2nd Amendment

[Nelson Ward]

"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."

Much ado about nothing has been made of the first stanza of the 2nd Amendment by anti-gun people.

A well regulated (well trained and well armed) militia (every man and or woman who is physically able and also a citizen), being necessary to to the security of a free state, (the right to protect your freedoms, your property, your safety, your rights, state's rights), the right of the people to keep and bear arms, (notice it says the right of the PEOPLE, not the militia), shall NOT be infringed. (not by the Federal Government, not by State's Government, not by ANYONE unless convicted of a felonious crime by a court of law).

"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." (Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution)

"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms." (Richard Henry Lee)

"...to disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." (George Mason)

"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (James Madison, The Federalist Papers #46 at 243-244)

This is also confirmed in the Freedman's Act of 1866, where Congress affirmed that newly freed slaves'  right to keep and bear arms could not be infringed by the several states.  If Americans did not have the right to keep and bear arms, and if this did not include the states, why would Congress confirm that ex-slaves' rights could not be infringed by the states in the Freedman's Act?

Which arms can the People own?   According to both George Mason and James Madison;

"The People shall have arms equivalent to that of what any infantryman can carry on his person."

"The right of a citizen to keep and bear arms has justly been considered the palladium of the liberties of the republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
Joseph Story (1779-1845) U.S. Supreme Court Justice 1811-1845. His Dad was one of the Sons of Liberty who took part in the Boston Tea Party and fought at Lexington & Concord in 1775.  The above quote was from 1833.

I've got bad news. Sacramento lawmakers are pressing forward with their war on your gun rights.  There is no doubt: they're hell-bent on making it virtually IMPOSSIBLE for anyone in the Golden State to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Here's just a sample of the anti-gun bills your State Senate passed this past week: *** SB-53 requires you to get a permit, a background check, and pay a fee JUST to buy a box of ammunition! *** SB-396 bans magazines that hold over 10 rounds and makes YOU a criminal if you don't either throw them away or ship them out of state by July 1, 2014. NO grandfathering of magazines you already own. *** SB-374 prohibits sale, purchase, transfer, manufacture, or importation of ALL semi-automatic rifles that can use a detachable magazine. *** SB-755 is a private sales ban and forced gun registration scam that would also suspend your right to own ANY firearm for a decade for possessing just a SINGLE bullet in your pocket on school grounds, prohibit you from transferring a firearm to even a family member without government approval, and strip you of your Second Amendment rights for hazing. That's right. They'd even deny your Second Amendment rights for something as poorly defined as "HAZING." Government mandated permits, background checks, registration, and fees just to buy a box of ammo... "This will not affect criminals one whit,"exclaimed State Senator Jim Neilsen in debate. Nancy, I know you're getting tired of the constant assault on your constitutional rights in Sacramento. And that's why I am doing everything I can to reach as many freedom-loving citizens of California as possible.  You see, even in the most rabid anti-gun environments, lawmakers HATE pressure from YOU.  That's why only YOUR activism can convince them not steal your liberties, and only your actions can hold them accountable when they do.  So please, take a moment to contact your assembly members to tell them to put an end to this latest volley of Second Amendment infringements. Here's a list of Assembly members. Click here if you do not know who represents you. URGE them to end the war on your gun rights and INSIST they vote NO on SB-53, SB-396, SB-374, SB-755, and all other anti-gun bills! While you're at it, make sure to leave a message with the all powerful Assembly Public Safety Committee at 916-319-3744 urging them to kill anti-gun legislation. -- Dudley From: Dudley Brown [mailto:[e-mail]]  Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 8:10 PM Subject: Anti-gun California bills in committee tomorrow  Dear Fellow Patriot, I know I don’t have to tell you that your right to keep and bear arms hangs by a thread in Sacramento. With billionaire-playboy New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg criss-crossing the country with his anti-gun message, it was only a matter of time before he set his sights on California. And the anti-gun lawmakers in Sacramento are welcoming him with open arms.  Earlier this year we told you they were planning to make a push for draconian anti-gun legislation in the Golden State.  I wish it were an April Fools joke, but unfortunately, that time is here.  Beginning tomorrow, the Assembly Public Safety Committee will hear some of the first anti-gun bills. They are:  AB-48 -- Magazine Ban and Ammunition Crackdown This broad sweeping magazine ban expansion would: *** Expand California's magazine ban by making you a CRIMINAL for possessing springs or plastic; *** Force ALL ammunition sales to be reported to the Department of Justice, and; *** RATION the amount of ammunition you would be allowed to buy without being reported to local law enforcement. AB-169 -- Pre-approved Gun Sales Only Act *** Expand California's private sales ban by outlawing your right to sell your handgun if it is not certified for sale on the state handgun registry, and; *** Outlaws your right to purchase a handgun that is not on the government's pre-approved list of handguns. AB-500 -- Firearms' Purgatory Act *** Allows the DOJ to arbitrarily expand the 10 day waiting period to 15 days, and; *** Creates a FIREARMS PURGATORY by requiring private sales be confiscated by FFL dealers and held away from the buyer AND seller during a waiting period. Under this bill if you try to sell your firearm privately and something goes wrong -- you may lose the sale and forfeit your gun. These are the first hearings in what is sure to be an entire season of attacks on California gun owners and liberty loving patriots.  Also on the legislature's agenda: *** AB-47 -- Expansion of the so-called "assault weapons ban." *** AB-760 -- Ammunition tax. *** SB-108 -- "Lock up your safety bill", forcing you to box up and NEUTER all firearms stored inside your own home. *** SB-127 -- "Second Amendment Black List Act" -- stripping you of your rights based on mere "mental health" related accusations. *** SB-140 -- A mandatory background check TAX for the purpose of funding a GUN CONFISCATION program.  This bill has already passed the Senate and is before the Assembly Appropriations Committee. *** SB-293 -- Expands the list of "unsafe" guns that the state won't allow to be sold. *** SB-299 -- Penalizes law abiding gun owners for being victims of theft. *** SB-363 -- Regulates lawful gun owners who live with anyone who may be not be allowed to possess a firearm. *** SB-374 -- GOVERNMENT REGISTRATION of all firearms. *** SB-396 -- Magazine ban and ammunition crackdown. *** SB-53 -- More ammunition regulations. *** SB-755 -- Repeals your Second Amendment rights for conviction of misdemeanors. All this on top of the open carry bans recently enacted and a concealed carry system that only preserves the right to keep and bear arms for the politically connected -- like gun-grabbing U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer. But there’s good news.  YOU can help fight back against the anti-gunners agenda.  Please take a moment to do these TWO things: 1.) Contact the members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

Would Open Carry of Handguns Make You Feel Safer?

BY STEVE STRAUB ON JUNE 4, 2013 · 35 COMMENTS · IN CURRENT EVENTS

A few days ago we asked if you would feel safe going into a business that had a sign that read “Guns are welcome on premises, please keep all weapons holstered unless need arises. In such a case judicious marksmanship is appreciated.”

1,524 of you replied and the comments below are representative of what most of you had to say about this issue:

• BEST COMMENT – Here’s the thing with the people who believe it would be unsafe. In most states to carry a holstered gun in public, they must pass an extensive class of shooting accuracy, defensive shooting, and proper safety. Yes I’m sure there are people that haven’t gone through this, but these are the people who have a reason for not being legal. Your belief on gun control is your belief but I will say that in the properly trained hand a situation that involves an intruder can be controlled quicker than the police are able to get there.
• BEST COMMENT – How about a sign at school’s “Faculty/staff/administrators are carrying firearms and are trained to use if the need arises”? I’m for it.
• BEST COMMENT – I’m a teacher (33 years) and I would LOVE to have a gun in my room. I have a right to protect my students without endangering myself. I have a family, too!
  If I’m on one side of the room with a gun & my students are on the other side, the gunman would pay attention to me, not them.
• The bigger question here is would a gun toting ,psychopathic, trigger happy freak feel safe if he decides he is having a bad day and wants to take out a few people at a local business? Uh, I think he would think twice after seeing this!
• Israelis are safe in an unsafe world because many are heavily armed. Don’t feel safe around guns? Don’t go to Israel or to this shopping center. Israelis won’t miss you; neither will we.
• My belief is simple. Arm every GOOD citizen. Teach them to be proficient shots. Educate them on the second amendment and check for understanding the fact, that we, the greatest country on earth, have guns to thank for our life styles and our freedom…. now think about this… how many of those 22 children in conn would have come home to their parents, had all the good people, (who are here today because their fore fathers carried guns) been “packin”….
• Gun free zones are the most UNsafe place to be. The bad guys certainly know this. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
• Yes, safer than at school where I know there is no protection and anyone can and has just walked right in and hurt whomever they please without threat of return fire
• Absolutely safe! Criminals will know there are citizens present who are armed and not afraid to us it, and families can enter knowing they are allowed to exercise their right to bear and use to protect. The store owner can be more at ease about thefts, and in providing a safer environment for all.
• I wonder why the women who say they would not feel safe at this establishment feel that way? Should they feel unsafe at a police station where everyone is armed? Would they feel safer at a location that bans firearms? Those locations are targets for evil men with bad intent.
• 100% in favor of open carry and conceal carry. It is a verifiable fact that there are less gun crimes and less home invasions where people are able to protect themselves and their property. The 2nd amendment was designed by the framers of this country to protect ourselves from tyranny. Enemies, both foreign and domestic beware. This is our right. Deal with it!
• I would have my own CCL and feel even safer!!! When you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns!!! The mayor of New York City even has his armed body guards but wants to make it to where the average citizen can not carry a personal sidearm!!! What country was he born in?
• ALTERNATE VIEW – Except of course that plenty of people have been shot by “Good guys” too. I’ve lost count of how many news stories I’ve read that end in “I didn’t know it was loaded”. Or, “My husband bought it for me and I forgot it was in my purse. I’m not afraid of competent gun owners. Its the stupid ones who shouldn’t even be driving a car, much less owning a deadly weapon that scare me.

About 5% of you said they would not feel safe going into a business like that, the comments below are representative of what that group had to say. There are only a few samples because most were about the same.

• I’m sorry, but I would not be eating there. That’s too scary.
• I certainly would not feel comfortable walking into place where it’s possible that everyone there is packing a gun. I think that is just stupid. Anything could happen in that environment.
• I grew up with guns too. I was educated on the proper use of guns. A lot of people haven’t been. Can you imagine some couple gets in an argument there, they both pull out guns and start shooting, and everyone else pulls there guns not knowing who the bad guy is. Lots of people would be shot. I will steer clear, thank you very much.

All in all I was amazed that 95% of you would feel safe given all of the anti-gun media focus. It tells me that the anti-gun crowd is losing as far as the American people are concerned.

What do you think? Please comment below…

Florida Gov Rick Scott ( R ) apparently OK’d this arrest.  Like I said before – I don’t trust EITHER the D’s or R’s at this point.  If you put “Sheriff Nick Finch”  in the search bar, a lot of articles come up about this – happened yesterday, June 5^th.  Already “they” are trying to intimidate those who would PROTECT our Constitution….
