Over the past several months we have all discussed topics on gun control. Gun control is something we all pretty much agree to hate.
We also discuss the right to carry and reasonable restrictions. These are two subjects that get a lot of different opinions. I for one try to read everyones opinion with the effort to undersrtand what my fellow man believes in. So far nobody has convinced me that regulations and reasonable restrictions benefit the public. No proof has been shown to support this idea, nor has anyone provided factual information that disarming and regulating the honest public prevents crime.
One word I use to describe regulation and restrictions on rights is " Elitist". I feel as if people dont want everyone to share the same rights as they have , thus denying the 14th amendment to all freemen. The ratification of the 14th amendment was the reason Texans lost thier right to carry. The Texas Constitution was amended by E.J. Davis to create Gun Control in the State Of Texas. Today, those amendment still apply.
Some argue that reasonable restrictions are Constitutional. Lets look to our founding father to define and debate this subject!
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington
First President of the United States
When I read Mr. Washingtons quote, I understand what he meant because I smile when I look at my guns. They are precious to me and are truly an honor to have.
"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; … "
Thomas Jefferson
letter to Justice John Cartwright, June 5, 1824. ME 16:45.
Thomas Jefferson is one of my favorite sources for information about the 2nd amendment. No matter who debates restrictions, gun control, or states rights to enforce those restrictions, Thomas Jefferson has already established the foundation for those debates. When people voice their opinion on my rights, I look to Thomas Jefferson for answers. So fare, everyone has been wrong and any opinions that allow restricitons on my rights are not valid with the effort my founding fathers made for me.
" With a view to prevent crime"
I often study this subject to try and find one good reason why legislature should regulate the wearing of arms. My honest opinion, I think they should. I also think they have no right at all to create laws that restrict the rights of honest Texans that have not committed any crimes. This subject leaves me with one opinion, the opinion that Law Makers need to regulate criminals and leave the honest man alone.
"The ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake."
Malcolm Wallop
former U.S. Sen. (R-WY)
When I read this, I understand why Wyoming has better right to carry laws than Texas.
This quote makes a lot of sence when I read the infringement that E.J. Davis established on Texans.
" Reasonable Restrictions Apply"
If you believe rights of honest citizens should be restricted, then go ahead and sign up with this gaggle of numbnuts!
Pro Gun Control
"Our main agenda is to have all guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort the facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
Sara Brady
Chairman, Handgun Control Inc, to Senator Howard Metzenbaum
The National Educator, January 1994, Page 3.
"If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things." "This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
Adolph Hitler
Chancellor, Germany, 1933
" No argument from me"
