The founders of the United States were loyal subjects of England, until the government decided they wanted more of the fruit of their labor, became aggressive in subjugating them to their will, and outright murdered individuals for failing to succumb. The ultimate end was a new country, an effort to summarize the most important things for a government, and a strong love of liberty.
The most important thing created with the new law of the land was an amendment to the Constitution:
"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."
Everything else demanded by law is moot, when the law is ignored by those in power, the judicial branch ignore the disparity, and those without wealth, or power, are in peril for demanding equal justice. That, and the lack of rules only lead to more disdain for a secure society. Crime become rampant, violence becomes common, and those supposedly elected to insure the peace become thugs that use the power of their office to harass those that disagree with their actions.
The second amendment is the only thing preventing chaos, or a police state. Liberals know this, the rotten core of government knows this, and they both make strong efforts to end the ability of the citizens to protect themselves from tyranny.
Today is the celebration of independence from tyranny. May all the years ahead continue to have the strength of the second amendment to prevent another mass effort by a tyrannical government to remove the liberty of the citizens.
Well said, Jess. Well said.
