The Second Amendment

I recently started thinking about the second amendment and what it means. Or, rather what the second amendment should mean for you and me as individuals and citizens of this fine nation.

The second amendment states:

“Amendment II

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.”

In my understanding, this means to me that our second amendment right allows us not only to own guns but also to use them to protect ourselves from criminals and other threats.

In being a “well regulated Militia,” the second amendment says that we as citizens are to be able to protect ourselves from foreign governments that may attempt to invade. However, I also take this to mean that we may protect ourselves from authoritarian regimes. If a government is an authoritarian regime, then it has started controlling more power than is legally granted by its constitution or is attempting to rule over another nation with absolute power. Look At England at the beginning of this great nation's history, for example.

This seems to be a simple way of describing it, but we need to make a simple adjustment to our vision.

PROXIMITY

Authoritarian governments may (and do) exist all over the world. These governments include places such as China, North Korea and Iran. However, many more nations than this in the world are authoritarians. This is just to set the premise.

If we (the United States of America) were to be taken over by one of these types of Governments, we would go to war. Would we not?

So, the question remains that if our own government becomes this authoritarian government, What should we do?

While the Constitution grants us the right to protect ourselves in the second amendment, we must utilize violence only as a last resort. I do not condone the use of violence and would love to see this great nation restored to greatness. But war is not the answer, and hopefully will not ever be.

That is why we must stand up now, America. Take progressive liberalism by their reproductive parts and kick them – HARD! All while being as patient and respectful as possible…of course.

Now hold on a minute here, I am NOT telling any of you to ACTUALLY stomp on some poor democrats scrotum (just yet), only to make sure that we can unite as a nation of FREE MEN (and women) and kick this nasty habit of letting any and all of our very decency go to the wayside.

Only a couple of months left to get the message out. Let’s work on it.

And for God's sake! Leave my second amendment alone!
