YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FOwy9OWfnAM
The expert made some excellent points in demolishing Gun Grabber talking points [Lies]
Bill Whittle would make a terrific candidate for “high office”.
I remember using this same argument, either from this source or one like it, in a college paper ten years ago.
A varying & powerful take on RKBA, in light of the above:
The Founding Fathers were very clear they disliked standing armies, which could also be termed “well-regulated militia” (satisfying the application as insisted on by “anti’s” today). The 2nd’s preamble grudgingly recognizes (as the Founding Fathers did) that a standing army still is, for most practical purposes, still necessary to the nation’s security. Faced with the inevitable argument (as insisted on by “anti’s” today) that the existence of a standing army obviates the need for a seriously armed populace, the remainder of the 2nd states in no uncertain terms that the argument is outright rejected by the Constitution’s authors, signers & adherents, and that citizens retain that right regardless of whether a “standing army”/”well-regulated militia” exists.
BULLSHT
The Second Amendment is written in blood and saltpeter, not ink.
My family has had firearms above the mantel since 1644 and in the longhouses since 1621.
The Constitutional ink is a re-affirmation of the 400 year old written right [1609,1621-1775] to have guns, the practice of that right, and the unfettered usage of guns by the people and the Mohawks [sic] under the Dutch , Abenaki under the French, and English colonial laws and treaties, resp., which said Constitutional rights were never changed until illegally in 1922 [against machine guns], 1934, 1946 and 1968 against all types of weapons. My gggrandfather had a 12 pounder cannon and a blunderbuss besides his muskets.
Look behind the ink for the blood of the people- that`s where the smell of powder tells you what is the truth, not some language expert, because my family has lived the precendential rights found in the Second Amendment since 1621 [N.A. treaty] and 1644.
Well argued and easy to remember.
bump for later
