The Second Amendment

The amendment itself contains 27 words: 
“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.” 
This provision references both the collective right of a militia and an individual right.


As a Vietnam Era Veteran, I defended the US Constitution and the freedoms contained therein...  two of which I am particularly keen about:  The First and Second Amendments indicating our:
  • Freedom of Speech
  • Right to bear arms

While I will never hold another gun in my hand as long as I live, I am NOT OPPOSED to everyone in the United States owning a firearm and going through a weapons safety class followed by firing range practice...  and, if they want to, apply for a carry permit.

Not only should law enforcement and criminals like drug dealers be armed with weapons, so too should our general public be armed with weapons.

Not only should white supremacist groups and black lives matter groups and ANTIFA be armed with weapons, so too should the general public be armed with weapons as well.

As we continue to promote DEFUND THE POLICE movements, we should also promote ARM YOURSELF WITH WEAPONS movements because it is necessary to meet force with an equal (but never greater) than the force being applied against us.

The GREAT CONCEPT about the United States is that we have the First and Second Amendments and as long as we have both those amendments and a willing general public to take advantage of those amendments, we SHALL NEVER BE CONTROLLED by either a foreign or domestic threat.

Biden's Gun Regulations

20 GOP states push back against Biden gun regulations
Attorneys general say Biden's proposed gun parts rule is unconstitutional

Attorneys general of 20 states are fighting back against an "unconstitutional" Biden administration proposal to regulate gun parts.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich led the 20-state coalition in authoring formal comments urging the rejection of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) proposed new rule on firearms parts that followed President Biden's effort to regulate so-called ghost guns.

"Private individuals and businesses have the right to assemble firearms for their own use — a fact borne out in early American history and expressly recognized by the Gun Control Act," Morrisey said in a statement. "The Second Amendment is a core tenant of our Constitution, and this regulation would treat the activity of assembling firearm parts as a problem to be stamped out, rather than a right and tradition to be respected."

Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this year proposed further regulations of ghost guns to stem gun violence in America. Ghost guns are homemade firearms that aren't marked with a commercial serial number because such parts have been exempt from federal laws.

The Biden administration effort aims to crack down on individuals buying partially-finished frames and receivers, referred to as "80% receivers," without undergoing background checks or recordkeeping practices with traditional commercial gun sales. Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun-control group, has argued that the lack of regulation of ghost guns is the fastest-growing gun safety problem in America.

But the GOP-led states contend that federal law authorizes the ATF to regulate complete firearms and receivers, not the individual parts of an incomplete receiver, and new regulations could put certain gun parts manufacturers out of business. READ MORE

Cannot Rely On Government For Protection

Unless you have had your head up your rear end or been hiding in the closet, you are aware that SEVERAL MAJOR CITIES (under Democratic Leadership) have initiated action to DEFUND THE POLICE, reduce salaries, and eliminate SWAT teams since their residents find the police offensive to their pursuit of happiness and quality of life.
Purpose of Government
The oldest and simplest justification for government is as protector: protecting citizens from 

violence. Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan describes a world of unrelenting insecurity without a 

government to provide the safety of law and order, protecting citizens from each other and from 

foreign foes.


For me, it is obvious what we must do...
Rely on our SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS for protection...
Buy Your Own Firearms

If the State and Local Government REFUSE TO PROTECT YOU, then you MUST set about protecting yourself.

This may not have been the intent of the Second Amendment by our Founding Father and after all, they owned slaves so they really cannot be respected or trusted...  but, at this point-in-time, what they did is somewhat irrelevant and until the SECOND AMENDMENT is REMOVED from OUR BILL OF RIGHTS....

Buy Firearms and Protect Yourself
