How about some plain, simple, factual talk about guns and gun control?
First and the ONLY thing that matters is………..
THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES………….”the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed.”
Nothing else matters. There are no stated or inferred or implied exceptions.
NONE ! But further………………
The purposes of the Second Amendment, as stated by the learned men who had
the good sense to understand the necessity for it, is very clear and well
grounded. (1)THE NATURAL RIGHTS TO SELF DEFENSE. (2)RESISTANCE TO
OPPRESSION. (3)THE CIVIC DUTY TO ACT IN CONCERT IN DEFENSE OF THE STATE.
The first Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment stated in part
that…..”The Second Amendment has no other effect than to restrict the
power of the national government.”
The Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that the Second Amendment limits state and
local governments to the same extent it limits the federal government.
What the hell is so difficult to understand about those two rulings? The
Second Amendment is so clearly stated that those two and all other supreme
Court rulings are not necessary. “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”. Simple. No
exceptions. No “interpretations”. “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”. PERIOD ! END OF
DISCUSSION.
None, not one, of the laws which Connecticut and Colorado passed this week
would have prevented any of the deaths in Newtown or Aurora.
No law, existing or being contemplated, not one law, will prevent anyone
from getting a gun if they want to get one.
The argument that those countries with severe gun restrictions have fewer
gun murders than the united States is not relevant. The Second Amendment is
the only relevance.
The Connecticut lawmakers and governor said they hope the unconstitutional
laws they did this week would “bring some relief to the parents of the
children murdered in Newtown.” Those laws and no other laws will bring any
relief to anyone. And that’s the wrong reason to pass laws in the first
place.
Those who say, “Well, we have to do SOMETHING.” No. You don’t have to do
SOMETHING. That’s idiocy. To do SOMETHING. Even if it’s unconstitutional and
even if it won’t work even if it was constitutional.
Assault weapons. I have news for all of you idiots who use that terminology.
Assault weapons. Every gun, no matter how small, or large, is an assault
weapon. If it’s used as an offensive weapon. A ballpoint pen is an assault
weapon. If it’s used as an offensive weapon. And, every gun no matter what
size is a defensive weapon. Do you get it? There is no such thing as an
assault weapon. That’s a terminology that has been used to foster emotion,
fear, by those folks who want to violate the Constitutional right to keep
and bear arms.
Simple fact. The existing, recently implemented and contemplated gun control
laws do not, repeat, DO NOT, do anything but oppress the law abiding people.
The Second Amendment is the only amendment to the Constitution which states
a purpose.
It is unconstitutional for any city, county, state or the federal government
to pass any law restricting the right to keep and bear arms. Any person who
assists in making such a law is violating the Constitution. Isn’t violating
the Constitution some kind of criminal act?
