Some 2nd amendment thoughts.
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way - everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want - which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peace time life for its inhabitants -everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear - which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor - anywhere in the world.
It is not only our right to have arms, it is our duty to be ready to defend ourselves and our country.
As you read, compare the thought processes exhibited by these individuals with what you hear from many "politicians" and so-called experts and historians today. I think the founders got it right. The first amendment enumerates some "basic" rights; the second amendment establishes the means by which we may defend those rights; the teeth, if you will.
To the latter day statists/experts, our Constitution and Bill of Rights are a nuisance to be overcome. Gramsciian incrementalism appears to be their M.O. They are hard at work in EVERY institution in our country. We have all been cowed in no small part by a compliant media ready, willing, and very capable of carrying the message.
