Amendment
The first thing you need to know about the Second Amendment
is that without it there would be no Constitution and without
a Constitution, there is no United States. It’s that simple.
Everything else is garnish. That’s why President Donald J. Trump has
made his stance on the Second Amendment direct and unequivocal:
“The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the
people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.”
Does everyone agree with that? No.
The question is, “Why?”
The answer is simple: Power.
Don’t think so?
Let’s see what three 20th-Century Tyrants, two Fascists and a
Communist said:
Adolf Hitler: “History shows that all conquerors who have allowed
their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall
by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of
arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any
sovereignty.”
Benito Mussolini: “On the morrow of each conflict I gave the
categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of
weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues
with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results.”
Mao Tse Tung: “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns
can ever be used to command the party.”
The three quotes above clarify the genuine threat gun-owners face;
the three quotes below add depth and breadth to the conversation:
“The Second Amendment
to our Constitution is
clear. The right of the
people to keep and bear
Arms shall not be
infringed upon. Period.”
– Donald Trump
“When the history of the 20th Century is finally written, one of its
key features will be the wanton slaughter of more than 170 million
people, not in war, but by their own government. The governments
that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the
Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is
that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of
reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the
people were first disarmed.” – Walter E. Williams, Author, Economist,
Emeritus Trustee at Grove City College and the Reason Foundation.
“Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Idi Amin, Castro, Pol Pot, all these
monsters began by confiscating private arms, then literally soaking
the earth with the blood of tens and tens of millions of their people...
There can be no free speech, no freedom of the press, no freedom
to protest, no freedom to worship your god, no freedom to speak
your mind, no freedom from fear, no freedom for your children and
for theirs, for anybody, anywhere, without the Second Amendment
freedom to fight for it.” – Charlton Heston, Actor, Civil Rights Activist,
President of the NRA from 1998-2003.
