It Began With We The People

It began with the words, “We the People” in very large type, indicating the it is by the People’s consent that they be governed according to the Constitution for the united States of America. Clearly a statement that puts those who will be chosen to represent the People, to follow the laws of the Constitution when making any other laws regarding the whole of the sovereign individuals, making up the People of the States.

Both the authority and limits placed on the national government were meant to restrain it from passing laws that would jeopardize the rights of the People in any manner.

One of those rights that was explicitly defined in the Constitution was to protect the religious freedom of all People.

The 1^st Article of Amendment clearly states that,

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

And one of the most important amendments, the 2nd Article of Amendment, makes it emphatically clear,

“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.”

During the time of its writing, “well regulated” was to mean well trained.
“Necessary to the security of a free State.” Simply it means it is a State’s right to form its own army to protect itself of attacks from enemies. Granted that the Constitution also states, the President as Commander-in-Chief may call up the Militia, the Governors of each Sovereign States must call up the Militia for their particular State before the President can assume the Commander-in-Chief authority over them. That would make sense if the President was to call forth the Army by declaring war on a State because it was threatening the union through conflicts with either, other States or the Union itself.

That part about “keep and bear arms,” itself is an explicit limit placed on the national government, as it was feared by our founders that a government that became corrupted and tyrannical can only be stopped with parity in weapons of war. It was never implied that hunting and target shooting was ever considered as a thought in this amendment.  And the part that states, “shall not be infringed” is also protection from limitations placed on an individual’s type of weapon or inventory of ordinance.

Even the fact that guns must be registered or that permits must be issued is an infringement. It allows a possible tyranny to overwhelm the public with superior arms with less fear of reciprocal casualties. In other words, they can kill you without fear of significant reprisals as they would easy defeat an ill equipped rebellion.

This short lesson in Constitution is brought to you by the many who have fought for and who gave their lives fighting for the liberties that some take for granted. It protects my rights to free speech and to present alternative views from those of the privately-owned and government-controlled major media. And then there are others who are willing to give up freedom for some illusion of security, when bombarded with constant images of deaths in which guns were used. They soon forget that they have the right and the duty to defend themselves, and not reliance on government to protect their persons which cannot be done.

Every dictator throughout history slaughtered their own countrymen after passing laws that prohibited the People from keeping and bearing arms. The only difference here in the US is that they are doing it gradually with propaganda campaigns like Germany did during the Nazi years.

Once we give up our ability to arm and defend ourselves we will become full slaves or murdered. It’s the same story repeated over and over, so what makes you think it will have any different result this time?

The Second Amendment: Meaning and Purpose

Ever since the first federal laws prohibited convicted felons from owning firearms was written, the federal and state laws concerning guns proliferated. Now we are facing outright bans on certain types of arms and not only by our own government, but also from the international body of the United Nations.

I for one find the laws are all unconstitutional and therefore null and void. The   Constitution is explicit. The Second Amendment as it is written states:

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.

It does not make any provisions for government to infringe on the rights of the People based on their social standing, criminal history, or the types of weapons they may possess. It was meant as a protection of the people from a tyrannical government or other enemies of the people. Now the first part of the amendment has been taken to mean a state's guardsmen, which is in fact incorrect.

Militias were local citizens who banded together to form their own protective guards. It does allow for the governors of states to call up the militias of the various communities and to assign or conscript them to serve under the President as Commander-in-Chief during times of war. Later laws such as the War Powers Act, shredded the explicit limitations placed on both  the State and the Federal governments by the Constitution by allowing standing armies during peacetime and by virtually eliminating the militias by the creation of the National Guards, a federally mandated army under the authority of the State Governor but in actual practice the President of the United States.

Any law that limits the organization of citizen armies (militias) or limits the right of the People to "keep and bear arms" is by virtue of the Constitution, null and void. It is not the government that needs to protect these rights when it it clear that the government is disobeying the limits place upon it by the People.

It is the duty of the People to protect their own rights by resistance to laws that clearly violate their rights. There are groups today who are exercising those rights much to the opposition of the federal government. (See: The truth behind  America's 'civilian militias')

The Problem is Not The Government

There is a belief in America today that our government is taking rights away from the people. Each day we hear and read about how government passes laws that chip away constitutional rights or how the President writes executive orders that by-pass Congress and the judicial review process entirely to make laws as a dictator.

But the problem lies with the people and not the government. Yes, that's right, you are the reason that it is happening.  In all that is happening, the blame lies with the American People and not the American Government.

We all know the history we learned in school about Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and even Castro in Cuba. What you don't learn in school is that all of them were financed by the wealthy bankers and industrialists, all of whom profited through the imprisonment and murder of innocent citizens who willingly gave up rights for the illusion of security.

We are bombarded by the privately-owned and government controlled major media to believe that America's lax gun control is responsible for the shooting in schools and movie theaters. That the drive-by shootings in drug-infested sections of metropolitan areas will somehow cease if weapons are banned. Even Hollywood celebrities come out clamoring for stricter gun laws or the outright ban of weapons by private individuals.

The problem is not the celebrities or the media, or even the government that produces this propaganda to frighten the masses into submission to loss of rights with the illusory promise of security.

In most nations around the globe, those with the strictest gun laws are  the ones that have the highest rates of crime. By contrast, the nations with the most armed citizens are those with the lowest crime rates. But you don't even have to look beyond our own borders to see  the absurdity in the media reports. While shooting like those in Sandy Hook grab the attention of the media, the stories of crimes being prevented or thwarted by armed citizens go unnoticed and unreported.

Every other alternative news story I read claims that are Second Amendment is under attack and that we stand to lose it entirely due to treaties being negotiated and signed by our President. If you really bothered to read our Constitution and truly understand its meaning, then it will become obvious to you that the President nor Congress has the authority to do anything beyond what the Constitution permits. The infringements made against us by our government is treason.

So when will you all begin to come to terms with the fact that it is by allowing it to happen that it does? When will you choose to stand up and fight for your nation in the face of a government that has been taken over and is being destroyed by true un-American activities? Huh? When?
