Alright, this my first thread I have started, and I have researched through the Archives and seen nothing resent on this topic, so here goes:
Your are sitting in the room with are fore-fathers and the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is about to be written. I am sure they all look at each other and discussed the language and the thoughts each person had. What do you think it truely means and where do you think their mindsets were, given the time and place.
I will start, as I have thought about it alot lately with the turmoil around the globe.
I feel, knowing what I have learned in history, that the fathers concluded that in order to keep from Oligarchy to occur in this countty, they concurred that weapons had to be legal for the common man.
Our fore-fathers in theroy, did in fact commit certain acts of terromism against Brittian in the onstart of the war. (ie, Boston tea Party, etc.) Of coarse this had to take place in order for us to have such great freedom today. Firearms were insturmental in this effort. So what gives certain people the right to commit such acts, killings, and war to justify how they felt the country should be lead. Its obivious to me that the 2nd Amendment was made to threaten and intimdate any goverment that attempts to override the rights of a person. I do HONESTLY believe that the fathers did write and do the things they did in the best intrest of the common man. In other words, it gives the teeth to the people. Another question of intrest, when does it allow people to revolt against the goverment and use deadly force against them? Now I am not advocating people to take up arms and march, but I do want to know what are thought processes among pro gun advocates on the subject. Brittian labeled our fore-fathers terrorist to some extent, and they did break the law in order to become free. At what point do you justify the use of force against the powers to be? Brittain didn't committ acts of genocide on the Americas. Most of the issues were taxes and lack of religous freedom. I see are rights and freedoms slowly being taken away from us, and was wondering at what point do you feel is enough is enough?
These are really tough questions, and they will generate responses that will be coated with PC answers. I am looking for honest thought, and I would strongly urge people not consider writting anything illegal.
