Assault On 2nd Amendment Rights Is Coming

  

The first American assault weapon

I read this article on American Thinker and thought I’d post it.  It has a number of the Founder’s quotes on the necessities of an armed poplulace.  As is usually the case with most of what our Founder’s wrote, there’s no ambiguity about how they viewed the topic.  Your duty, as an American, is to own and carry a firearm.  
I decided to post this because I saw Hillary Clinton on Greta Van Softball last night talking about the border and the violence.  Of course, it’s our fault.  The upshot of all of this is that the guns are coming into Mexico from the U.S..  Once again, the guns are the problem.

This will be the strawman that is used to reinstitute the assault weapons ban.  Hillary talked  about it last night and so did USAG Eric ‘Whitey is Racist’ Holder a few weeks back.  So, for a moment, let’s pop a couple of halcyon, assume that they are correct, and accept that the bulk weapons used by the drug cartels are coming from the U.S..  (Because it would make so much more sense to find mule purchasers in the U.S., with no felony backgrounds, that can pass the background test to purchase fully automatic weapons and grenade launchers from U.S. dealers, and then transport them across a heavily surveilled border, when they can purchase and import them at will from any of the banana republics to their South, if not from their own military.)  Why would that be justification to enact an unconstitutional law to prevent law abiding citizens in the U.S., who have neither the intent or inclination to do harm to others, from owning those same weapons as the violence moves Northward across our border?

Do we not have the right to protect ourselves?   Clearly, the Federal government has abdicated it’s responsibilities to protect us and our borders from foreign insurgents.  Kidnappings are on the rise across the border states, especially in Phoenix, AZ.  The solution is to restrict us from providing for our own defense?

Remember, laws only affect the law abiding.  There are already laws in place that prohibit taking a firearm into Mexico from the U.S. – why do we need any others?  Liberty, once surrendered, is liberty lost.

Read the American Thinker post, pay special attention to the part about what the whitehouse.gov says about the 2nd Amendment.  Something to the affect that “The 2nd Amendment grants the people the right to bear arms.”.  This is entirely wrong, and B. Hussein Obama-Soetero, supposedly a Constitutional lawyer, knows better.  The 2nd Amendment does no such thing.  Instead, what the 2nd Amendment does is state that the right to keep and bear arms predates the Constitution, is inalienably possessed by the people, and prevents the government from infringing upon it.

By the way, this is the case with the entire Constitution, it states what the goverment cannot do, not what you can do.  It does not grant rights!  It preserves for you the rights granted by your Creator!  Remember that always.

They are coming for the guns – be ready. Read Congressman Tancredo’s rebuttal of Hillary’s comments here.
