The 2nd. Amendment: Upon This Rock I Will Build A Republic

The 2nd. Amendment is the cornerstone upon which all of our other freedoms and liberties are protected and reinforced. Without it, the rest are just hollow words with no way of enforcing them except trough legal action which is and will always be violated by those that do not prescribe to the law.

There are only 2 methods to get anyone to take action, reason and force and if you cannot force me to act then you must reason me with your argument. The progressive socialists have been manipulating a segment of the population in this Nation for well over 100 years through their arguments that create an emotional response that forces a controlled reaction that obscures intellectual action. They use the heated moment of emotional response to get their myopic misanthropes to jump and then propagate the discord with a continual barrage of Pavlovian response words that they have ingrained into the modern populace through the media and educational systems they control.

They also understand that they have a very narrow window to motivate this group because after about 3 weeks even the average double digit modern American who redefines the term low information citizen, starts to lose the emotional motivation and moves back towards complacency, more concerned with their daily doldrums and escaping their pitiful existence than staying engaged in their masters rage.

So once you remove the rhetoric that is always flamed by emotion, the progressive socialists hatred of the 2nd. Amendment becomes what is in the first paragraph, the teeth that bite back when you infringe on all of the Bill of Rights.

How can you have freedom of speech, religion or gathering or to redress grievances with government if they do not respect those rights as is evidenced by the attacks of the progressive socialists against all of those freedoms for far too many decades? (yes I know I left out freedom of the press they no longer deserve that freedom because they are complicit in their guilt to deny us ours) How can you keep your property rights and to be free from illegal search and seizure if there is no fear of a force reprisal? How can there be enumerated powers liming the power of government both state and federal and placing that power with their bosses WE THE PEOPLE if they do not fear the reciprocity of that decision or action?

The left wants us unarmed because Conservative America does not respond to their dogma, does not accept their agenda for America, does not jump to their emotional argument. Conservative’s function through fact based logic and reasoning based on that. We read, we watch, we learn, we observe, we gather information from multiple sources and then create our own conclusions based on empirical methodology that leads us to a definitive fact based summation. We do not accept the emotional argument without facts, we do not accept because talking heads say so, we do not blindly agree because media personalities decry, we do not aimlessly accept because entertainers tell us to.

We are very much of the Midwest mindset so eloquently associated with the residents of Missouri SHOW ME!

So if the progressive socialist ruling class in the District of Corruption can’t reason with us which they know they cannot because our core DNA is kryptonite to their rhetoric; then they must force us. And they fear the truth of that action will present the one picture that will perfectly and permanently identify who and what they are and what they really are trying to accomplish with their agenda. The total subjugation of the United States and the end of all ENUMERATED POWERS in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

Now I know that 90% of those that will read this understand the implications and I am proud to say that more than 100 million Americans are now armed. But remember our freedoms and liberties that have already been lost have been removed more by slow erosion than outright ban. The DC socialist progressives know that the last time this was done the Dems paid dearly and lost the house and senate in 1994 midterm elections forcing Clinton to have to paly nice with others and find other activities to occupy his time in office.

We have to constantly remind all elected officials at all level’s of government that not only do elections have consequences but so does defense of our rights and their fidelity to defending those rights as defined by our Founding documents.

I do not hold much faith in the 2 party political system that we now suffer at the hands of as many of you know. Their track record is undeniable and it is anything but pro-liberty or pro-freedom and I will continue to espouse my mantra that IT IS TIME TO END THE TWO PARTY POLITICAL REIGN OF TERROR IN AMERICA!

Again back to the original idea of this writing is the only way you can force action is by reason or force and for 158 years we have reasoned with the 2 party ruling class elites that we have elected; WELL AMERICA HOW’S THAT WORKING FOR YOU?

Gun Rights vs Gun Control – The TRUTH

A Guest blog by Craig Andresen:

The government can’t find 15 million ILLEGAL aliens and to be perfectly honest, they don’t WANT to but, by forcing gun registration…They WILL be able to find every LAW ABIDING gun owner in America. Am I the ONLY one who thinks something is wrong when the government, in an attempt to control people, does nothing about those who BREAK our laws and removes rights from those who ABIDE by the laws???

In the next few days, Joe Biden will submit his report on how to control you to the Emperor. Both he AND the Emperor have made it clear that Imperial Orders may well come into play against you regarding the 2^nd Amendment.

Over the last few weeks, socialists, liberals and their pundits have not missed a single opportunity or microphone in their quest to demean and dismiss you, the law abiding gun owners of America.

They want you to believe that what they are about to propose or bypass congress to accomplish with regard to eroding your rights is for your safety and…of course…for the children.

Every time they want to remove some of your rights, it’s for the sake of the children.

BULL.

It’s time to make a few things crystal clear and I can assure you, liberals and socialists aren’t going to like this at all because…It’s the TRUTH.

How many times have we all heard a socialist, bent on controlling you by removing your rights, tell anyone within earshot that you don’t need an AR-15 to hunt deer?

Socialists are trying to SHAME you into bowing to their ideology and they HOPE you will be seen as the fool.

Socialists…YOU are playing YOURSELVES for the FOOLS.

The 2^nd Amendment has NOTHING…NOTHING to do with hunting and YOU know it.

If it did, the right to keep and bear arms would ONLY apply during HUNTING SEASON and THAT varies from state to state.

This is NOT your INTERPRETATION of the 2^nd Amendment…It’s your ATTEMPT to ALTER its meaning but, in a major inconvenience to YOU, WE have the words of those who FOUNDED this country to PROVE you wrong.

The 2^nd Amendment was and IS about the right of the PEOPLE to protect themselves, their property and their families from TYRANNY and here is just a SMALL sample of the words of the FRAMERS to make it clear.

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”  – Benjamin Franklin

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.”  -Noah Webster

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”  -  Thomas Jefferson

“… rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our own will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual” -  Thomas Jefferson

The oh-so-pompous left has become quite fond of asking anyone who stands FOR the 2^nd Amendment THIS question:

“Why do you think you NEED an AR-15?”

The proper answer…

“I hope I NEVER need one but, I do have the RIGHT to own one and I would rather HAVE one SHOULD I need it than NEED it and not HAVE one.”

The socialist will then ask you why you WOULD ever need one.

Answer…

“To protect myself, my family and my property from Tyranny or those who would do us harm.”

Pomposity will then query you as to what sort of “tyranny” you’re talking about.

Answer…

“Government tyranny either foreign or domestic.”

The “gun control” socialists will then try to be dismissive of you…Try to play you off as a fool and they will slightly chuckle as they ask: “Are you afraid of your government? Why would anybody be afraid of the government? You don’t REALLY think the government is your enemy do you???

The ONLY correct answer is…

“No. I have nothing to fear from my government. It’s the GOVERNMENT who, according to the founders and framers, should fear ME.”

And let’s be very, VERY clear on this point. These socialists and their socialist administration DO…INDEED…Fear the law abiding gun owners and THEY see those who own guns and adhere TO the 2^ndAmendment as a THREAT to their ability to control the people or they wouldn’t be trying so desperately to BAN guns, ammo, clips and eventually…The 2^nd Amendment itself.

THEY…THOSE IN POWER…FEAR US…THE LAW ABIDING GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA…AND THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE!!!

“When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny.”  – Thomas Jefferson

Socialist: “So you REALLY think Obama’s going to go rogue? That’s absurd.”

Response: “This administration’s agenda and ideology is clear and Obama has, on several occasions, already subverted congress and has, on more than one occasion, subverted the Constitution BUT…Before you get dizzy from the altitude of the pedestal you seem to think you’re on…I believe ANY administration under ANY party has the ability to “go rogue” and I, per the Constitution and the 2^nd Amendment, have EVERY right to bear arms against them should it EVER come to that.”

“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” – James Madison

“A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.”  – Benjamin Franklin

At this point, it becomes a fair bet that the pompous socialist will try to shame you by dismissing you as uncaring.

Socialist gun control” advocate: “So it doesn’t bother you that children are getting killed in schools, in theaters, at the mall and on the streets? You want to leave these “killing machines” on the market instead of protecting children?”

The proper response: “Oh indeed I DO care about the children. I hope EVERY child has the opportunity to grow up and live in a FREE country where they too, can become responsible gun owners and protect the liberty and freedom of this great nation for THEIR children and their GRANDCHILDREN. Without the right to keep and bear arms, that would not be possible.”

None of this however, on the agenda of the left, is really meant for the children for, if it were, the above statement would ensure a free nation for generations to come. “Gun control” is about disarming those who would, if the need should arise, PROTECT freedom FROM those who would TAKE the guns away.

The “it’s for the children” line of crap is an old and far too worn false argument.

The world, for centuries, has been replete with those who have seen more tyranny and are far wiser that you, I and most certainly the “gun control” advocate and it would be best to defer to their words in response.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.”  – C.S. Lewis

“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”   – Plato

“Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them.”  - Voltaire

“The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience” – Albert Camus

“There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.” – Charles de Montesquieu

“Necessity, the tyrant’s plea” – John Milton

When the garden variety socialist tells you that “Nobody is trying to repeal the 2^nd Amendment OR trying to take away anybody’s guns…Simply remind them of this…

On last Friday’s MSNBC show, Alex Wagner stated that exact thing.

“No one, anywhere, is talking about doing away with the Second Amendment, and no one, anywhere is advocating stripping away gun ownership.”

Precisely 2 years earlier on 1-11-11, Alex Wagner said THIS to Bill Maher:

“I think get rid of the second Amendment, the right to bear arms. I just think in the grand scheme of the rights that we have; the right of assembly, free speech, I mean, owning a gun does not, it does not tally on the same level as those other Constitutional rights.”

Ms. Wagner champions the 1^st Amendment and wants the 2^nd stricken without even BOTHERING to recognize that the 2^ndAmendment actually protects HER 1^st Amendment rights.

Thank GOD MS. Wagner is NOT in a position to SET policy however, she IS in a position, even with a terribly limited viewership, to express the agenda of her comrades and, as we ALL know, MSNBC IS the primary propaganda arm of the current administration.

The CURRENT administration…The Emperor…said he could NOT enact the “Dream Act” on his own and then DID so. He said Obamacare was NOT a tax and then…argued in the Supreme Court that it WAS. He said NOBODY making less than $250k would have their taxes raised and yet…He made SURE he raised taxes on 77% of Americans across the board. He made recess appointments when congress was NOT in recess, unilaterally decided that the Defense of Marriage Act would NOT be defended, by Executive Order made it against the law to use one’s right to free speech in protesting a president within earshot of the Secret Service and the list goes on.

Why should we believe one single word he or his pundits say when they claim nobody wants to do away with the 2^ndAmendment or take away anybody’s guns?

This administration intends to start with semi-automatic rifles to which they incorrectly assign the title “assault weapon,” and “high capacity” clips NOT because they are responsible for the violence and killings but because those are the sort of weapons most likely to be used in the defense of freedom against tyranny and stark facts, compiled by the FBI, back this up.

In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618. In 2011, there were 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with hammers and clubs.

One is more likely to be beaten to death by an unregistered and unregulated device of mass construction than by a rifle of any kind.

IF they have any success against the means of freedom protection, socialists and this administration will then move against handguns and other firearms.

Remember…Once they force you to register each and every firearm you own, the government…ANY administration current or future of EITHER or ANY party will know exactly WHO owns a gun and WHERE they live. All the easier to go door to door and collect them.

And finally…the ever dismissive, demeaning and pompously pugnacious “gun control” advocate will try and tell you that the founders could not possibly have foreseen the advancement in weaponry and would certainly have not intended for the people to be armed with such weapons as they want banned.

HOGWASH!!!

“On every question of construction [of the Constitution], let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying

what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”— Thomas Jefferson (letter to William Johnson) June 12, 1823

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

The ONLY way in which the “gun control” advocate’s argument could be construed as valid would be IF We the People were armed with TODAY’S weapons and They the Government was armed with flintlock muskets and even then…The Founders and Framers CLEARLY meant that We the People were FREE to keep and bear arms to protect us from TYRANNY.

When they come for your guns, exercise control…Use both hands and…Give them the bullets first.

Socialists will say I’m advocating violence.

I’ll tell THEM that I’m promoting freedom….

Because we who cling to our bibles and guns will take our marching orders from those who gave BIRTH to this great nation rather of those who cling to “Rules for Radicals” and “gun control”and are deliberately trying to destroy it.
