I
ask one question of those of you who believe that the founders' intent with the
2nd Amendment was to allow the people to violently overthrow their own
government. Why didn't they just come out and say that? "As it
may become necessary for The People to overthrow their own government, the
right of The People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
They could have, right? But they didn't. Why? How about
because that wasn't their intent?
What they DID say was "A well-regulated
militia being necessary for the security of a free State, The right of the
people ... " For the security OF the State. Not FROM the
State. If 'The People,' collectively, want to 'alter or abolish' their
government, they have that power. They won't need guns. Assuming, that
is, that it really IS 'The People,' and not a handful of discontented
individuals. Right?
Well done. Losers take great comfort in the mythology that they have been directed by God, or Allah, or the founding fathers to use force to get what they failed to get at the ballot box, on the job, or out of life.
ReplyDeleteThe gist of their argument seems to be, We don't care what anybody says. We have guns and we will use them to get our way.
