller the renegade mayor has vowed to force officers of the Chicago Police Department to knowingly violate the civil rights of the citizens of Chicago. We know today that the Chicago gun ban is identical to that of the of the District of Columbia which has been invalidated by the nation’s highest court.

Should officers follow their mayor or police superintendant’s unlawful order to violate rights there is a serious question of personal liability of the officers. Remember every officer took an oath to support, defend and protect the U.S. Constitution.

The officers must pose this question to the FOP and at least get a legal opinion from FOP lawyers. The FOP should in turn inform the city that their membership will not take that ride into Civil Rights Hell with any city officials that insist on breaking the law of the land.

This action in and of itself will save Chicago’s taxpayers untold millions of dollars in litigation and lawsuit payout costs. I don’t think there could be criminal charges brought against cops who violate citizen’s civil rights but what guarantees that will never happen? Remember boys and girls in blue that, “I was only following orders” defense did not help the Nazis that were hanged in Nuremberg. It won't work here either.

In the meanwhile look for Alderman Ed Burke to send a king’s ransom to an outside, campaign contribution friendly law firm. They will in turn submit wildly inflated bills that will generate additional tax hikes of a near bankrupt city as they pretend they can win the fight they will lose. It’s business as usual for an incredibly corrupt city.

Ramifications Of The Heller Case RE: Assault Weapons And Such.

Several states have laws or pending legislation similar to or identical to the expired federal so-called, assault weapons ban.

USA vs. Miller made it clear that weapons used by the military were and are protected subject to the now defrocked, Militia Collective Right Theory we’ve lived under for 70 years.

The Court in D.C vs. Heller avoided defining constitutionally protected weapons other than to say that, It protects handguns and other weapons "in common use." The court suggested that dangerous or unusual weapons may not be protected and sidestepped saying just what those were.

In order for the gun control lobby to press their case for the assault weapons ban they told any congressman or legislators that would listen that these assault weapons were absolutely everywhere. That makes the case that the temporarily banned scary looking black semi-automatic rifles and pistols with large capacity magazines were and still are, in common use.

On its face the Heller case seems to enjoin federal, state and local governments from at banning or re-banning these weapons currently legal in most states.

My informed guess is the laws of California against weapons of common usage like large capacity rifles and .50 caliber weapons are unconstitutional under Heller.

Wilmette, IL Suspends Gun Ban Enforcement For Heller Decision

WILMETTE, Ill. – Despite this upscale village’s low crime rate, the Liberals that control the town enacted a D.C. and Chicago style handgun ban. The move was symbolic and ignored by many of the residents who simply kept their handguns out-of-sight. The law survived for nearly two decades until till a burglar turned home invader was shot in the act by a man, Hale Demar protecting his family.

Demar was initially charged but the matter was quietly dropped after nationwide publicity brought unwanted attention to Wilmette’s political stand on gun ownership.

Today Wilmette officials announced that rather than risk expensive and futile litigation they will suspend any enforcement of the handgun ban pending further review by the Village Board.

This is a wise decision by the officials of a town where gun ownership or gun crime has always been nearly non-existent.

The only downside of this will be unsafe working conditions for burglars that target expensive homes in Wilmette.

I have to say I respect Wilmette’s Village Board for doing the right thing and honoring their oaths to support, protect and defend the Constitution of The United States despite differing opinions on gun rights.

YouTube Helps Expose Politician’s Lies

Barack Obama never met a gun ban he didn’t love. He supported both the D.C. and Chicago bans and voted for every restriction he could while in the Illinois General Assembly and the United States Senate.

After Obama’s out-of-step remarks about bitter voters clinging to religion and guns he learned his gun-rights hating agenda was a real campaign liability. Obama is singing a much softer tune especially after the Supreme Court Gun Ban Smackdown.

YouTube is great for educating voters and punishing deceptive politicians.

Chicago’s Lawless Little Mayor

Chicago—Not since the day the late, former Alabama Governor, George Wallace personally blocked the doors of the University of Alabama has an elected official so outrageously violated people’s civil rights. Wallace used his own body to prevent two young African-American students, Vivian Malone and James Hood from enrolling in that tax supported school. Today Mayor Richard M. Daley has placed himself above the law of the land in his continued effort to support the genocide going on in the Windy City.

Chicago’s little mayor has vowed to ignore the ruling of the nation’s highest court and continue causing the arrest of law-abiding Chicagoans who lawfully possess handguns in their homes for needed self-defense.

In order to fight this Mayor Daley will award millions of dollars of taxpayer money to outside lawyers to fight off the litigation that began yesterday. We all know the law firms receiving the cash know how to generate giant kickbacks in the form of campaign contribution to keep the ethically challenged mayor in office.

Call Mayor Daley at 312- 744-3300 and tell him not to waste your hard earned tax money on a fight he cannot win. Tell Daley that he is violating his oath of office and the civil rights of the people of Chicago. Tell Mayor Daley to stop the genocide in Chicago’s ghettos by allowing the law-abiding African-Americans the human and now well-defined civil right to self-defense.

Watch the outlaw mayor rant and rave right here.

The Time is Right For Nationwide Concealed Carry

Gun rights advocates like me have long taken the position that any law regulating, registering or the carrying of firearms is unconstitutional. We were waiting many decades for an answer from the Supreme Court.

We got an answer today. In a narrow 5-4 spread we got an almost absolute right to keep common guns in our homes. Today we have a right to keep, but not bear arms. We wanted better, but could have gotten the status quo or something much worse. I don’t expect another gun ruling from the Supreme Court in my lifetime.

Our only avenue for improvement is a political one. We can let out politicians know where we stand and demand even more freedom and protection from criminals. In 1994 after Congress passed the now expired assault weapons ban we taught many of them a lesson they will not soon forget. We were able to turn out many long career gun-rights hating politicians.


With this ruling and a new attitude we can end many registrations schemes that all convicted felons have been exempted by two earlier Supreme Court opinions. We can get nationwide concealed carry with just a little more effort.

The Liberal dream of sending cops into homes confiscating firearms is dead but for a government overthrow or successful invasion from another nation or group of nations.

African –Americans are complaining about Genocide that’s going on in Darfur while they ignore the same slaughter in their own neighborhood. In Chicago’s ghetto roving bands of heavily armed thugs, rob rape, extort and murder unarmed peaceable people. The story is the same in both places. The unarmed die and the armed have a fighting chance to live.

American gun control is as racist today as it was when the Supreme Court went the wrong way with Dread Scott because they were afraid newly freed slaves would have gun rights under the Second Amendment.

Many of us are safe in our homes but we are no so safe on public streets. Americans need to bear arms not just keep them.

Join the NRA and or your state rifle organization. The Second Amendment Foundation and the Jews for the Preservation for Firearms Ownership also do good work for us. For Gay gun owners there’s even the Pink Pistols.

Belong to one of these outfits and press on for the right of every law-abiding American to have nationwide access to concealed carry.

Dealing With A Gun Ban In Your Own City In Light Of The Heller Case.

Mayor Richard M. Daley has declared himself above the law of the land. He now insists in violating the oath he took to support, defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. Daley has become an outlaw.

In order to protect your rights should you be in possession of a banned handgun. Go at once with a witness to your local city hall (don’t bring your gun!) Ask and demand that they allow you to keep and register your gun or guns. Follow up with a registered and receipted letter demanding the same.

Should you be arrested after that for possession or failure to register you have proof that you tried to comply with registration laws but were refused.

No court will be able to convict anyone of mere possession of a handgun ever again. The practice that Chicago has of confiscation and destruction of your gun even if you’re found not guilty is also illegal.

Thanks to the kind folks at Galco Leather for the use of their Lady Liberty Image!
