More of Sun-Tzu’s advice to know your enemy<\/p>\n
This is what passes for ‘liberal’ these days.
\nA wanna-be tyrant with a minimal IQ who somehow believes he’s\u00a0 discovered an as yet never postulated way to achieve his goal.<\/p>\n
The Second amendment is not, and never had been<\/em>, a permission to allow the People to do anything. It ‘gives’ nothing. It is in no way a ‘the people may’. It declares rights and restricts goobermint power over those rights. The Second amendment is, as clearly stated by the Bill Of Rights own preamble<\/a> – quoted below – is a restriction on goobermint power, not on the rights of the people<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers,<\/span> <\/strong>that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The author’s mindless idea is that of the ignoramus who was never taught, or slept through their course in, U.S. Civics. That also goes for many of the people commenting there. Either that, or they have an ulterior motive, a disarmament agenda for their political enemies, because unless they disarm them, they can’t deal with them the way all tyrants want to.<\/p>\n Read Second Amendment Literally: Ban Making and Selling Guns<\/a><\/p>\n A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n A fully contextual reading of the\u00a0Second Amendment<\/a>\u00a0tells us that the Founding Fathers protected the right to bear arms for the sole purpose of supporting a well-regulated militia to keep America free and secure. But various\u00a0gun cranks<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0judges<\/a>\u00a0have dismissed that prefatory clause and read all sorts of\u00a0non-original intent<\/a>\u00a0into the right to bear arms\u2014self-defense<\/a>,\u00a0shooting government officials we don\u2019t like<\/a>, yadda yadda.<\/p>\n So let\u2019s ignore the preface and focus strictly and literally on the operative clause, \u201cthe right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed\u201d. (I\u2019m also going to ignore that erroneous comma\u2014a comma should never separate a subject and a predicate unless there is some intervening descriptive phrase or dependent clause.)<\/p>\n The Second Amendment says we may have guns. It says we may carry guns.<\/p>\n The Second Amendment does not say we may make guns.<\/p>\n It does not say we may sell guns.<\/p>\n It does not say that we may box up a gun and mail it across state lines.<\/p>\n We could shut down every gun factory and store and dealer in America today and not violate the Second Amendment. We already have\u00a0393 million firearms<\/a>, more than enough to allow every living American to carry a gun. If you have a gun, you can keep it. You just can\u2019t buy any more or sell the ones you have.<\/p>\n Ah, but what if your gun breaks and you want another one? Or what if you grow up in a household that chooses not to bear arms but then decide when you grow up, you want to be a\u00a0hero like Kyle Rittenhouse<\/a>? You can\u2019t exercise your Second Amendment right if you can\u2019t get your hands on a gun? To keep and bear an arm, don\u2019t you have to be able to buy a gun or\u00a0build your own<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0bamboo, charcoal, sulfur, and diamonds<\/a>?<\/p>\n Well, if governments are\u00a0instituted among men to secure our rights<\/a>, then the government can secure our Second Amendment right by producing arms\u2014just contract Sig Sauer to crank out\u00a0a few million more M17s and M18s<\/a>\u2014and distributing them at local police stations or Army recruiting offices\u00a0to every citizen willing and able to carry one. \u00a0No right is absolute, of course: the government can and should decline to hand free guns to people who are drunk, crazy, angry, or elsewise identifiably dangerous. But if the government ensures that every able-bodied and responsible American who desires to keep and bear an arm can get an arm, then there is no need for private, extra-constitutional gun-running.<\/p>\n The Second Amendment has been\u00a0perverted<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0profit-seekers<\/a>. The Second Amendment does not protect gun commerce. End gun commerce, and we\u2019ll defuse the\u00a0fear<\/a>\u2013 and\u00a0machismo<\/a>-stoking\u00a0marketing<\/a>\u00a0that drives our\u00a0destructive<\/a>\u00a0gun culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More of Sun-Tzu’s advice to know your enemy This is what passes for ‘liberal’ these days.

\nThe People<\/em> already have the right not just to keep and bear arms, but to also make them, right along with the accoutrements and ammunition necessary for their use.
\nEven this latest ‘ghost gun’ regulation by the bureaucraps at BATFE does nothing to stop a person from making their own guns.<\/p>\n
