The federal government was created in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity. (Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America.)
Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it. One only has to determine if state or federal government has destroyed any of our rights, both enumerated and un-enumerated.
I would place gun laws at the top of the list of things state and federal governments have used to destroy the right to life. The U.S. Constitution does not prohibit the use of guns to protect one's life, so it must have considered that as one of the un-enumerated rights the people have reserved to themselves to insure the right to life -- knowing it would be impossible, impractical, cost-prohibitive, and plain stupid to provide every Citizen with an armed bodyguard.
In that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights (a continuous document) is the supreme law of the land, any Thing in state constitutions contrary to that document is repugnant and unconstitutional.
Yes, I'm referring specifically to state and federal gun laws which prevent the People from protecting their lives. If you are unable to protect your life, you do not have the RIGHT TO LIFE!
And by the way. Without the right to life, you can kiss your liberty and the pursuit of happiness goodbye.
So let me repeat:
Our governments (federal and state) were instituted by "We the People" to secure our rights, among which are "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." (Declaration of Independence.)
Isn't it time to alter the situation, or should we just sit down and shut up and continue to support the inequities in law which favor the rich and famous by supporting their right to life over the common man who cannot afford a bodyguard -- and further, is even felonized for protecting his own life?
You have some good points there. But there is a problem getting heard. I have found that my biggest problem is getting people to listen and think. All they know is the Socialist-Democrat media. BIG problem.
