THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS NOT FOR DEER HUNTING

Tyrants Always Unarm Citizens Before They Slaughter Dissents

When I purchased my first firearm in 1999 I did so because I expected the Second Amendment hater Al Gore to become president after Bill Clinton’s term ended.  Based upon his words and actions as vice president it was clear that he planned to destroy our right to bear arms by any means possible.  With history as my guide, I knew that an unarmed populace quickly became an oppressed people with no rights at all.

When a politician speaks, the listener wonders if he/she is really that stupid or if he/she is just lying to advance an agenda designed to eat away at our precious Bill of Rights and/or steal more money from us and/or . . . . This is especially true with the topic of firearms and the Second Amendment.  It is slap-the-side-of-your-head hilarious when political hacks pretend to know what the founding fathers had in mind as they pondered and drafted Americans’ Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment. All were ratified on December 15, 1791, less than four years after the US Constitution was enacted.

WHAT DID OUR FOUNDERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS?

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."
- Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778

"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."
- Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Stephens Smith, son-in-law of John Adams, December 20, 1787

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

"...the ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone..."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788

"To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them."
- George Mason, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..."
- George Washington, First Annual Address, to both houses of Congress, January 8, 1790

“GUN CONTROL” IS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE CONTROL, MAKING AMERICANS HELPLESS

When American politicians insist that we must, must, must trample on the Second Amendment in order to “save lives,” quote them what a British Prime minister had to say eight years before our Bill of Rights was drafted:

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."
- William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783
