The Second Amendment What the government is afraid of

 

They were average American citizens. Butchers, Bakers, Storekeepers and Farmers.

 

 

Our freedom is in danger from within

 

Our forefathers knew that politicians sometime in the future would try to eliminate elections, individual rights, and consolidate their power. They knew that these arrogant individuals would not want to give up their power and prestige. They knew that if the people did not closely watch the elite in the political arena, America would lose its freedom. Therefore, Congress in it’s infinite wisdom added the 2^nd Amendment to the Constitution to hopefully insure the freedom of the people in the future.

What they didn’t count on was that corruption in Washington, State and local government would become so severe that the Constitution itself would be in jeopardy of being abolished. The only thing that is slowing them down and keeping politicians in check is the 2^nd Amendment right of the individual citizens to bear arms. No country and its people can be completely subjugated as long as they have the right to be armed against tyranny. Washington knows this too well. Local politicians know this too well. That is why there has been a grass roots effort to regulate and control firearms in this country since after the Constitution was ratified. Politicians have been slowly trying to eliminate firearms from our society from that day on.

Knowing they would never be able to get enough votes to override the 2^nd amendment, they decided that they would try regulating ownership instead. So they started by gun control laws on the local level. First it was totally racist. After the Civil War they didn’t want the newly freed blacks to own weapons so they created gun control laws requiring persons to get permits to have guns. Well you know no blacks would ever be allowed to get a permit. Soon politicians in the state and local authority realized this was a great way to eliminate guns from all their citizens. This way they had complete control of their constituents. Needless to say, most citizens didn’t report or register their existing weapons so those laws were useless. This did not discourage them. They continued to get many laws passed throughout the country regulating firearms. However, America is an armed society. They couldn’t get total backing from their colleagues and other officials. So they never were able to totally ban firearms.

Americans should have never allowed any of this to happen. This right to bear arms is not a government negotiable right. It is not for the military and police alone. It is specific that all citizens of the country have the right to bear (carry) arms. No time limits. No location restrictions. No concealed or exposed rule. No state or local approvals necessary. This is a United States of America citizen’s right. “not to be infringed”. The arrogant elite doesn’t think the American people are competent or responsible enough to have a weapon. They think we should be totally dependent on them and the police to protect us. They don’t think you have the right to protect your family and home.

Our government is becoming dangerous with their determination to ban firearms. The United States Attorney General along with possibly the President has gone so far as to break the Federal firearms laws to get public sympathy toward more gun control. Recently they deliberately forced border gun stores to sell assault weapons to the Mexican drug cartels in the guise of “tracking them”. Their objective was to locate these guns in cartel hands and publicly make it known that they came from the US. Hoping to get the people outraged and primed to further gun bans. Unfortunately, they lost track of the guns. As a result hundreds of Mexican citizens were killed by these same weapons along with an American border agent. So they tried to blame the gun stores. However, some of their own agents blew the whistle on them and told the truth about what happened. Our State Department is in the process of negotiating with the United Nations to support an international ban on guns and ammunition. If ratified by the U.S. this will place the United States citizen’s right to bear arms under the control of the United Nations. This will be in violation of our sovereignty as well as our Constitution. There is nothing this administration won’t do, or how low they will stoop to forward their agenda.

The funny part of all this anti-gun rhetoric is that it is totally unfounded. Every city in the US that has strict gun control laws are known to have the worse records of crimes involving guns. Evidence shows that gun control doesn’t work. Instead the law- abiding citizen has been disarmed and the criminals are the ones with the guns. 2009 statistics for violent crime showed that states like New York and Illinois, with the toughest gun control laws have the higher violent crime rates then others with reasonable gun regulations. Ref; www.cityrating.com. Although this doesn’t specify the use of a gun vs hammer, I believe we can safely say most of the crime statistics were the result of a firearm and not a hammer. Not to mention, if the victim had a gun there may have not been a violent crime committed upon them.

 

In conclusion, if we continue to allow our present administration and politicians to erode our 2^nd Amendment right to bear arms, next will be the 1^st Amendment and then the Constitution itself. We must fight to keep our freedom from tyranny. If we don’t rise up and voice our outrage with this government we risk all our freedoms. It is our responsibility to keep America free for the next generation.
