Manipulating the context of the Constitution to meet a present political goal is a common and dangerous reality.

An intelligent, young (26-ish) Conservative Woman that I've recently found. I hope you enjoy her as much as I have come to.

Gov’t has definitions for everything but “infringement.”

"She grew up in northern Wisconsin and is a former collegiate hockey player"

Well there you go...

Does her record include any high sticking?

[TADSLOS]

The power of the people lies with those who abide by the rule of law, armed and ready to protect the innocent and the oppressed. No man, no party, no government has the authority to intervene on a vital tool of self-governance. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

...and now, our so called “lawmakers” are more than willing to cast aside our most critical God given right to ensure self governance in the name of security.

What happened the first time our rulers tried take our guns away from us?

“I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence …

I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy.” - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

I have heard of her in the past couple of months. She truly is a breath of fresh air. Obviously, she was raised right.

The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to enable Americans to shoot governemnt agents who try to arrest or kill them for thought crimes and to defend their property and persons.

Americans will not hand over their guns. If these leftist fools want a civil war then patriotic Americans are the ones to give it to them - and hard.

Note to add that she (Alyssa R. Ahlgren) is from MINNESODA of all places!!

That is on the verge of being miraculous!!

PS: We know that the Toothbrush was invented in Minnesoda. Anywhere else, it would be called a Teethbrush.

It seems to me that someone needs to write a “militia guidebook”, a book of principles for the armed citizen.

This is not as easy as it might sound. It isn’t just about individual rights and responsibilities in society, but how a group of armed citizens should behave, their rules and etiquette individually and as a group.

It also needs to recognize their relations with LEOs and military personnel, especially when to cede authority.

There are lots of ins and outs to this: County Sheriff posses, “hue and cry”, states of emergency and disasters, public health emergencies (quarantines), how to deal with looters and other criminals, etc.

Government and the left absolutely hate the term “shall not be infringed”.

[elteemike]

Such excellence in writing is rare these days...Thanks for posting...

” The Second Amendment Is Our First Line of Defense”

Especially against tyranny of government.

[going hot]

Does not say, "we,the government, give you this right."

It simply says, the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Simple, eloquent, pithy, and straight to the heart.

The purpose?

Being necessary for the security of a free state.

[justme4now]

The vast majority of people who believe that the government has the right to regulate gun ownership by passing new laws ... have a poor understanding of our Constitution!

Most of the arguments about the Second Amendment ... made by both sides, revolve around a single assumption - that the Second Amendment grants a citizen the right to bear arms.

What both sides fail to understand is that the Second Amendment grants no such right, in fact, the Constitution grants no rights at all!

What the Constitution does do is identify what powers the people grant to the government.

This is the whole purpose of the Constitution - to tell the government what it can and cannot do, our Constitution is a limit on government.

That is why Marxists, Socialist, Progressive Democrats, et al. have such a disdain for our Constitution .. it is a limitation on Government not a limitation on We The People.

Read the Second Amendment closely.

Nowhere does it state that the people have a right to bear arms but rather that the government cannot infringe on that right.

The framers of our Constitution believed that our right to bear arms is a natural right , not a right to be given to us by government.

As for single or multi-shot firearms ... They had repeaters long before the 2nd was adopted.

Heck, they had what some even called machine guns in the 16th and 17th century.

I created the following, Really Short two pages on the 2nd amendment and the myth of only having muskets during the writings of the 2nd.

There are no ads or popups on the pages and it will take all of 2 minutes to read through them.

(Pay particular attention to what Noah Webster had to say about the 'militia')

2ND AMENDMENT

[GTM01]

As long as we have the 2nd Amendment AS IT IS, this country will NEVER be invaded by a foreign power. If we ever give it up we will become vulnerable.
