Thread: Republican Second Amendment advocates call for gun control

.
See Texas GOP donors call on Congress to move on gun control

06/05/2022

“More than 250 Republican donors and self-described gun rights supporters penned an open letter this weekend calling for Congress to move on limited gun reform after an elementary school shooting in Uvalde left 19 children and two teachers dead.”

Of course, they did. This is part of the same conniving crowd which pretends the federal government is vested with an extraordinary centralized and absolute power to enforce the Second Amendment [part of our first ten amendments to our Constitution] on the states, when in fact those amendments were specifically and intentionally adopted in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of the newly created government’s powers, SOURCE. And those amendments were also intended to preserve and protect federalism SOURCE which in this case prohibits national laws meddling with the people’s right to keep and bear arms.

But hey, this crowd pretends, and very convincingly I might add, to be the friends of the right to keep and bear arms. But when they see favorable emotions running high to restrict and infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms, they join with the despotic and revolutionary Democrat Party Leadership, and together they move forward with full force and fury to subjugate our federal constitution’s Tenth Amendment and propose to use federal power to whittle away at the right to keep and bear arms, which our founders new was the only way for the States and people therein, to defend against a tyrannical government.

Jefferson was absolutely correct when he wrote: "In matters of power let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution” _ Thomas Jefferson, the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798. The only problem I now see is, why have a written constitution, approved by the people, if those who it is meant to control are free to make it mean whatever they wish it to mean?

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.___ Benjamin Franklin, 1755

And then there is the nitwitted view.

Our Founders intended ordinary citizens to keep and bear arms [a contemporary fire arm used by foot soldiers] so they would be ready and able to defend themselves against a despotic government if necessary. The AR-15-semi is a civilian version of the United States military’s M16 and ought to be kept by ordinary citizens to defend against a tyrannical government if necessary. Forewarned is forearmed.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And that is why gun control freaks detest federalism . . . it is an obstacle to controlling and subjugating the people completely.

If you are under 21, keep in mind you will not be able to defend yourself if our gun grabbers get their way!
