OUR SECOND AMENDMENT

What is it about this Amendment that people do not understand?

Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Actually I know. It is a little confusing for two reasons.

First it was written at a time when people were real and personal freedoms were real and people were not yet spoiled and taking their Rights for granted.

Everyone seems to think this Amendment pertains to the right to posses a firearm. It doesn’t. You have to understand that at that time EVERYONE owned a firearm of some type as a normal course of daily life.
It could not have even been imagined at that time in this country that a person wouldn’t have a firearm much less not been allowed to own one.
There were no police or grocery stores back then. People had firearms to protect themselves against Indians and to hunt for food. The very idea that a person couldn’t possess a firearm would have been as foreign to them as the space shuttle.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state didn’t mean as protection against a foreign enemy either. No, the Right of the people to keep and bear arms means that the founding fathers meant for the people to have the right to stand up against their own government if needed and to have the means to change the government if necessary.

The authors of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights left England in order to escape an oppressive government under a tyrannical ruler. They certainly were not going to allow the government they left behind in England to replicate itself here in the new world!
The whole reason that arms need to stay in the homes and hands of the citizens is because anywhere else such as an armory would be under government control and then would not be accessible if needed.

I think ochman’s razor applies here, the simplest answer is correct. When you read the second half of the Amendment; the Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. It’s simple, stop trying to make it say something it doesn’t! The Right, the right, the right of the people, okay , this doesn’t mean the right of the asshole lawyers or the right of the smart ass lazy, big mouth politicians or the whining little pussies that are afraid of guns or even the Nazi storm trooper cops that don’t want any body to have a gun except them. It means the right of the people, ordinary, everyday Joe citizen. You and me. That is what it means. Only in this way can the people keep the government from getting too powerful and resting control from the people.

Also the word infringed is important here. Infringe means to transgress or to encroach on, in other words it means the slightest little bit of. Okay do you understand, it doesn’t mean that the government just cannot disallow ownership but rather that the government cannot even think about it. Infringe is a much less strict word and it is used here purposely for that reason.

I mentioned there being two reasons why people have a problem with this Amendment, the second reason is simply that people take our way of life and our freedoms for granted these days. They want to be taken care of and to that end are willing to allow the government to run their everyday lives. Many people are under the false assumption that no guns means no gun violence.

In the news this week is the Supreme Court hearing the case against Washington D.C.’s gun ban which prompted this writing. To understand that no guns does not mean no gun violence one only needs to look at Washington D.C. It has had the strongest gun laws in the country and it also has one of the highest crime rates involving guns.

When a person commits a crime with a gun, they go to jail and get free room and board, free education, free exercise and gymnasium privileges and free television. They get taken care of and they do not have to work for a living which is what they wanted when they committed the crime. The people on the other hand now have to defend their right to own guns simply because it’s easier for the system to take guns away from good guys then bad guys.

Many police officers would also like to take guns out of the hands of citizens because they’re lazy, chicken-shits that like the criminals, also do not want to work for a living.
Boohoo, wah, wah, wah poor little chicken-shit cops are afraid to go to work because someone might shoot their ass!
Too fucking bad! If you don’t like it then go work at McDonalds! No one says anyone has to be a cop. I have much admiration for those police officers that take their oaths to uphold the law and to protect and serve the citizens seriously. I have nothing but contempt for the cops and judges that put themselves above everyone else and forget who they’re working for.

Our country today is not at all like the one I grew up in and continues to change for the worse everyday.
If we the people lose our right to keep and bear arms against our government it will cease to be our government and America will join the ranks of the oppressed countries of the world.

Thomas Jefferson -

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing”

Where are you when circumstance demands that a new revolution is justified to save the purpose of the original nation?

We can only hope that the Supreme Court Justices hearing the case on gun bans haven’t been completely infected by the left leaning, liberal, bleeding heart mentality of the fricken democrat queers!
