Second Amendment Society
We here in the United States of America have a thing called The Bill of Rights. This document affords us citizens with a few inalienable truths that are presumed self evident.
The second amendment of these rights is the right to keep and bear arms. A direct quote from the document is as follows “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“
Now lawyers, politicians, and other self serving scum have been debating what these words truly mean for centuries now, and it seems every year you will find some new infringement encroaching the basic verbiage of this amendment. In many states you actually have to undergo an excruciating and invasive application to receive the permission to own and carry a firearm in direct contrast to these simple words “shall not be infringed”
I will gladly be the first to admit that notoriously violent criminals should not have access to firearms BUT I also must stress that there is a very simple way to prevent their obtaining firearms in the first place and I will discuss those methods in a future post.
What I am advocating is the need for our federal government to remove the policing of firearms from the individual states and begin issuance of a Federal Concealed Carry Permit that would allow all us average Joe’s who own firearms to travel where we want in this country with our guns as the Bill of Rights claims we should be able to do.
Now I know that many of you who feel the same way about firearms as I do know in your hearts many of the violent tragedies that have occurred in this nation over the last several years ranging from 9/11 to specific college campus shootings would easily have been prevented if there were a few well armed honest citizens in the vicinity just before those crime were occurring. Those of you who are against firearms simply do not realize the old adage “when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns” is a truism and gets demonstratively proved repeatedly every day. I’m sorry, it’s just the way things are.
The National Rifle Association is the largest most vocal gun lobby group we have and they do some excellent work but they also neglect to look at the big picture. We have a right to our guns. It is time to take action into the hands of the people – that means you and me. Please, if you value your right to own a firearm, write to your congressperson – your representative and your senators, insisting that they pass a National Firearm Concealed Carry Permit and let them know if they fail to do this you will vote against them in future elections. We need to take back our rights and seize our guns.
A great man once said “There comes a time in every patriots life when he must defend his country from his government” . Well gun owners, that time is now.
Life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness, have a great day
