Rule Of Law Deterioration Has 2nd Amendment Supporters Worried

“The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights.” –

Wikipedia

“In 2008 and 2010, the Supreme Court issued two Second Amendment decisions. In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. In dicta, the Court listed many longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession as being consistent with the Second Amendment. In McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government.”

“The right to keep and bear arms (often referred as the right to bear arms, or to have arms) is the enumerated right that people have a personal right to firearms for individual use, and a collective right to bear arms in a militia. The term militia (or irregular army, is commonly used today to refer to a military force composed of ordinary citizens to provide defense, emergency law enforcement, or paramilitary service, in times of emergency without being paid a regular salary, or committed to a fixed term of service. It is an expression with multiple distinct but related meanings. Legal and historical meanings of militia include:

• Defense activity, or service, to protect a community, its territory, property, and laws.
• The entire able-bodied population of a community, town, county, or state, available to be called to arms.
• A subset of these who may be legally penalized for failing to respond to a call-up.
• A subset of these who actually respond to a call-up, regardless of legal obligation.
• A private, non-government force, not necessarily directly supported, or sanctioned by its government.
• An official reserve army, composed of citizen soldiers. Called by various names in different countries such as; the Army Reserve, National Guard, or state defense forces.”

Second Amendment Continued

Our personal rules are to follow the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Ten Commandments. In our opinion, the rest is just nonsense promulgated by crooked politicians, lobbyists, or others with an agenda.

Recent escalation of violence in the United States has more to do with economic, and social pressures rather than guns. A gun is just a tool. If there were no guns in the USA right now, the public’s drastically messed-up mental instability and bureaucratic rules’ nonsense would still promote and foment violence on a grander scale. The problem is not with guns, but with politically correct crap, crooked bankers and politicians with an agenda, and an innocent herd of Sheeple shoved along within this non-standard environment.

Presuming a total absence of guns in the United States, we would expect a worse crime rate and a widespread use of other kinds of weapons, including but not limited to knives, baseball bats, setting fires, use of altered garage tools, bows of all kinds, other kinds of edged weapons and probably explosions using homemade nasties produced in high school chemistry classes. These suggestions are just simple alternatives used by criminals already having guns. Some deranged criminals have used cars and trucks as well as farm equipment to smash and crash private and public and property. Others have used weapons coming out of science labs we would rather not discuss whatsoever.

What’s the point? The point is that in states, or cities-town having reasonable gun laws permitting citizen protection, the criminals tend to stay away. The bad guys are afraid someone they might rob, or pick-on will be packing heat and just blow them away during the commission of a crime. I don’t care what any watery-eyed, whining, simpering, drooling liberal says; guns prevent crimes and it’s a proven fact.

Proponents of gun control are using an agenda of gradually imposing new controls as opposed to trying to ban all guns in one fell swoop using a wide-ranging bill, or new law.  The latest idea is to ban weapons like assault rifles having the ability to fire rapidly, using high capacity magazines. Further, it is said by gun control people, those kinds of guns can be illegally altered to perform on full-fire automatic. While this is true, that kind of behavior is illegal. Illegal behavior should be stopped using rules and laws already on the books.

America has a very long history of frontier-mentality where freedom and emphasis on related liberties were literally the foundation of this nation. Growth of too many new rules and laws instigated by congress people and their ilk at lower levels of government are trapping and squeezing the citizenry into an ever-tightening psychological vise. This vise is creating hard resentment and an increase
to the mental the boiling point as the Sheeple either push back, or are ready to, with a lot more force than most expect.

Those with patriot thinking, who for the most part hold ideas and old fashioned conservative virtues are under pressure from all fronts including freedom of speech and religion. Considering the number of guns out there and many of them not on the bureaurat’s radar, we would strongly suggest gun control advocates tread lightly and obey the exiting rules and laws of the United States. Messing with gunners could be a very big mistake.

We do not think proponents of gun control will win this protracted battle. Rather, if those thinking the opposite continue to push and squeeze, all of those guns might end-up being pointed at gun control people. We certainly hope events do not go there, but recent street action and mayhem suggests that is where it goes next.

Trying to control guns and ammunition in America would in our view have a legendary bad ending. Correcting anti-social behavior is a better idea. Broken families, social disasters, and financial mayhem inflicted by bureaurats to combat economic and familial ills of America won’t be remedied by gun control. Reserrection of conservative values and rules will do this. Families need to stick together in a cohesive manner instilling old fashioned ideas and values. Kids need to see good parents lead them by example. The correct answer will take years of positive adjustments. Let’s start today.
