If there is one thing that should make people mad, it is when politicians look them in the eye and lie to them, knowing full well that what they are saying is a lie. There is no better example than the falsehoods that gun-control advocates spin when they talk about their hopes and wishes. Make no mistake about it, gun-control people like the Brady lobby and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton are coming for your guns and will confiscate them as soon as it is feasible to do so.
The video on page 2 highlights Clinton’s daughter Chelsea making a pitch for her mom so that she can implement “sensible” rules about gun ownership.
Watch the video and see if what she is saying makes sense and if you can believe that your 2nd Amendment rights will be safe with Hillary in the White House.
PROTECT the CONSTITUTION O
Where are the veterans who swore to protect the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic……. All it requires is for you to act on what you swore you would actually do.
The Constitution law forbids judges or lawmakers from infringing or passing legislation “editing” any amendment outside a constitutional convention. That amendment process is laid out in Article V of the Constitution, which says that either supermajorities in both houses of Congress or a national convention can propose them and a larger supermajority of states must sign on in order to secure ratification.
Oh, I forgot, you failed your oath of office by expanding the empire, illegal wars, protecting corporate, military and banker interests.
2nd Amendment: Original Meaning and Purpose
“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.”
When the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1789, federalists claimed the new government would only have limited powers expressly delegated to it. This wasn’t enough for anti-federalists like George Mason, who wanted explicit guarantees to certain rights in order to prevent any potential encroachment by the federal government.
One of them was the right to keep and bear arms. Mason wrote:
“A well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free State”
The Founding Fathers, having just broken away from Great Britain, understood the new federal government they were ratifying might one day become just as tyrannical. If it had the authority to control citizen access to firearms, then it could disarm them, just as the British attempted to do. This would make any attempts to restore liberties futile.
The Second Amendment was specifically included in the Bill of Rights to prevent this.
Two centuries later, we are in an ideological struggle with gun control advocates attempting to alter the meaning of the Second Amendment in order to allow for federal restrictions on our right to bear arms. Not surprisingly, they completely ignore what the ratifiers of the Constitution and the Second Amendment had to say, because all pertinent historical documents contradict them.
For example, when the Founders wrote of a “well regulated” militia, they meant militias needed to be well regulated through training and drilling in order to be effective in battle. This could only happen if citizens had unrestricted access to firearms.
James Madison, the father of the Constitution, said in 1789 that “A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
An example of a well regulated militia under Madison’s definition were the Minutemen at Concord and Lexington, who had drilled on fields in preparation for war.
As to the meaning of the word “militia,” it has nothing to do with the National Guard. There is already a clause in the Constitution that specifically authorizes arming them.
So what is a militia as defined by the Founders? Mason said they were “the whole people, except for a few public officials.”
In fact, there was a universal acceptance among both federalists and anti-federalists as to the importance of the right to bear arms.
Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 28 that “if the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense,” a right which he declared to be “paramount.”
And then there is clause “shall not be infringed.” There is no exception to this contained anywhere in the amendment.
Zacharia Johnson, a delegate to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, summed up the meaning of the Second Amendment when he declared that “The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them.”
Full possession. Not some. Not most. Full possession of their weapons. The feds were to keep their hands off entirely.
The Founders made it very clear what the Second Amendment means. But if we do not fight against any and all attempts by the feds to infringe upon our right to keep and bear arms, then it loses all relevant meaning.
Like mother like daughter! Batcrap crazy!
Truth of what they want /WAKE UP PEOPLE CLI TON WILL CONTINUE LIKE OBAMA TEYING TO TAKE 2 ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
Stupid like her momma
There presently exist anywhere between 18000 and 20000 laws regulating every aspect of a firearm’s existence – from manufacture, to end use. Firearms are probably the most regulated, the most controlled, the most restricted commodity in this country. It has long been illegal to assault, rape, rob, extort, threaten, or murder another person, no matter the INANIMATE object used to accomplish any of these acts. My question for the nay-sayers, the anti-gun champions, the purveyors of tyranny, is simply this: just what law, specifically, would you propose/enact/enforce that would deter, prevent, or eliminate any CRIMINAL use of a firearm (an INANIMATE object) resulting in the “gun violence” you claim occurs as a result of “lax gun laws”? All that is necessary to understand the rabid efforts to disarm law-abiding American citizen gun owners is to realize that liberal gun control efforts have nothing to do with child safety, nothing to do with public safety, nothing to do with safety of anybody, or anything of the kind. Liberal gun control is about one thing, and one thing only. That one thing is the liberal/socialist’s need to disarm those who would resist, thus impede, their ability to implement the socialist, centralized, big government, cradle to grave, control of people, who, in the liberal elite’s opinion, are not smart enough to make the important decisions necessary to take care of themselves. The only thing preventing obama (and ilk), from imposing their vision of the socialist, sunshine, unicorn, butterfly, and rainbow utopia upon America is that they have been unable to disarm 150-200 million Americans of some many more millions of firearms. Additionally, neither have these socialist elites been successful at dissuading these 150-200 million law-abiding, citizen, firearm owning citizens from standing/fighting/dying for the principles in which they believe.
They assassinated him
That’s why the Democrats had Scalia murdered. We have sensible gun laws, it’s the 2nd Amendment. Every patriotic American should be armed at all times. NO MORE DEMOCRATS
That’s exactly what happened. Clinton hit!
as soon as you and your useless parents give up your armed security ill give up my guns
