The last time the government tried to take away our guns, it started
a revolution that created a nation,
BASED on freedom for the INDIVIDUAL, not for the government, and in
which the right to be armed for self defense was enshrined in our
founding documents. The Founders knew that if we gave up that right,
we would soon be enslaved. Since then, even before the ink dried on
that founding document, politicians have been trying mightily
(unsuccessfully, I might add) to “get around” that founding
document and “get rid of our guns.” Again, unsuccessfully. They
just can’t understand why, after so many years trying, they haven’t
been able to do it. It doesn’t occur to them that the MAJORITY
of Americans are AGAINST it. They try every way they can to “get
around” the Constitution, and mostly concentrate on making the
legal guns out there USELESS by forcing gun owners to “safely
store” their guns in such a way they can’t be gotten into action
fast enough t oppose a criminal bearing an ILLEGAL gun. They create
“gun-free zones” that criminals IGNORE, bringing their guns there
anyway, SEEKING OUT gun-free zones in which to do their dirty work,
being pretty sure that gullible, law-abiding people will not be armed
and able to stop them.
People
fear that the politicians, if Hillary is elected, will finally
succeed, and they’re ready to fight. Some of them
have formed “militias” and are HEAVILY armed. They will probably
lose, but they WILL fight, and they will be joined by others. Maybe
they will even win. The “authorities” have shown that they are
“stopped cold” by a display of armed people resolute in their
desire to stop their atrocities. Many
are just not prepared to fire upon other Americans. I
don’t want to see another revolution in this country, mostly
because we don’t know what lind of government we’ll get after
it’s over, and the Constitution invalidated (not
even to mention the unnecessary bloodshed).
I’m too
old and “broken down” to participate, anyway. But I see one
coming, and I wish it wouldn’t happen—at least, in my lifetime or
that of my progeny. (NY Times)
