So much for the Constitution and the Supreme Court rulings of the past few years.

These people are exactly the reason for the Constitution. They are the very people our founders feared.

Well said. I've sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Unlike politicians, some of us take our oaths seriously. Very, very seriously.

“These people are exactly the reason for the Constitution. They are the very people our founders feared.”

+++++++

“Dad, while you were taking pictures after we had lunch, Mr. Mann was telling me about what happened to him during the war.” Henry and his father were down in the workshop, where Henry was cleaning his guns. Walter Bowman looked up at his son.

“Hm.” Walter had never heard of Irwin Mann talking about that part of his past.

“He was telling me about how the police came and took him and his wife away, and he never saw her or any of his family again. He said that Hitler killed six million Jews like him, and would have killed all of them if the Americans hadn’t fought against the Germans and beat them.”

“That’s probably true.”

“He talked about how none of them had any way to fight back. He said first the police took away the guns that were like the ones the soldiers used, then they took away ALL their guns. He said he hoped I was always a good shot with as many kinds of guns as possible, in case the same thing ever happened here.” Henry looked very upset. “Dad, I love shooting, but I don’t want to kill anyone. Could something like what happened in Germany ever happen here?” he asked.

Walter Bowman, the history teacher, looked his son in the eye. Want to take this question for me, Uncle Cam? he said silently. Finally he answered.

“It probably won’t happen here,” he said, and mentally added the word again. “I certainly pray that it doesn’t. We have a nation with the kind of freedoms that people in most other countries can only dream of. But to answer your question accurately, yes, it could happen here.” And it killed your uncle.

“There are always men who want more and more power, and history has shown us that these kind of men will take all they can from the people they control. Sometimes they are finally stopped when the people fight back. Sometimes the people don’t fight back, and they slowly lose their freedoms until it’s too late.

These people = The democrat party = the media = Fienstien, Obama , Pelosi, Costas, Reid, Caty Couric,

Notice they are all democrats. They are ALL the EXACT SAME communist peice of crap , every single democrat wants to empower the government and at the same time take away our individual rights like gun ownership , to take away our freedom and even right to own property(slavery/socialism).

EVerything democrats do is to empower government and at the same time dis-empower the individual be it gun control, Obamacare , big government solutions, government schools , a million gov programs that “help” people no actually enslave people

capitalism can coordinate engineers, accountants ,business people, managers , shippers, drivers, factory workers ,miners etc to produce a watch for $1 one dollar at the dollar Tree. And with Google we can buy anything on the freed market .So what do we need government for? nothing except military and keeping illegals out of the country( border control , international issues). Leave us alone gov, . We don't need the thousands of government agencies at all levels of government that cripple the private sector and take away our freedom

They’re the EXACT reason for the Second Amendment.

It’ ain’t about duck hunting.
