Let's get something straight real quick: It is not government's job to give and take. It is their job to preserve and defend.
The 2nd amendment of the United Stated constitution does not give us the right to bear arms.
Let me repeat this slowly: When our founders drafted the Bill of Rights, they did NOT sit around a table and say, "Let's allow all present and future Americans have guns."
Here is what the 2nd amendment says, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed".
It is a simple phrase because it is a simple concept. More so, it is a simple TRUTH.
Let me quickly tell you what this means: We are born free. It is our God given right to own guns. It is a basic human right. In fact, the right to bear arms is more of a human right than to eat or get a job. It is our God given right from the moment we are born with free will to defend ourselves and our family from all enemies; foreign and domestic.
This whole debate on gun control is absurd. If you truly believe an inanimate object is responsible for human behavior, then decades of conditioning and programming have enslaved you.
We are not slaves.
If the president and all members of Congress have a right to armed bodyguards 24 hours a day, then, we as free people, have that same right to defend ourselves from POTENTIAL threats.
If you want to believe that our founders did not intend for us to have assault weapons, then be prepared to hand over your freedom of speech on the internet as well because our founders never mentioned the internet in the first amendment when upholding our God given right of free speech.
The 2nd amendment is simple: Government cannot infringe on our God given right to bear arms. We control our own destiny and our freedoms are inherent from birth.
Freedom is dangerous.
However, a society where only government and police have guns is far MORE dangerous. The ashes of history prove that.
A government that sells guns to our enemies in the middle east and gives guns to the Mexican drug cartel via Fast and Furious yet wants to disarm her own citizens can NOT be trusted. A government that rammed tanks into a compound killing women and children in Waco can NOT be viewed as a caring entity. A government that uses drones in 3rd world countries to aimlessly kill innocent people who have not been given a day in court can NOT be believed to be looking out for our best interests.
Our founders knew that absolute power corrupts.. They knew that an armed public was the only way to ensure we remain free.
Everything we are being told in this gun debate is simply intended to manipulate us. To play on our emotions. To use FEAR to make us believe other people know what's best for us.
We are born free.
It was our founders belief that we should also die free.
I like you. There! I said it, and it's true.

But I disagree with you and especially this blog. Really Hurl, I don't care if you delete this comment later, because this comment is aimed at you and not anyone else in particular. I will be happy knowing that you were the only one who read it.

First question? Do you really believe this moronic, non-sequetor, non-logical, polemic, Fox-News-Format stuff you wrote? Well, if you do, bless you and Glenn Beck. You're both hopeless cases. In the meantime you have to wonder why other places on the planet like New Zealand and Canada are "free-er" than the U.S.A.
.
Maybe it's because you live inside this paranoid bubble that really thinks you need a gun because the Zombie Apocalypse is going to actually take place between the expiration of the Mayan Calander and the next Jesus Rapturing. In that case, I hope you're ready. I hope that you have your AK-47, your Bush Gun, your bazooka and your sherman tank are fuelled up and waiting for the end of the world you so emminantly expect. It didn't come during Hurricane Katrina, and not during Sandy, but it will happen SOON!
.
Incidentally, the Constitution says you have the right to bear arms, but it didn't actually specify what kind of arms. For me, I think I want drone planes with nuke-tipped rocket-launchers, just so I can click out NRA members and other potential Nazis with their End-of-the-World or One-World conspiracies.
.
Why are you saying Obama is "raining on your parade" if he urges Congress to say, "Okay, you can have a .38 Smith & Wesson, but having a fully automatic machine gun with 3 Rambo bandoliers is "violating your constitutional rights".
.
Personally, I think that if you are going to hang on to 18th century values, then you should be restricted to 18th century weaponry. Yes... you make a rifle - a flint rifle or a flint gun. Simply because the world can evolve, but you cannot.
.
The next thing you know you will be challenging the consitution because originally it did not allow females or slaves to vote or own property or hold political office. So why are you in favour of amending some out-dated political issues, but drawing the line when it comes to ammending other out-dated rights?
.
Maybe you are paranoid and worry that entire US government will turn wacko and take over the entire world and turn you into a slave. Well, in that case, you are going to need more than a couple of AK-47 and a couple of hand-granades in your closet.
.
So now you can tell me, "Fuck You!". You're welcome.
I totally agree with you! We have the God given right to protect ourselves and our families against the evil that tries to offend our peaceful way of living! We don't use our weapons against the innocent, we are law abiding citizens, who in turn won't go down without a fight if we are at risk of being robbed, raped, or attacked for whatever reason! We have just cause not to trust our government! They are all out for themselves and it seems like honesty and our beliefs just aren't important anymore! Well written and right to the point! A lot of people need to wake up and see what is going on! Hey, I like you too, because you are real! Like the majority of us!
