Some random thoughts about the Constitution. There is plenty of information available to substantiate these remarks.
First, no portion of the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, confers any rights upon the people.The Articles of the bill of Rights merely recognize and codify certain Innate Human Rights conferred upon the People by our Creator. This applies to the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Articles particularly.
Second, let's stop talking about gun rights! Guns have no rights, they are inanimate objects manufactured by man and employed by man in many ways, mostly good, relatively infrequently for evil. People have rights, usually referred to as Human or Civil Rights. In this case the right is to possess firearms for the defense of the United States if it becomes necessary. So let's start referring to what these rights truly are, Human Rights!!! Let's emphasize punishing those who act illegally and protect the rights of the ca. 99% of the population who has never committed a crime with a firearm, and is highly unlikely to ever do so
Third, most of the arguments against the 2nd Amendment are totally spurious. The 2nd Amendment is not about self defense so much as the 4th Amendment, guaranteeing "The right to be secure in your person.....". Firearms ownership facilitates this right.
"The 2nd Amendment does not protect ownership of Military type weapons". BS!!!!! The 2nd Amendment was written specifically to protect the right of the general public to own firearms of what would be currently useful in a combat situation! Not only does common sense dictate this, but there are prior Supreme Court decisions that substantiate this. Same goes for machine guns, sub-machine guns, etc.
Banning ownership of firearms by males of age 18 years is absolutely un-constitutional. Look up "Militia Acts." While there have been several Militia Acts since the days of the Articles of Confederation, before the Constitution was even adopted, into the 20th Century, the "Militia" has always been defined by law. In general "The un-organized Militia" can be paraphrased/defined as "The entire body of able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 years who are capable of bearing arms in defense of The United States"! While the definition floats a bit this pretty well sums it up. Imagine any member of the Militia being prohibited from owning the very arms he needs to participate in military actions? There is also a defined "Organized Militia" that has a narrower definition.
The problem is two-fold. First a major political party which believes The United States is a Democracy! It is not, it is a Constitutional Republic by GOD's Grace, and hopefully ever shall be. True Democracy can result in nothing other than anarchy. How many years has it been since Government aka Civics has been taught in our grade and high schools? Is it any wonder that our youth have no grasp of the Constitution???? Who has been responsible for this?
Think about these things for awhile and understand what I am trying to convey to you.
If this is considered political then so be it, that was not the intent! There is certainly enough evil on both sides of the aisle, no party has a monopoly!
