EXACTLY! The 2nd was put into place for the soul purpose to give the power to the people to remove a belligerent gooberment taken over by hostiles with intent to bring down the nation from within.

We were once told that the right to bear arms meant that we had the "right" to display our family crest. They will use any & all propaganda against non thinkers.

Just an ugly example of how the people failed their civic duties while loyal to an increasingly unconstitutional government.

If Trump were to be good, then everything he is doing, would go to the means of minimizing the federal government, and promoting states rights. 50 states of sovereignty are much more difficult to defeat, then 1 corrupt nation. See the EU versus individual countries and the tariff war. We have come so far from our founding documents, but every avenue of redress lies within them. We the people only need those and the will to exercise our rights, all other means are repugnant. Look to those around you, they are the answer, only if you can lead them there. Personal accountability and sacrifice is the real fight.

All laws and rules repugnant of these documents need abolished. Going back to 1 representative per 10,000 voters, and appointed not elected Senators, that can be recalled when not acting in the interest of the state. How far back is that, is the question and the debate. Everything on the books can be wiped away in one move, fraud vitiates everything post the original fraud.

Trump often calls us a democracy, he is the enemy of the people.

Those who would disarm the law abiding citizen in order "to prevent criminality" are The Worst Criminals.

This Current USSA Society has only half of the 2nd Amendment in existence, as the Militia portion has gone the way of the 10th Amendment and many of the other "Bill of Inherent Rights".

( and the last half is GrubMint Regulated in democRat States.)

Nuance counts. Thank you for this very crucial "clarification." ... And Happy Easter!

Great writing, and quotes from the past.

I think I can put it a bit more succinctly, and plainly.

The second amendment is so the people can protect themselves, period, especially from the government.

Though perhaps I should say against rather than from.

"The Second Amendment denies the government the right to infringe upon our right to bear arms."

Once again, demonstrating the Second Amendment's utter impotency!

America was sold down the river when the 18th-century founding fathers replaced Biblical responsibilities (based upon the moral law of God) for Enlightenment rights, and nothing demonstrates it better than the Second Amendment.

Think about it: The Amendment WITH the wording "shall not be infringed" is the MOST infringed, licensed, and limited Amendment of the entire twenty seven. Furthermore, a future generation of our posterity is likely to see the Second Amendment whittled away entirely or repealed altogether. This is inherent nature and danger of optional Enlightenment rights versus non-optional Biblical responsibilities, such as the following:

"Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword [or today's equivalent] in their hand ... this honor have all his saints. Praise ye Yah." (Psalm 149:6-9)

"But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house [beginning with spiritual and physical protection], he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." (1 Timothy 5:8)

Which is more potent: 1) An optional right, or 2) A non-optional responsibility?

Which is more likely to be infringed, licensed, and ultimately abolished altogether?

Which did the pre-Second Amendment Americans look to for their authority to bear arms, with little or nor infringement?

For more, listen to "The Second Amendment: A Knife in a Gunfight," delivered at the Springfield, Missouri Firearms and Freedom Symposium, at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/#FeaturedMessages

At this same location, you will also find a radio interview Larry Pratt (Executive Director of Gun Owners of America) conducted with me on this same subject. I think you'll find Mr. Pratt's remarks especially interesting. It can be found at https://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/tapelist.html#T952

Yea, the founding fathers based the 2nd. amendment after what the Swiss do. They train each individual to be responsible gun owners and then provide each person with the latest model. Families practice at gun ranges on the weekends.

During WWII I read that the Swiss would send their best snipers to kill German officers in order

to let the Germans know that that's what will happen if they were to attack Switzerland. The militia would go after the officers. So, none of the German officers had any interest in Switzerland.....

This might be a good tactic to remember if/when our Senators are contemplating declaring war on someone. That someone trains snipers to go after the Senators, as a preventative measure......LOL.

Actually, these days, an "enemy " country could just proclaim their intentions if plans were made to attack them...... " We'll come after the perpetrators of aggression first. "
