Concur. The irrational bed-wetters are delusional about the absolute right of self-defense and its companion right to keep and bear arms. They will never learn. The tin Hitlers know exactly what they are doing trying to disarm The People. They will always oppose anything enabling We The People to enforce our sovereignty.
The United States is in desperate need of a new Second Amendment, one that recognizes the fundamentally different views people today have about guns, their role in society, and our rights as citizens.
No we aren't. The gun-grabbers are flat out wrong. What the United States is in desperate need of is to publicly and continuously slap down gun-grabbers until they are too humiliated to voice their worthless opinions. Further, we need to take decisive legal action against all levels of politicians who infringe the right of The People to keep and bear arms.
When the Founders first wrote and passed what we know call the Second Amendment, they viewed the Constitution in an entirely different way than most people do today. Originally, the U.S. Constitution was, for the most part, only understood to govern the relationship between Americans and their federal government. The Bill of Rights was largely meant to protect the states and the people from an out-of-control centralized power in the nation’s capital. Most laws were passed at the state and local levels, and state constitutions determined the limits of those laws, including gun laws.>/I>
Nonsense! The right to keep and bear arms was spelled out in the Constitution as an exclusive right of The People. It was not an enumerated power granted the federal government nor even one reserved to the several states. It was reserved specifically by and to The People. No level of government in the United States has ever been granted the authority to regulate "arms" of The People. All provisions doing so are unconstitutional operating under the color of law.
The Second Amendment is as valid today as the day it was ratified. It was written specifically for times such as these, when we have bed-wetters, tin dictators, and mushy headed "thinkers" all attempting to destroy the sovereignty of The People by disarming them.
This is a fundamental issue. Either ultimate power resides with The People, or we are nothing but subjects wholly owned by those with power.
Well, at least there are two of us on the same page. I’ll be in my fighting hole one over from you.
