Arms secure our libertiesAs our elected representatives plot to infringe our inalienable rights, it is important to consider the tyranny that represents.
The Bill of Rights enumerates the inalienable rights endowed by our Creator that the federal government was created to secure. These inalienable rights are superior to every authority of government.
The Second Amendment denies the federal government any authority to infringe the right of the people to keep and bear arms. There are no caveats regarding who can keep and bear or what arms they can keep and bear. The 14th Amendment extends these prohibitions to state and local governments. Article VI of the Constitution demands all U.S. laws and treaties comply with the Constitution.
Therefore, there is no political entity in the U.S. that has any authority to infringe any of these inalienable rights.
“When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear government there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms, is as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
The founders stipulated the right to keep and bear arms is what secures all other liberties. It should be remembered that American citizen-soldiers, using primarily their personal weapons, defeated the most powerful, experienced and well-equipped military of their time in order to secure the liberty that in turn purchased the liberty of all who are free in the world today.
