A profound solution to stop the infringement
For decades, the US Congress, Executive law enforcement agencies and certain federal Courts have been cooperating in a collective decision to disarm all Americans except themselves.
Despite the exacting, and prohibitory language of the Second Amendment that specifically protects the individual’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the federal government has embarked on a broad program of regulation, licensing, and police action to eviscerate the natural Right as it existed since long before the Constitution was adopted.
The Right to Keep and Bear arms is so crucial to the protection of Life and Liberty that any infringement of that Right must be viewed as a high-order threat to Life and Liberty.
When exercised individually, the Right provides for the security of one’s person, family and property. When exercised collectively, the Right insures that the People always possess the means to free themselves from a despotic or tyrannical government.
There should be no doubt as to the true purpose of the Second Amendment, despite the platitudes of politicians who sermonize about public safety and the lengthy dicta of some federal judges who attempt to rewrite history and want us to believe that words do not mean what they say, and that we should passively defer to our political leaders for our protection.
The Right is not simply about the right to hunt ducks or shoot clay pigeons. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is ultimately about the absolute Right of a free People to ensure that they always possess the collective capability to claim and exercise the Right of Revolution, if necessary, to secure Redress against constitutional torts and tyrannical government. The Individual Right to defend one’s life and Liberty is self-evident. The Right to throw off tyranny and despotism is merely an extension of the individual Right.
Government has never been and will never be beneficent. It’s true nature, in fact, is evil. As Ronald Reagan once declared, “Government is the enemy of freedom.” As government gains ground, Liberty loses ground. We should always love our country but never our Government. They are two different things.
This empirical truth was well recognized by our Founders, thus the Bill of Rights.
Time, however, is working against the People and the Bill of Rights.
For instance, with public education having all but replaced private education, with civic education receiving short shrift in our government controlled schools, and with the People pre-occupied with their families, careers, and income and property taxes, the Government has been working to disarm the People as it steps farther and farther outside the boundaries drawn around its power by the terms of the Constitution, taking possession of a boundless field of power.
Government’s natural inclination is to control the People and diminish Liberty. If the Rights protected by the Second Amendment are inevitably lost, the Light of Liberty will dim and die.
