“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.”
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of The United States of America plainly states that all PEOPLE have the right to keep and bear arms. To make this clear, one must understand the basis of government. To get that clarity, one must read John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, which clearly explains that for one to be in a society, one must agree to certain things. First, a person in a society has an unwritten agreement with the society, to follow the laws of that society. In other words, a person must agree to follow the accepted behaviors of society, such as treating each other with respect and basically being cordial to one another. Unfortunately, in some parts of society, we have those who refuse to conform and are lawless. But for those who DO follow the norms(or laws) of society, they have rights and those rights include the right to own a gun, not only for protection against those who are lawless but also to protect us from those in power who seek to overthrow us, such as the current president, who by executive order, plans to overthrow this part of the Constitution by enforcing gun control.
While the president (lower case for a reason) believes he can enforce gun control on law abiding citizens, he fails to protect us from those who are not law abiding. He is leaving us vulnerable to those who seek to destroy us. This in itself is treasonous behavior toward the PEOPLE and therefore he is the one who should be stopped. He is acting as King George III did when the colonies declared independence from England. George was a tyrant and so is the current president. No president in recent history or rather, since I was born in 1966, has been so instrumental in disrupting life in the United States as the current one and why no one stops the man is beyond my understanding. Our Constitution has guidelines in which to control tyrannical leaders such as this yet our Congress is not willing to do anything. So, therefore it is up to the PEOPLE to do something. What shall we do? Well, there is a quote from one of our Founding Fathers that basically says, to fight/stop a tyrannical leader is obedience to God. So, how do we stop this man? Many will say by force and yes, that is what the Second Amendment states we have the right to do. Do I advocate this? I won’t say, but, forced into a corner, such as we are, one must do what one must to protect their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness if the government refuses to do so. Fight to protect your family, fight to protect your life and what is yours. We have that right. If all other options fail, then do what you must. I say neither yea or nay.
We must take the Constitution for exactly what it says, nothing more or less. It is clearly written so that simple educated people can understand it. The problem is, those wishing to control people will manipulate things in ways they can. obama (lower case for a reason) seeks to destroy the Constitution and that in itself is treasonous and a good enough reason to remove him from office because he swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. He has not done so since the day he took office for his first term. He swore to fundamentally change the United States of America and he has worked hard at doing this. I have seen lawlessness in the streets because he encourages racism. I have seen the First Amendment attacked in several ways, first the silencing of those who speak against him, and the attack on Christians for their RIGHT to worship as they see fit, by allowing one religion (islam) more rights than Christianity. But for now, the one thing I need to say, and hopefully will say it without being censured is this: Now more than ever, WE THE PEOPLE MUST use the Second Amendment to its full authority, not only to protect our families but to protect our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness when a tyrannical leader attempts to remove our Constitutional and God-given rights to protect ourselves. He is committing a crime against Natures Laws and Nature’s Creator by this tyrannical attempt to enforce gun control against law abiding citizens.
