Have you noticed how the past 10 years or so, the Second
Amendment continues to get assailed. Most recently because of the outbreak of
mass shootings from just plain mentally ill people or “home grown terrorism.”
One must pay very close attention to where the commas
fall in the wording of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution – the second
most-important part of your unalienable
rights as guaranteed in the Bill of Rights:
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."
Notice that it’s all one phrase between the commas
guaranteeing “…, the right of the people to keep and
bear Arms.” That’s you and me as in “We
the people” as established in the Constitution’s Preamble.as the authors,
benefactors and recipients of the rights laid out therein.
And, have you noticed? - slowly but surely and steadily
they’re being hemmed in and taken away from us. An over-arching and
overly-strong federal government restricting and taking away those very same
rights were what the Declaration of Independence and America’s subsequent War
For Independence and the later entire body of the Constitution document was all
about – nay, is still all about.
And it was to absolutely guarantee those inalienable rights
that the whole Bill of Rights to that Constitution was ratified and attached to
it was all about – and is still all
about.
But, our government has been willing to throw away our
individual liberties more and more as liberalism/progressivism – nay, Communism
by another name! – has more and more infected this once-great nation. And many
of her citizens have been clamoring for this in hopes (or guise) of obtaining
more security – in our schools, our shopping malls, our nightclubs and churches
thereby embodying Benjamin Franklin’s famous words that “Those who would give
up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither
liberty nor safety.”
And this very same government actively pursuing as well
as being pressured to enact stricter and stricter gun laws (like don’t we
already have laws against murdering
people?) is the same federal govt that has blown it on entering the necessary
information from some of their own
investigations of these later-to-be-murderers that would’ve kept them from
being able to legally purchase a firearm in the first place. And, oh yes; they
want to watch law-abiding legal citizens of this country like you and me far
more closely and deny us more and more right to self-protection.
Wake up, America - while there's still time!
Wake up, America - while there's still time!
