Our Second Amendment is NOT a privelage. It is an enforcement of our GOD given right.
The 2nd Amendment does not "give" us the right to keep and bear arms.
According to the Founders, the right to keep and bear arms comes with us into this world courtesy of "Nature's God".
They called the rights listed in the 10 Amendments "unalienable rights", including the right to self defense and they specifically announced that "bearing arms" was included. So the Founders wrote into the Constitution, by ten Amendments, some but not all of our unalienable rights. And that means that the Constitution does not give us those rights - it affirms them. It acknowledges that the people speaking through their several sovereign States in compact created the document to serve the purposes held common by the States. The Federal government did not sign that Constitution, because it did not exist at the time the States signed it as their compact between equally sovereign States. The Constitution therefore is to protect those rights for every citizen. That is what it was created to do. That is what it is supposed to do. It does not "give" us those rights, it is to ensure that those rights are protected.
The Constitution does not "give" us the right - that right is from a higher source than mere man-made governments. It is unalienable. That means that the government is not authorized to take our rights, including the right listed in the 2nd Amendment. Our right to keep and bear arms is beyond question by any agency or branch of the Federal government.
That is why, exactly why, the Federal government is having hissy-fits over this swelling State sovereignty movement and the Nullification movement. Once our States recall that they own the Federal government, the cat is out of the Federal bag and we the people will once again own and enjoy our beloved America.
We are ENDOWED (created with) by our creator (who or whatever that may be but it wasn't the federal government. I was not born in a test tube) with certain UNALIENABLE (You can't touch them) rights. AMONG THEM (not limited to) are LIFE, LIBERTY (self explanatory), and the PURSUIT (not guarantee) of HAPPINESS (defined by the individual).
See that's the thing about inalienable rights. You don't get to have an opinion on them. You don't get to decide anything about them Uncle Sam. They are inalienable. You didn't give them and you can't take them away.
obama and his clan are "hoping" that We, The People, forget all about this, and that We, The People will bow down to "people" like the one's posting here, attempting to deflect the issue. Don't allow them to deflect.
I used to say the only "people" I could ever truly hate were racists, pedophiles and rapists. That's not true anymore. As of about six years ago, I absolutely DESPISE "people" like the one's posting here in this thread. More than anyone or anything on this planet. That's why I don't come here very often. Too many like them here.
"A nation...cannot survive treason from within...the traitor ...wears the face of his victims,...and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation—he works secretly...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared......." Cicero, 42 B.C.E.
