I wrote a previous piece on gun control and was told it might’ve been too long. https://resistancetononsense.wordpress.com/2018/06/29/our-preexisting-irrevolkable-right-of-self-defense/ I try here to boil it down a bit.
Our Constitution created our government. Before the delegates would agree to ‘create’ that government they added ‘protections & limitations’ to government power. These are known as the Bill of Rights or the first ten Amendments. The one being discussed herein is our Second Amendment which precludes the new government’s power over personal arms. It states that the Right of the People to bear arms “shall not be infringed.” The word “NOT” demonstrates the delegates were precluding the proposed government from having the authority/power to “infringe” on the People bearing arms.
When our Constitution was written it was crafted such that the normal Citizen could (and did) understand what it meant. It wasn’t written in ancient Sanskrit, Cyrillic Russian or Hebrew. Very few had any advanced education therefore the words used had clear, commonly understood meaning. The country’s population, at that time, was primarily English speaking, Christian common people and it was written in plain everyday English. No one was required to interpret what our Constitution meant.
The government today tells us that ‘they’ have the authority and power to “interpret” our Constitution. Specifically, they’ve interpreted the word “not” in the Second Amendment to, in fact, mean “can”. Thus, rather than not having the authority to “infringe” on a Right that preexisted the very formation of the government itself, they can pass any law they wish “infringing” on anyone’s Right to bear arms by the vote of a mere 67 members of the US Senate.
Now, any kid graduating from a high school Civics course or any first year Law student will tell you that our Constitution’s meaning can only be ‘lawfully’ changed by way of ‘amending’ our Constitution via Article V of our Constitution. In fact, changing our our federal Constitution actually requires 290 votes in the House of Representatives, 67 votes in the Senate and must be approved by a minimum of 38 of our state Legislatures ~ a process, so difficult, it’s only been navigated 27 times during the entire history of our nation. Anyone who tells you that the government, by itself, can change the meaning of an existing Amendment that’s part of our Constitution, by “interpreting” the word “NOT” to mean “can” is, simply, a liar, a cheat or a loquacious jewish lawyer.
Let’s look at this another way. Where our Constitution is our People’s ‘fundamental Law’ let’s look at some other “fundamental Law”. Since we have a good number of Christians in this country, let’s look at the Ten Commandments. These are said to be rules handed down by God that are, without equivocation (sort-a like our Constitution), to be adhered to. The Tenth Commandment instructs: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife”. There’s that word “not” again. Most of us, who can still fog a mirror, would take that to mean God intended that You “CAN’T” covet your neighbor’s wife.
Using our (above) government official’s belief regarding our Second Amendment, where they interpret the pivotal word “not” as “can”, apparently they would claim God (actually) intended that you could covet your neighbor’s wife given certain criteria (that they establish) without consulting God. Perhaps, were she was really ‘hot’ or, if in the interpreter’s mind, they were sure that she ‘wanted you’ then, screw your neighbor and have your way with his wife.
Now, call me silly but, I think most Christians who ‘believe’ in God’s Ten Commandments would tell those nitwit bureaucrats that one can’t nuance or “interpret” what God said which was “SHALL NOT” into “can”. Likewise, most Americans, who ‘believe’ in our Constitution would likely NOT buy into the government’s interpretation that when the Second Amendment’s restriction on government saying “SHALL NOT” infringe on the bearing of arms properly suddenly means they can infringe given they apply whatever criteria that they make up.
Given the fact that the government can not lawfully change the meaning of our Constitution arbitrarily and independently without using the Article V Amendment Process, every single alleged ‘gun’ Law, restriction, limitation of or tax passed and enforced is a violation of the Constitution itself. Everyone participating is passing such unconstitutional acts has violated their Oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same”. They HAVE usurped our Constitution, breached their Oath are are, in a very real way, committing Treason.
So, with any due respect you might expect to be granted, if you personally ‘believe’ that the government can change “SHALL NOT” into ‘we sure can’ you should take your lying, word-salad spinning, leftist, anti-Constitutional ass and get the hell out of MY country because the rest of us have had enough of your ‘type’. If my remarks ‘offend’ you then my advice is to “interpret” the remark below in a text you’re probably familiar with:
