Why have you excerpted your blog?
From the TEXAS Declaration of Independence from Mexico..
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/texdec.asp
“It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.”
THE RIGHTFUL PROPERTY OF FREEMEN! Even Texas understood it!
May God defend the right!
Various wordings of the Second Amendment were tried during its development. The end result *purposefully* leaves out any enumeration of reasons why an individual has the right to keep and bear Arms. Any reason *why* an individual may or may not keep and bear Arms, was left to the states and the people thereof, to settle among themselves.
The only enumeration in the Second Amendment focuses on what to do about a group of men under Arms - what is to happen when individuals who bear military grade Arms are in a group, and they *are* capable of exercising martial power. What *then,* was to become of that power?
The answer was, that both the states and the federal government would rely upon *the group* being formally mustered, well-regulated, well trained to Arms, well discplined, and answerable to civilian authority.
Both the states and the federal government sought unity of function and preparedness of the militia of each state. The state militiae should be “well trained to Arms” and be capable of, and mindful of, lawfully exercising martial power and respecting lawful civilian authority.
In the old days up to around WW-I times and for a while thereafter, there was a tradition of local militia drilling on the common, the town green, or the county fairgrounds. It gave people an opportunity to remain somewhat familiar with military duty; it helped to keep them from becoming too rusty. It demonstrated the proper practices and discipline *for all to see.*
It is a shame that most communities and counties and states got out of that practice.
All the uses of weapons, firearm or not, for non-military purposes, were left to be decided by the states and their people.
Again, there would be no condition within the Second Amendment, by which you do, or do not, have the right to keep and bear Arms; because, the Founding Fathers correctly anticipated that any such enumerated condition might be used as grounds for an individual to either be forced to bear Arms or be stripped of their Arms.
I believe that we have a duty to protect people from police states, and that we have a duty to adhere to God’s desire that we oppose a) government tyranny, b) abuses of power by government agents, and c) abuses of power by government agencies.
Also, that it was our destiny to oppose the scourge of national socialist Germany that created the system of camps by which the socialists worked to exterminate millions of people *whom the socialists blamed for ‘injustice’ and against whom the socialists sought revenge.*
But, we have care-less-ly agreed *enough* - in order to get along with - the “feral” animalists who are enthralled with the gray areas between
- being rational loving human beings, and
- slouching in Gomorrah (they call it hedonism)
Indeed, the “feral” nationalizing socialists have become the thought police for fascism *just as their predecessors did among the German population.*
The fear of gun grabbers is the main reason I did not apply for a cc permit when they were finally allowed in WI. I did not want to be on the local police register as having guns.
Nicolae and Elena were given a fair and speedy trial, condemned, and ordered to be shot on 22 December 1989. Volunteers for the 8 man firing squad extended for several blocks. When Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were led out, each member of the firing party had an AKM with a 30-round magazine; 240 rounds later, the pair succumbed to lead poisoning. I imagine there will be some American political hacks that meet a similar fate if the Left gets their wish for CW2.
Geez, I remember all that happening like it was yesterday.
