Disarming Citizens – a Warning from the Founders

For some reason, there has been quite a stir about how the Second Amendment is worded, not sure why because it appears to be rather straight forward. It states:

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people shall not be infringed.”

The “right of the people”, sounds like an individuals rights, regardless of how you want to interpret it. Even so, there are those who want to take that right away. They are trying to use the tactic that because it does not specifically state “individual”, that you don’t actually have that right.

Well based on that theory, they still can’t take anybody’s guns, WHY? Well it is quite simple, ‘We the People’ will engage the very tactics they use and base it on a loophole! “A well regulated militia”, now based on that, I am a one man militia, and I regulate myself quite well! Second part of the loophole “being necessary to the security of a free state”, this means that my one man militia is prepared to protect and keep my state free and safe should the state governor call upon any and all militia members to organize, to secure the state.

The founding fathers wrote the Second Amendment to prevent the type of dictatorship and tyranny that was happening in England. The English Bill of Rights was established in order for the King to disarm his subjects, however, they had made it clear that Protestants could remain armed for their own security and protection.

Alexander Hamilton said in 1788 (found in the Federalist Papers 29-45):
If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army
of any magnitude[,] that army can never be formidable to the liberties of
the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all,
inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to
defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens.

However, we will take a close look at how the US Supreme Court interpreted the law in recent history. District of Columbia vs Heller (2008),
www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf :

The Second Amendment protects the individuals right to possess a firearm
unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for
traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
Pp. 2-53
(a) The Amendments prefatory clause announces a purposes, but does not
limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative clause. The
operative clause’s text and history demonstrate that it connotes an
individual right to keep and bear arms. Pp. 2-22
(b) The prefatory clause comports with the courts interpretation of the
operative clause. The “militia” comprised all males physically capable of
acting in concert for the common defense. The Anti-federalist feared that
the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable the
citizens militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia
to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient
right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a
citizens militia would be preserved. Pp. 22-28

So as you can see, we don’t need a bunch of corrupt lawyers, bent on socialism, trying to use loopholes to terrorize us. Based on this, anyone using these tactics is nothing less than a terrorist, reigning terror on the peoples rights. It is quite clear they are using tactics to violate our rights, which could be interpreted as a terrorist activity. So why doesn’t the CIA and Department of Justice investigate these individuals, groups, or organizations? Could it be the Department Of Justice is currently caught up in it’s own propaganda warfare against firearms known as “the fast and furious”?

Secondly, these people are now discovering that ‘We the People’ are not as dumb, ignorant, and stupid as they had anticipated. For instance, let’s take a look at V.P. Joe Biden who stated that “anyone who owns a gun is crazy and by law means they can not own a gun”, well based on that analogy, does this mean that the secret service agents protecting him are crazy? Well, he could start by showing a good example and have the secret service put down their weapons, of course, he could still charge them rent for his security detail. Now I can honestly say that we almost never heard from his predecessor V.P. Dick Cheney, except when he had to apologize for shooting his hunting buddy. Now there is an idiot with a firearm. So who is the most dangerous of the two? Cheney shooting his buddy, or Biden always shooting off his mouth?

I personally do not own a firearm, however, I am not and will not give up that right willingly! I joined the NRA the very first time I heard these numbskulls were considering such legislation. I for one, have had enough of both parties stealing my rights, little pieces at a time. Pay attention, they swap views on issues so that neither one is truly the bad guy, because both sides think you’re an idiot.

There are those who oppose guns and have the IQ equal to that of a pet rock and say “guns kill people”, no stupid, people kill people. A gun does not fire unless a person is operating it. In addition, to your silly argument, mankind killed one another BEFORE firearms, they used swords, knives, bows, machetes, and even rocks, so unless you have something intelligent to say, SHUT UP.

There are those in the government who want to disarm citizens, to take away their ability to secure a free state. If you want to exercise your right to not own a firearm, feel free, some of us want to keep every right we have and not surrender any of them. It is clear that our founding fathers included the second amendment for our protection against a corrupt government that would seek to disarm its citizens. Our founding fathers understood that when a government wants to control its citizens, it disarms them! So even though you say you don’t want to own a firearm, you should at least support and encourage others to own them. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a situation where the only people that have guns, is criminals and the government!
