We started way before Putin.
Back in 1985 a group of five men sat down and decided to do something about the abuses of power by the Maine State government and the police chiefs of Portland, Biddeford, Windham, Bangor and Augusta concerning the issuing of license to carry concealed weapons. Two years later Mainers who voted, voted overwhelmingly to change the wording of Article one section 16 to read “Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned.” One of the goals of this change was to allow concealed carry with no license required, as is done in Vermont. Folks, how you feel about guns is not the issue. The issue is, does the wording of Article One Section sixteen allow Maine’s Legislature to question and or put limitations on a citizen’s right to bear arms? And if not, are those who do committing perjury?
Folks, if politicians and others who take an oath to support and uphold the Constitution of Maine were held accountable for their votes, there would be no need for two of the other items that came out of that meeting back in 1985, the Maine State Militia and the Maine secession from the Union movement. Two of the greatest documents ever to ensure the freedom of a people are The US Constitution and the Maine State Constitution. Neither are worth the paper they are written on if those who swear to uphold them ignore and in some cases, defecate all over them and cannot be held legally responsible for their actions.
Five me, 1985.
Very cool. I was just jokig about the whole Crimean hysteria.
