Why We Need the Second Amendment

[Vinylly]

A few weeks ago we got a post from the Ukraine on how badly the citizens wanted arms to defend themselves. These past few days we, ourselves, also found out why arms are so necessary at the Bundy Ranch. So, I looked up the second Amendment of the Constitution: 'A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to the people to bear arms shall not be infringed upon'. No wonder all the socialists and liberals want the second amendment abolished. According to the constitution guns were not just to shoot ducks and pheasants. If only the Ukrainian people had the Second Amendment. If we want freedom we have fight for it, even in this country.

The only armed “civilians” in The Ukraine seem to be those armed by the Russian government.

Bundy Ranch v BLM

[longtermmemmory]

given this government’s lack of defense funding, Alaska is in jeopardy and it is time to citizens to be prepared.

Perhaps that lame remake of red dawn was not so far off.

This is the Socialist history that led to Hitler's Germany....see any resemblance in the Obama administration?

(Obama's Socialist programs.....)

Kewelest thing to see cowboys mounted on horse and lined up directly and so many others lined up on the high ground and flanking those chimes.
This whole thing was handled wrong by BLM

The militarization of our government at local, state and in bureaucratic divisions is ridiculous.

This could have ended very badly and unneccessarily so.

As a whole, without a very strong military presence, Alaska is almost indefensible from Russia and China. We couldn't get assets there in time if we had too.

It's important to remember that the first ten amendments are not a "Bill of Rights" granted by the government in the usual Soviet, Jacobean use of the term. If anything, the first ten amendments are a partial list of God-given UNALIENABLE RIGHTS extended from the list in the Declaration of Independence. The Founders did not want to list all of our unalienable rights, because man is born free and government is a necessary intrusion on man's freedom.

The right way to look at these amendments is in the presumption of the Constitution: that listed, enumerated powers are those DELEGATED TO the central government by the states and the people. Everything outside those limited powers belong to the states and the people. The Tenth Amendment confirms this.

Therefore, the way to look at the right to bear arms is it is a God-given, unalienable right over which the body of the Constitution did not give the central government power. The Second Amendment simply confirms this.

'A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to the people to KEEP AND bear arms shall not be infringed upon'.

Fixed, not sure where You looked the 2A up for this but I'm looking at My copy of The Cato Institute pocket sized Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

I will trust the wording from that over any .net source these days due to all the "revisionist" carp out there.

Nothing personal, just clarifying the wording.

[mabarker1]

Yes, everything. All they did was translate from German to English.

This shows why the Public Scroolz teach revisionist History- so the Generations don’t learn REAL HISTORY. Therefore whatever they are told in class is all part of the long plan to destroy the USA.

Through the 1920s, Hitler gave speech after speech in which he stated that unemployment, rampant inflation, hunger and economic stagnation in postwar (post Bush) Germany would continue until there was a total revolution in German life. Most problems could be solved, he explained, if communists conservatives and Jews were driven from the nation their values and the jews from their country. His fiery speeches swelled the ranks of the Nazi Progressive Party, especially among young, economically disadvantaged Germans Americans of color.

Though no actual shooting took place at Bundy ranch, it was close. It’s one for the history books (or at least should be).

The Battle of Athens, Tennessee (1946) is an excellent example of the employment of firearms to preserve freedom and root out corruption.

If we want freedom we have to fight for defend it, even in this country.

Fixed it.

Your post made me shake my head. May I suggest that you look up much more of our Constitution? I would also suggest that you proofread your homepage Vinylly.
