FTA: “Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an indivisdual right....”

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! The Second Amendment does NOT create an individual right: It protects an individual right that was already in existence. If the government can create a right by Constitutional fiat, that very same government can take it away. The Second Amendment specifically states that the government can not infringe on the peoples’ right to keep and bear arms; it does not say the government gives them that right. Believe me, the left will use the argument of a government-created right in its attempt to do away with the Second Amendment.

It’s the quote about how Obama “respects” the rights of hunters that jumps out at me, as if the 2nd Amendment was about hunters’ rights or even the rights of people to protect themselves from crime, it isn’t, it’s about the Constitution stating explicitly that free born citizens have the right to shoot government officials who seriously abuse their powers, it’s not about hunting, not about sports, not about crime, it’s about defending a free people from their government if the need arises.

Odd how the President elect isn’t aware of that fact seeing as how he’s a fancy lawyer and all. I suspect some government agents may soon discover to their cost what the Second Amendment is really about in the coming years and it ain’t about hunting.
