“THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS...SHALL...NOT...BE...INFRINGED.”
Pretty easy concept to understand. You, as a “soldier dad” should understand that.
The Constitution says NOTHING about “civilian use”, “sporting use”, or ANY use other than what a firearm is intended for. It does NOT say “the right to keep only the arms WE feel are acceptable.”
It was written for the AGES, not the DAY. And almost EVERY State Constitution has a keep and bear arms clause in it. Look them up. New Jersey is an exception, and the Dems that control Jersey use it to their advantage fanatically, even though they violate the Federal Constitution (read that: BREAK THE LAW OF THE LAND) with impunity.
“Sporting use” came from 1930’s Nazi gun laws which the Dems (the previous Senator Dodd) copied in 1968 (look it up on JPFO.org).
They’re crying about the .50 now; next it’ll be the .30 caliber weapons. Then smaller and smaller. They already have their playbook written.
The way LEOs and Pols view a FREE MAN’s RIGHT to own firearms is critical. They either view you as a SUBJECT or as a Free citizen. They do NOT deserve to hold office if they don’t recognize you as a free citizen with unalienable rights, PERIOD. If they are afraid of YOU, you need to worry about THEM havening ANY power over you.
They are public servants; they work for YOU, and they should be reminded of it at every opportunity. And thrown out of office poste haste if they forget it.
Men DIED for this right; we should not give it up cheaply.
Pretty much puts it in a nutshell.
Bump!
Bump!
Spot on, well said!
