"Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
- Noah Webster An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, Philadelphia, 1787
Something on this subject was mentioned on another thread.
The poster tied it into the MANDATORY OBAMACARE.
Do you smoke?? Your Obamacare premiums are AUTOMATICALLY HIGHER due to the increased chances of becoming sick.
Overweight?? Higher premiums await you under Obamacare due to the increased risk of health related issues such as diabetes and heart disease.
Here’s the kicker!!
After this “study”.....
Own a FIREARM?? Your premiums will be HIGHER due to your chances of becoming killed or injured due to you owning a firearm vs someone who does not.
This study will PROVE IT, and the gun grabbers will run with it, just like the fines under “cap and tax” that are coming with “excess use” of energy, you (AND YOUR FAMILY) as a “gun owner” will be an “increased health risk” and have higher “health premiums” that THEY will determine.
IMHO, it’s gonna be in the “fine print”.
One way to REALLY get it rolling,(divide and conquer) is to charge your “non-gun owning” neighbors a higher premium because they live next to a “gun owner” and are therefore more likely to become a “victim” in this “study” also........
It should be “interesting”.
The poser messiah is a loser!!
