And Bakers in general
The Global "The Dick Act of 1902 - Gun control is forbidden" link contains false information.
I am asking you to remove the link from the Globals.
Yesterday I researched this issue and posted my findings and analysis here >>12842635 (PB) but erred by prematurely posting without including the source document. I did follow up immediately with a 2nd post here >>12842657 (PB) in which I posted the sauce.
The sauce is a color photocopy of the Act and commentary from the Library of Congress, which I am putting here: https://www.loc.gov/resource/rbc0001.2012yapam90993/?sp=20
The Dick Act does NOT forbid gun control. It does NOT allow for "unorganized militia" to buy and own whatever weapons and ammo they want to, in whatever quantities. None of that language is found in the Dick Act. The ONLY thing that this Global gets right is, it sets out there is the Regular Army, the organized militia in the form of the National Guard, and the Enrolled Militia which is every able-bodied American male (and aliens intending to become US citizens) between the ages of 18-45 years. That, quite literally, is the only part of this Global that is correct.
The rest of it is grossly false and misleading. The existing Global contains only a sliver of correct factual information and uses that to wrap around bullshit opinion, and is poorly sauced to boot.
I appreciate you hearing me out. I'm not attacking any Baker in asking this, I am simply asking you to look at the Act itself and determine that this Global is fake and shouldn't be there.
