A short primer on the importance of our Second Amendment rights

Joe Biden’s had a lot on his plate. First, he erased America’s immigration laws by order government employees not to enforce them. Then he destroyed the economy by attacking the oil and gas that are essential for modern life. After that, he sowed some racial discord. Next, he insulted our only ally in the Middle East while sucking up to “Death to America” Iran.

On Thursday, the New York Times bent its efforts to the task via a Gail Collins column that starts to “nag” Biden about gun control:

You may be wondering how we’re doing on gun control.

Joe Biden promised to tackle it on “my first day in office,” which he didn’t. You can appreciate that he’s rather distracted. But absolutely no reason we shouldn’t start to nag.https://t.co/SaHJ2kQtLJ

That’s not cute. It’s scary.

For that reason, here’s a very short primer explaining why Americans cannot allow the federal government to seize their guns, to set up the framework for seizing their guns at some time in the future, or to otherwise limit their existing Second Amendment rights:

One: Without the Second Amendment, there is no Bill of Rights. As we’re learning, the Bill of Rights is a leash on the government and has meaning only if the government accepts that leash. If it throws off the leash and flexes its police power, the only recourse is to yield or fight

Incidentally, let me be clear: We have not reached the physical fighting point. Thankfully, we are still a civil society with multiple civil, legal, and non-violent means for asserting our rights. Resisting now through these lawful mechanisms will ensure continued peace in America. Still, an armed society is a society respected by its own government.

All red states need to establish 2nd amendment sanctuary laws like Texas is planning.

The ONLY recourse is to fight.

Establishing the importance of the 2nd Amendment is actually very easy. Simply put,the more vigorously "leaders" attempt to deny ordinary,law abiding,citizens access to firearms the more important it is that such people have that access.

I can't speak for anyone else but *I* have a firearm *simply* because Rat Party Headquarters,and their flunkies,don't want me to have one.

I want *every single* "public servant",be he elected,appointed or civil service,to have at the back of his mind the fact that we,the "little people",are not helpless in the face of being denied our basic,God given,rights and freedoms.

It's no more complicated than that.

Wrong.

Sort of related incident. Yesterday I was waiting to collect a relative after a doctor visit. When she didn’t show up, I went into the office. I always carry. If the sign says, NO GUNS, to me it reads, “Active Shooters Wanted.” So, I carry there too. I have a small frame nine in a pocket sleeve to cover the shape and keep it from interacting with anything else.

I was wearing slacks, which clearly showed the shape of anything large in my pockets. The unusually alert and observant young man playing Covid mask and temperature guard spotted the gun instantly and reacted with horror. I could see how it upset him so I stopped just short of entering and asked him to find my relative. He hopped up and came back with a status report. As I turned, I could see the relief on his face.

Since fully 95% of active shootings take place in no gun zones, you’d think they would be illegal. Eventually, because of liability, they will probably will go away, because a good lawsuit will assign the no gun policy the blame for actual deaths.

Dang..... for a moment there, thought primers were back in stock.

You really need to read the 1982 Senate report on the 2nd Amendment. I have a paper copy. It is now out of print and highly suppressed.

https://guncite.com/journals/senrpt/senrpt.html

“The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.”

We have no Constitution, except as a relic in a glass case.

They put an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in office in direct violation of that Constitution.

Now they have rigged the election to get rid of our President who was securing the border and restoring the rule of law and installed another ineligible as VP.

When NO ONE will uphold it, the Constitution is myth.

Thanks for the link.

Your aforementioned senate paper clearly outlines the right to bear arms and prohibitions against denying that right.

You might want to consider posting that paper in chat so people can download it for reference and analysis.

Militias? Start your own with a couple of people. Problem solved.

Incidentally, let me be clear: We have not reached the physical fighting point.

Maybe not just yet, but it is time to prepare by picking your targets, those who GIVE THE ORDERS and learning how to access them.
