I trust that the majority of Americans love liberty and will uphold the Constitution. In fact many recent polls show very strong support for the 2A. That is NOT the point.
Should someone in New York State come to the attention of the authorities and they move on him with force to arrest him for the crime of having a single magazine with excess capacity, and he pulls a molon labe, killing a decorated State Trooper who leaves behind a wife and two sweet children (here see how sweet this now ravished family looks?) what is the liberal media going to do with that story.
The point is that the public has no option but to support existing government. Calling for a Constitutional Convention gives the public an option they didn’t have before- and do you think the public is going to take an option that decreases liberty or one that increases it?
Do you think the public is going to vote to give the Hitlers of our time more power or to take power away from them? Well, look at how the voters in quite a few states voted with respect to ObamaCare. Zero voters have voted for it, and many have voted to forbid their states to allow it.
I think we have the means to redefine the federal government if only we would take the effort to explain the need. Let the David Gregorys of the world tell the public why government needs more power and has not abused the power we have given it. Let us have that public debate.
Here is a question for you: What rights can we lose that are not already in danger? With a million people in Florida and 3/4 of a million in Texas who have CCW permits, are voters going to repeal the 2A? How many state legislatures are going to vote to ratify a new Constitution that lacks a 2A?
I support no government which will defy the current in place Constitution and Bill of Rights. If that means I do not currently support the government in place in our nation at this time, then so be it. You bring up interesting points, and it all boils down to who do you trust. That trust must be place in the people, one cannot trust government or its known arm called a media, nor a CC to keep the People's Rights in place. People must rely on themselves. People have to do the right things for throughout history governments seldom, if ever do. So who do you trust? If you trust the People ... then leave the People's Constitution and the People's Bill of Rights alone. The People are asking to be left alone. Can and will the government comply? History tells us no. Thank God, our Founders knew this day would come, and Thank God they were wise enough to arm us. I do not want to fire at an enemy in front of me, but if I have to make the choice to protect my family, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights I being the dog I am will do what God will grant me the power to do.
I type now from a keyboard. May God grant me that privilege to continue as the Men and Women who fought for this right granted me and if I am acting in God's Will may I pass this right to my children and grandchildren to act to uphold this nation's Constitution and Bill of Rights. In Jesus Name, I pray dear Lord ... Amen
I’ll give you one other clue. To repeal the Second is to repeal every other Right contained within the Bill of Rights, which you and I hold dear. Governments by nature are tyrants. Please remember your history. Do not advocate for a repeat of history. No sane person wants to go there. Be Sane, and Stay Safe. The safety you protect is for your children and grandchildren and countless generation to be born in America. Forget who hates us. They will hate us even if we surrender our firearms. Never trust government or its media arm they will only seek yours and my destruction.
Seems to me that the constitution is not the problem, the problem is the politicians have not followed it for years. Wish we could just wipe the slate clean, all the laws and Supreme Court decisions made since.
FRiend there is a contradiction in this post. I will not point out your contradiction to you for that would be make this lesson too easy. I challenge you to find your contradiction in your post. A teachable moment should you accept this challenge.
