AZ Assault Rifle-Wielding Man And Gun-Toter In NH Belong To Same Right-Wing Group

Chris Broughton, the man who brought an assault rifle to an Obama event in Arizona earlier this week, and William Kostric, who protested outside a presidential forum in New Hampshire armed with a handgun last week, are both listed as "team members" of the Arizona chapter of the We The People organization.

The group is committed to "restoring Freedom and Constitutional Order through the exercise of popular sovereignty by all possible non-violent means."

Kostric, whose residence on the chapter page is listed as Scottsdale, AZ, has reportedly moved to New Hampshire because he thought Arizona's gun laws were becoming too strict.

Broughton, whose full name was reported today by the Arizona Republic, told the newspaper he "wasn't seeking a personal spotlight by arming himself and strolling through crowds of Obama supporters." ... http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/report_az_assault_rifle-wielding_man_and_nh_gun_to.php

1. These folks are radical states rights proponents.

They don't believe in social contract theory or
that the Federal Government constitutes a
sovereign power.

Sovereignty lies with the individual according
to the principle of Devolved Popular Sovereignty

One of the principle writers on this topic is
John F. Knutsen an alumnus of MIT and the author
of several articles on the subject.

His writings can be found on www.basiclaw.net

A short essay on Popular Sovereignty can be found
