The advantage of being armed

July 9, 2012

By

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is one the most misunderstood and most widely discussed of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights. Debate over the Second Amendment escalated in the late 20th century, when organizations lobbying for gun control in the United States found themselves debating pro-gun lobbies over the precise meaning of this Amendment, according to wisegeek.com.  The arguments which rage over this Amendment hinge on what exactly it means and who it is supposed to be referencing. Unfortunately for scholars who are interested in the Second Amendment debate, few Supreme Court cases have tested the Second Amendment, making it even more challenging to analyze the intent of these loaded words.

The text of the Second Amendment reads, in full: “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”Several other drafts of the Second Amendment change the capitalization and punctuation, although the text remains the same. The crux of the debate over the Second Amendment is whether or not it allows individual Americans to own weapons, specifically firearms, and, if so, what sort of firearms they can own.

According to ontheissues.org, Janet Napolitano has changed a lot from 2009 when she transitioned from being a Democratic Governor of Arizona to a Designee for Secretary of Homeland Security. She was asked, “What is your position on the second amendment?”She answered, “The right to bear arms is enumerated in the Constitution, and is therefore fundamental to the liberty interests of all Americans. I believe elected officials have a duty to ensure that these interests are not abridged. My position on the 2nd Amendment is simple: existing laws related to firearms and their possession are a sufficient framework by which to ensure the safety of all Arizonans. Rather than focusing on new legislation, we must first be vigilant in our enforcement of the laws that are on the books. We must step up outreach and education efforts to ensure that gun safety is at the top the agenda, and work together to mitigate tragic accidents that result from unsupervised firearm use by children. Parents talking to their children about gun safety and practicing gun safety in front of them will accomplish this goal, new legislation will not.” The source of this information came from her now-defunct campaign website, GoJanet.org, “Issues”, September 9, 2009. Now, however, she has gun control advocates and free American citizens in the cross hairs of the Department of Homeland Security.
The Experts Agree . . . Gun Control Works!
If the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty, a multilateral treaty that would internationally regulate conventional weapons, is signed by our government, Americans can find themselves in the position of being forced by our government to turn over privately-owned guns to satisfy the UN’s gun control. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton endorse this treaty that was rejected by George Bush.

 

Congressman Ron Paul

As a congressman, Ron Paul has never once voted for any piece of legislation that would infringe on gun owners’ rights or weaken the Second Amendment, according to ronpaul2012.com. The inalienable right to keep and bear arms is not only essential to a free society, but it is the guardian of every other right. During his time in Congress, Ron Paul has worked tirelessly to restore the Second Amendment rights of all Americans by:

* Introducing legislation to repeal the “Brady Bill” and the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban.”

* Authoring legislation to end U.S. membership in the anti-gun United Nations to ensure American tax dollars are not used to fund global gun control schemes like the so-called “Small Arms Treaty.”

* Writing a bill that would allow pilots and specially trained law enforcement personnel to carry firearms in order to protect airline passengers and help prevent future 9/11-style attacks.

With our gun rights under constant attack from our own government and the anti-gun United Nations, as well as the threat of rising crime due to our country’s economic woes, Congressman Paul believes it has never been more important that our President be 100% committed to defending our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
