The Second Amendment

The Second Amendment was made the second amendment for a reason. It is not only the bulwark against tyranny and despotism, but also a means of protecting all of our other rights. It would seem the wisdom of our founding fathers was sound. They made it second, in case the first amendment didn’t get the job done.

 
Some people have been trained to fear firearms, and that’s okay. Those people cannot be required to identify themselves as ‘unarmed’. The facts are in, when the average Citizen is armed, crime drops dramatically and governments are kept in check. When the criminals can’t determine who is and who is not armed, they have a strong tendency to seek out new venues or new vocations. It would appear that those of a criminal or destructive bent do not bother to read or heed the law, but they are cowards on the whole.

One Little, Two Little, Three Little Guns Laws….

One little, two little, three little gun laws.
Four little, five little six little guns laws.
Seven little, eight little, nine little gun laws…
we have 10,000 gun laws now!

Catchy jingle, huh?

Maybe, but a very sad testament to what was once an America that respected the absolute natural Right of the individual to protect themselves, their families, their communities, and yes, even their country.

For a long time, I would click over to a website that was simply a camera trained on a configuration of steel and wood. I think it was or is called “357.com”. I would watch carefully for any sign of movement, maybe I’d be the one to witness the moment when it would jump up and wreck havoc upon the whole of mankind.
