[Future Snake Eater]

No court, including the Supreme Court has the authority to rule on gun rights! Our Rights are Natural Rights and a Right of self protection from man and most importantly ... from Government!

Yet there are no repercussions for violating the Constitution. If an entity has "standing" and can get their case heard by the SCOTUS, then the unconstitutional law can get overturned. That's about it. Then another unconstitutional law can get put in place. And the long process can start again.

Unfortunately the People have gotten soft or lazy or both and have allowed the courts to decide their fate!

It is not in our best interest to allow government ... which includes the congress as well as the courts, to decide our Rights for us!

As the following quote from Thomas Jefferson points out ... Liberty once gotten can be a difficult thing to keep!

I just don't believe that the People have the will or the stomach to fight as our founders had hoped that they would!

====================

"What signify a few lives lost in a century or two"?

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants".

"It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356



The first sentence, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots." means that if liberty is to exist, there will forever be a struggle of free people with the forces of tyranny.

And that means that the continued existence of liberty will be nurtured by the results of that struggle, namely the blood of the tyrants and also of the patriots as they stand up to the tyrants.

It does not mean that the patriots are vicious or are terrorists like Timothy McVeigh.

It only means that the patriots stand up for their rights and for their liberties, and this will frequently cause the tyrants to kill them.
