As a criminal defense attorney in the U.S., I represent
people charged with illegal possession, carrying, or ownership of guns and
other laws that violate Second Amendment rights. As I write this, I
am in London, where guns are essentially banned. The Libertarian Alliance
(LA) has invited me to speak and I begin by fondly recalling their historic
influence, even decades ago when I first joined the libertarian movement.
I speak about gun rights in the U.S. and discuss the LA's efforts to end
the U.K.’s status as a victim disarmament zone. I advocate repeal
of gun laws to reverse the authoritarian trend in the U.S.
Gun cases have also resulted in appellate cases for
me, and I discuss those cases and the related statutes. Here are some: LAWYERS,
GUNS (& MONEY) - gun returned after illegal carry
charge is defeated. http://rexcurry.net/gunbeeson.html

I display some of my graphic art, including even bumper
stickers that relate to gun rights. GUN BUMPER STICKERS http://rexcurry.net/gunsbumpers.html
Then I touch on some of the ideas in these articles: PLANES,
GUNS, SEARCHES (& 9-11) - expanding the right to
keep & carry arms. http://rexcurry.net/gunbrunstein.html

Finally, I wrap it up the way I usually do, with my famous
gun "poem" because it always breaks the house up:
First they came for the machine guns, and I didn’t speak
up because I had no machine guns.
Then they came for the “assault weapons,” and I didn't
speak up because I had no assault weapons.
Then they came for the rifles, and I didn't speak up
because I had no rifles.
Then they came for the handguns, and I didn't speak
up because I had no handguns.
Finally, they came for my double-barreled shotgun, and
I only managed to kill two of them.
(Before they mowed me down with their machine guns, assault
weapons, rifles and handguns)
(while I was trying to reload).
