Disarming America

The second amendment wasn't just for the right to keep arms for home security or hunting, it was also for the people to be armed enough to fight against a tyrannical government, kind of like the one we have now. They know this. "Gun Control" is not about "safety" or "crime levels", it's about scaring people into giving up their weapons; its about corrupt leaders disarming their biggest threat, US the people, the well organized militia. Hitler himself was very successful at creating a nationwide gun registry: 

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
Adolph Hitler
Chancellor, Germany, 1933

I don't know about you, but I'm not about to follow Hitler's (or Obama's) "lead into the future."

The Founding Fathers of the Right to Bear Arms

In a time of such tragedy the "Gun Control Debate" has been ripped wide open once again. There has been yet another flood of statistical data for and against. As a proud, God fearing, gun toting, American patriot I find it difficult to remain silent on such matters.  However, I do not wish to rattle off some biased opinion or stats, but in times such as these I wish to turn to some of the greatest men who ever lived; the men who wrote the God inspired documents this country was and still is (for the time being) founded upon even after more than 200 years of change.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington
First President of the United States

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
Richard Henry Lee
American Statesman, 1788

"Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not."
Thomas Jefferson
Third President of the United States

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; … "
Thomas Jefferson
letter to Justice John Cartwright, June 5, 1824.

"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; …"
Samuel Adams
quoted in the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789, "Propositions submitted to the Convention of this State"

"The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand arms, like laws, discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside … Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."
Thomas Paine

Amen. And amen.
on the other hand:

"If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things."
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
Adolph Hitler
Chancellor, Germany, 1933

"Our main agenda is to have all guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort the facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
Sara Brady
Chairman, Handgun Control Inc, to Senator Howard Metzenbaum
The National Educator, January 1994, Page 3.

I need not say more. May we all give our support to those victims of senseless crime and violence, but may we also not fall into the trap of surrendering our unalienable rights for the sake of fear; and may God continue to bless America as He has in times past.
