Why the 2nd Amendment Matters
“I clearly remember a conversation that I had with my mother when I was approximately seven years old. I saw some anti-American demonstrations pertaining to Vietnam and I asked my mother why the United States was so bad.
My mother told me that the United States was the best country in the world because the people take care of themselves so the government does not get too big and too corrupt.
All we need is a driver's license to travel anywhere in the country.
Our taxes are less then 20% versus 50% in communist and socialist countries such as the Soviet Union and China.
We protect ourselves and have the right to do so. No other country would dare attack us on our own soil because most people have guns and automobiles.
We have a government of the people and for the people. The majority rules so that most of us are satisfied. We cannot please all the people so a democracy makes it possible to please the majority. This is the best form of government.
Most of these positive traits of America have been destroyed by selfish politicians, lawyers, lobbyists, financial institutions, and large corporations, as well as the propaganda pandering mass media. It amazes me how so few can destroy so much so fast.
Anyone who wants to disarm the American citizens is truly self-serving, corrupt, and fearful that the American nationalists will wake up one day and put their foot down.
Weapons are often the vehicle of truth and peace because they are available when all else fails and most people are willing to work things out in a positive way to avoid using them or having them used against them.
The nationalists and the citizens of the United States of America are the true defenders of freedom and the Constitution of the United States. The right to bear arms was put in place so that our government would remain small, non-bureaucratic, non-tyrannical, and pure. It had nothing to with hunting.
Anyone who wishes to disarm the citizens of the United States is a fool and irresponsible. No sound argument can be made. Just remember that medical mistakes and automobiles are involved in the injuries and deaths of a much greater number of people.
Anti-gun legislation is not for the people of the United States. Anti-gun legislation is a selfish effort to preserve and increase the power of the soulless tyrants that seem to be running rampant within our government today.
Instead we should pursue a root cause analysis of why so many people are so upset, frustrated, angry, and selfish.
The first step is to denounce a consumer economy. We are not consumers. We are the people of the United States. We are the defenders of the Constitution. We are supposed to be the government and we are supposed to defend freedom at all costs.
Our Founding Fathers were some of the most brilliant people ever to walk the Earth. It is unfortunate that our children will never be taught the truth within our failing public school system. Are you starting to get it now?
I remember a time when I was a student and we were taught a course on rights and responsibilities. The responsibilities portion was deemed the most important part of the course because without responsibilities for our rights our rights would be taken away.
Responsibility for our rights is no longer taught by the school system to our children. Attorneys and politicians will not allow it. They would rather destroy the nation for their own financial and political gain.
We are in deep trouble. We should be worried about terrorists. We should be scared to death of many who hold office in Washington as well as with our state governments.”
