So Obama is staging another campaign style
event tomorrow to push gun control. And once again he will surround himself
with grieving mothers and spew the usual propaganda message "It's for the
children." All statistics will be thrown under the bus, guns will be demonized
and lawful citizens will be portrayed as supporting the universal background
check and "Assault weapons" ban.
I do
not support the universal background check or the ban of any weapon. There are
enough laws on the books now that are not being enforced and any new ones
passed will do NOTHING to stop a criminal from committing a crime with a gun.
The ONLY way to stop ALL gun crime is to completely remove ALL firearms from
the entire country, including law enforcement and that will not happen.
Every new "Compromise" made with
these gun-grabbers is another chip out of the Constitutional right to bear
arms. We are guaranteed under the 2nd amendment the RIGHT to "KEEP"
and BEAR arms and those rights "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".
Here is the
definition of Infringe from Websters online dictionary, pay very close
attention to #2 and apply it to "SHALL NOT BE"! : in·fring·es;
in·fringed; in·fring·ing
1 : to do something that does not obey or
follow (a rule, law, etc.) [+ obj] ▪ infringe [=violate] a treaty/patent ▪ They
claim that his use of the name infringes their copyright. [no obj] (chiefly US)
— + on or upon ▪ They claim that his use of the name infringes on their
copyright.
2 : to wrongly limit or restrict (something,
such as another person's rights) [+ obj] ▪ Her rights must not be infringed.
[no obj] — + on or upon ▪ He argues that the proposed law infringes upon our
guaranteed right of free speech.
I wrote and posted this on Face Book
yesterday and as predicted the president did exactly what I said he would do.
As I watched him give his propagandized speech I was not in the least bit
surprised by the way he portrayed the misinformation he has been spreading
through the media and by having America’s favorite “Crazy Uncle Joe” give
interviews and speeches all over the country.
It must be said that there are hundreds of
thousands if not millions of Americans who lack the ability to use critical
thinking or have not followed the debate on guns. It therefore falls on those
of us who have been watching or listening to the rhetoric to get the correct
information out where people can or hear the truth.
The second amendment clearly and emphatically
states citizens have the right to “KEEP
AND BEAR ARMS” and that those
“RIGHTS” SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
As can be seen in the definition from Webster’s Dictionary the word ‘infringed’
means to wrongly LIMIT or RESTRICT. Any effort by the president to force
congress to pass restrictions of any kind on guns or gun owners is unlawful
under the Constitution. I would contend that even the taxation of particular
arms or ammunition would fall under the definition of restricting as would
forcing a gun owner to buy insurance on whatever gun they may own.
There is no need to give a definition for
the word “KEEP”. The framers were specific in the words they chose to write
into the “Supreme law of the land”,
knowing full well that their words would at some point be challenged or twisted
by a corrupt government. Clearly the president is doing exactly what our
founders predicted.
It is going to be a difficult challenge to
get the truth out to the public but we must try! Obama is using propaganda to
convince the public that some 90% of Americans support “universal background
checks” to purchase a firearm. If the number is even close to that it is
because people are unaware of the definition of “UNIVERSAL” or the slippery
slope it is on top of. Because of the way the proposed law is being drafted a
universal background check would mean that there would have to be a national
registry of all firearms and their owners to be able to know where those
weapons are at all times. It would mean having to prove where every firearm
came from by means of original receipt and it would apply to family members meaning the
guns your grandpa bought and is now trying to pass on to you are illegal firearms and he and you are felons.
Regardless of what is being said the
Constitution is the supreme law of the land and any alteration of it MUST be
done through a constitutional amendment ratified by 2/3 of the states.
Everything Progressives from both parties are doing is a ruse for gaining
control of our God given right of self-protection. Removing firearms from
citizens only empowers and emboldens criminals and puts children in danger of exploitation
by criminal elements of society and government.
There
was no push to ban weapons when it was the government firing on college
students in Kent State Ohio or at Waco Texas or in Ruby Ridge. In all three of
these cases the government was found to be at fault and yet no punishment was
doled out for the murders of men, women and children.
SAVING AMERICA from this attempt to undermine
the Constitution will take each of us contacting our respective representatives
and demanding that they defend or amend the Constitution.
