You Have the Right to Defend Yourself with a Gun
As a kid growing up during the middle portion of the 20th century, nobody ever asked me if I felt that I had the right to defend myself. Why? Because it was understood that everyone had the right to defend themselves, regardless of the circumstances.
My parents taught me to never start a fight. When I would get into the occasional scrap on the playground, they wanted to know how it began. If I started the fight, I’d be punished. If I was merely defending myself, my parents were proud of me for standing up for myself.
But somewhere along the line, things have gotten messed up. The mind-numbingly naïve liberal mindset has twisted everything around, and this is one of those things. They have somehow managed – despite all logic to the contrary – to turn perpetrators into victims and victims into perpetrators.
The United Nations is a prime example of an organization that has lost its way due to having a series of liberals at the wheel. Not too long ago, the U.N.’s Human Rights Council said that there is no right to self-defense.
These geniuses declared that it is a human rights violation for a government to allow a person to use a firearm in self-defense against a rapist or other criminal who is not attempting homicide, at least at that moment.
Even someone with only a fifth grade education understands that this is total crap.
Basically, what they are trying to accomplish with this warped philosophy is to eliminate guns. If defending yourself or a loved one against a rapist means killing them with a gun, the U.N. and other bleeding heart liberals will say that self-defense is not warranted.
Right. I guess next time that happens I will politely ask the rapist to stop. And if he doesn’t, I’ll just throw up my hands and say, “Oh well, I tried.”
Now, I know you’re too smart to believe the nonsense that comes out of the mouths of folks that want us all to hand over our guns. But it can’t hurt to toss a reminder out there once in a while.
Let’s review the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for a moment, shall we? It reads, in part, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Friends, don’t ever give up your guns! Keep them clean, store them carefully and train yourself to use them responsibly.
And because we live in a society where liberal voices are getting louder, hide the guns you don’t think you’ll have use for in the near future. Because it’s just a matter of time before somebody tries to take them away from you, whether it’s a home invader or a misguided law enforcement officer.
Regardless of what the Obama Administration says, regardless of what your local politicians say and regardless of what the United Nations says, you have the right to defend yourself, your family and your home with a gun.
Don’t ever forget it and don’t ever give in.
The second amendment as en-shrined in the first ten amendments in the Bill of Rights to the Constitution are unaliable rights given by our creator and as such cannot be erased by any law or government.
The Founders intent was for the 2nd to protect all of our other rights for a final line of defense against a tyrannical government.. What part of shall not infringe do they not understand!
When that time comes be warned I swore a sacred Oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies both foreign and domestic. I intend to keep said oath!
Bless you..those who beat their guns on plows…will plow for those who don’t…I learned self preservation as a sperm…I’m not giving what I got up so easy!
The Rights that we Americans enjoy are volatile, combustible, emotional, and uncontrollable. That is why they were made rights.
The Government, any Government, wants to maintain control over its citizens only to service the Government or its resources. The elitist always wants slaves to serve them; even if they are wage slaves.
By limiting, changing the laws and rules to your God Given Rights can the Government hope to place the mass majority of you people under its control. Case in point, California and a few other States just changed the law to purchase ammunition. You will need to have a background check, the Department of Justice authorization to purchase ammunition, prohibits possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines, and establishes procedures for enforcing laws prohibiting firearm possession by specified persons. As fate would have it – it passed by the idiots that really didn’t read or understand what was being said to them. The vagueness in how this was stated, which I stated word for word, will come back to haunt the people in California. Now the rest of the Country will see if it sticks and if it does then your State will be next.
Really, I have to get permission from the DOJ? Large-capacity magazines? Does that men nothing over 5 rounds, or ten rounds, what???
This is how the Government works. They depend on human nature to fail to do their due diligence, to educate itself on important matters. To have or Government representatives really represent their constituents. To remove any freedom/rights is to have control over the masses.
It is time for their come-up-one’s, wouldn’t you say?
Growing up “out west” in the 1950’s was so different than it is now. During hunting season everyone had a gun rack in their pick up trucks, and some times they were even driven to high school with guns in place because you were needed at home during lunch for some “chores”. Can you imagine that today?
I had a history teacher who asked me to bring an army issue .45 to school for part of a lesson about world war 2.
Oh my, how things have changed!
Back then you were taught to use and RESPECT firearms. Now, young people are taught to FEAR them. Where are we headed?
Down the tubes.
I was a Cub Scout, Weblow, and Boy Scout. At a Christmas Party while in Weblow’s we were given a Boy Scout knife. I was proud of my Christmas gift from my Den Father’s. On Monday’s I would wear my Scout Uniform, you see Monday’s were meeting days for scouts, along with my knife hanging on a clip on my belt for all to see. I can still remember several of my teachers commenting on my knife and how nice it looked. Same scenario today and not only would the child be locked up on charges but the parents would be in jail for endangering the welfare of a child. The world has changed for the worse.
They can take my gun from my dead hand is how they will get my gun!
Don’t put them to the test – because they will take your weapon from your cold dead hands. If they shoot black people; what makes you think that they wouldn’t shoot you too, no matter what colour you are?
Not if we get them first and i would rather die free than live under tyranny.
ok folks, check the USC code from 1903, namely title 10, section 311 defines the non-military ages of militia members while Title 32, section 313 deals with people who have served in the military. You will find that the majority of adults in the U.S. are qualified for the militia and thus are allowed to keep and bear arms (also a GREAT anti- gun argument where they try to tell you that guns are only meant for militia members). You might also remind them that there was also a 30 shot rifle available at the time AND that the average man could also OWN any size of cannon that he could afford ( who says you can’t own rocket launchers ?)
Good to know.
