It's time patriots declare Victory in the 2nd Amendment war

Though it’s doubtful anyone will hear much about it, neither lawmakers, judges or even a president has the constitutional authority to infringe upon the inalienable right of the American people to keep and bear arms.

One hundred thirty eight years ago, the Supreme Court wrote that the right to keep and bear arms “…is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.” (1)

The case was the United States v Cruikshank and the Court made it clear that the right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable right, God-given and independent of any mandatory approbation by men or their laws for its force and legitimacy

The Founders were so certain as to the absolute nature of these inalienable rights in the Bill of Rights that Alexander Hamilton suggested in Federalist No. 84 that it was unnecessary even to make them a part of the written Constitution. “For why declare that...

Why would the federal government (or even the state, for that matter) have access to that registration? I can see it as a self policing instrument- & for accountability in the event of rogue behavior (such as that would be in martial conflict).

(I seem to be missing this post on my pings. I’m going to reply to PJ’s other post- which I have, & go back to fill in)

PJ- Good thoughts. I have thought about that, too (ugh. Musing. I would hope to avert that, BUT...) (in that case) would it be better to amass in a more concentrated region? lol No one’s going to agree on this, regionally- I know. Or have concentrated pockets across the country so that the federal government’s resources would be spread out- maybe loosely co-ordinated, but doing their own thing, somewhat. The US would probably be like Afghanistan but much worse (because it’s not so barren)

This is men’s work. I have *no* business in this conversation. 0.o Why is so hot...& what am I doing in this hand basket? Please excuse me...

.
We just watched the cancellation of an entire national election by open electronic vote fraud, and union thuggery.

They’ll do anything they wish, and the GOPe is definitely a part of the crime.

I believe that we rolled right past our last and final opportunity to do anything 21 years ago.

But people didn't take their guns with them to the polls. We're talking about a citizen militia gathering once or twice a year, just as Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers.

Are you suggesting that the federal government will swoop into such a gathering and forcibly confiscate the weapons of the attendees after luring them with the pretext of a constitutional militia inspection?

Or are you suggesting that they'd let the militia gather, and then after they go home the feds would individually visit each attendee and take their weapons later?

Hard to predict exactly what they will do, but obey the constitution is not one of the likely choices.

You have to go by the evidence, and the O-bummah admin has done nothing lawful during its tenure.

Round one hasn’t started yet.

I will agree that when given the choice, Obama has always chosen the most audacious path possible, whether with cabinet nominees or in responding to legislative negotiations.

That said, one would hope that the more outrageous Obama becomes, the more motivated the population will become to push back. I believe that organizing a militia gathering and then surrounding them and confiscating their lawful weapons would be akin to closing off a Warsaw ghetto and criminalizing its residents.

That would be an outrage that would quickly mobilize the rest of the nation.

Agree. Why are we sitting around, griping on the internet again? We need to come up with a solution. No one is going to do it for us.

“I believe that we rolled right past our last and final opportunity to do anything 21 years ago.”

I disagree. Strongly. We’re getting real close, though. I guess I’m one of those 25 million Bill Ayers was talking about. (please pardon me) Screw him! I’ll see him in hell before I’ll give up.
