It is a “Bill of Rights” for PEOPLE — not militias, not governments. People.

It really is that simple.

ESAD Libtards!

One more reference for LIBERTY:

LIBERTY lib'-er-ti (deror, rachabh; eleutheria):

The opposite of servitude or bondage,
hence, applicable to captives or slaves set free from oppression (thus deror, Leviticus 25:10; Isaiah 61:1, etc.).
Morally, the power which enslaves is sin (John 8:34),
and liberty consists,
not simply in external freedom, or in possession of the formal power of choice,
but in deliverance from the darkening of the mind, the tyranny of sinful lusts and the enthrallment of the will, induced by a morally corrupt state.
In a positive respect, it consists in the possession of holiness, with the will and ability to do what is right and good.
Such liberty is possible only in a renewed condition of soul, and cannot exist apart from godliness.
Even under the Old Testament godly men could boast of a measure of such liberty (Psalms 119:45, rachabh, "room," "breadth"),
but it is the gospel of Christ which bestows it in its fullness,
in giving a full and clear knowledge of God, discovering the way of forgiveness, supplying the highest motives to holiness
and giving the Holy Spirit to destroy the power of sin and to quicken to righteousness.
In implanting a new life in the soul, the gospel lifts the believer out of the sphere of external law, and gives him a sense of freedom in his new filial relation to God.
Hence, the New Testament expressions about "the glorious liberty" of God's children (Romans 8:21 the King James Version;
compare Galatians 2:4; 5:13, etc.), about liberty as resulting from the possession of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17),
about "the perfect law of liberty" (James 1:25).
The instrument through which this liberty is imparted is "the truth" (John 8:32).
Christians are earnestly warned not to presume upon, or abuse their liberty in Christ (Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2:16).

Wow.

After reading the article, all I can say is, um, Bruce is kind of a dope.

[Little Ray]

Heck, IMHO, we ought to start drilling kids in elementary school.

Here’s a cheat code: whenever the Constitution says “the right of the people,” it means the same thing.

Exactly.

Funny. The author obviously considers himself to be an intellectual, possessed with great wisdom that must be shared with us who are less fortunate.

But never read or at least does not understand the writings of our founders.

George Mason, co-writer of the 2Nd Amendment, for one.

Moonbat Logic 101:

Not enforcing unconstitutional laws on gun restrictions put in place by executive order is bad.

Enforcing constitutional laws regarding illegal immigration put in order by the constitution, congress, and upheld in the supreme court is also bad.

Their hypocricy knows no bounds.

The trouble is, the Second Amendment is notoriously confusing.

No. It isn't. It only gets confusing for anti-gun hacks trying to weasel their way around what it says.

The Tea Party is of the people and doesn’t need outside funding, just like the PTA. the Rotary, the Masons, the Lions, etc. don’t need it. Surely someone inside the Tea Party has land to train on, field manuals from Army surplus stores, etc.
