For those of you that have a neighbor that wants guns banned, please print this yard sign and display it in your front yard. I believe that this would deter more violations of our Constitutional Second Amendment.

SECOND AMENDMENT YARD SIGN

So let’s discuss the meaning of the Second Amendment. 

Amendment II

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.

Let’s start with the end, the most important part – “shall not be infringed”

Infringed is defined as:

•  (transitive) Break or violate a treaty, a law, a right etc.

•  (intransitive) Break in or encroach on something.

In the context of the Constitution, phrases like “shall not be infringed,” “shall make no law,” and “shall not be violated” sound pretty unbendable, but the Supreme Court has ruled that some laws can, in fact, encroach on these phrases. For example, though there is freedom of speech, you cannot slander someone; though you can own a pistol, you cannot own a nuclear weapon.

Yes, with all rights come responsibilities, and maybe we do need some rights defined, but not changed or altered. The Supreme Court’s power is to define laws, they have no legal powers to make or alter laws as we are seeing them do lately. Common sense restrictions to our rights may be needed but the words “shall not be infringed” have all the powers that one can interpret.

So let”s next define what “militia” means.

“Every able-bodied freeman, between the ages of sixteen and fifty, is enrolled in the militia.

The law requires every militia-man to provide himself with the arms usual in the regular service.”

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, Quivery

“Our attention should be fixed on the safety of our country. For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so,

a well-organized and armed militia [citizens] is their best security.”

Jefferson, Eight Annual Message, Nov. 8, 1888.

The U.S. code defines militia

1. The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32 , under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

2. The classes of the militia are:

• the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia

• the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia

So the Sovereign State’s National Guard is part of each sovereign State’s Militia. The National Guard of each of the Sovereign States is not owned by the Federal government.

The Federal Government has absolutely no power to pull the Sovereign State’s National Guard out of those Sovereign States to fight a war on foreign soil.

The following is a power of the Federal Government directly from the Constitution:

“To provide for the calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrection and repel Invasions.”

• Is Iraq or Afghanistan under the jurisdiction of, or violating, the Laws of the Union?

• Is Iraq or Afghanistan under the jurisdiction of, or violating, any Laws of Insurrection?

• Has Iraq or Afghanistan Invaded our soil and needs to be repelled?

• Why has the Federal Government yanked the Sovereign State’s National Guard from the Sovereign States and sent them to foreign soils?

• Why is the Federal Government using its military to carry out Martial Law type military maneuvers in our Sovereign States under the disguise of protecting us?

• Why isn’t the Federal Government limiting its foreign wars to its own military resources and leaving our National Guard home in their respective states to protect their respective states?

These are questions that all Americans need to be concerned with. No matter what a person’s justification is to the laws of our union which have been broken. They are still just that, LAWS, and they have been broken.

No “Articles in Amendment” to the Constitution stand alone and each can only be properly understood with reference to what it is that each Article in Amendment amended in the body of the original Constitution.

Also these “Articles in Amendment” were more commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights of the People, not the Government.

The Constitution was first submitted to Congress on September 17, 1787 with no amendments.

Our founding fathers were well educated in history and knew that no country in the past had long lasting freedom with a powerful central government. They knew that the powers of the central government needed limitations to insure that future Americans remained free.

After much debate, it was determined that the States would not adopt the Constitution as originally submitted until “further declamatory and restrictive clauses should be added” “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its (the Constitutions) powers”. (This quote is from the Preamble to the Amendments, which was adopted along with the Amendments but is mysteriously missing from nearly all modern copies.) The first ten Amendments were not ratified and added to the Constitution until December 15, 1791.

The Preamble to The Bill of Rights

Congress of the United States begun and held at the City of New-York,

on Wednesday the fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine.

The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution,

expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers,

that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added:

And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government,

will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America,

in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring,

that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States,

as amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all, or any of which Articles,

when ratified by three fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes,

as part of the said Constitution; viz.

Articles in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America,

proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States,

pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.

So back to the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment is amending the provisions in the Constitution applying to the “Militia”.

The States were not satisfied with the powers granted to the “militia” as defined in the original Constitution and required an amendment to “prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers.” (Again quoting from the Preamble to the Amendments.)

What was it about the original Constitutional provisions concerning the “Militia” that was so offensive to the States?

First understand that the word “militia” was used with more than one meaning at the time of the penning of the Constitution. One popular definition used then was one often quoted today that the “Militia” was every able bodied man owning a gun.

As true as this definition is, it only confuses the meaning of the word “militia” as used in the original Constitution that required the Second Amendment to correct it. The only definition of “Militia” that had any meaning to the States demanding Amendments is the definition used in the original Constitution. What offended the States then should offend “People” today.

“Militia” in the original Constitution as amended by the Second Amendment is first found in:

Article 1, Section 8, clause 15, where Congress is granted the power:

“To provide for the calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrection and repel Invasions.”

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 16 further empowers Congress:

“To provide for the organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;”

Any “patriot” out there still want to be called a member of the “Militia” as defined in the Articles of the Constitution?

Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 empowers:

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;”

The only way the States would accept the “Militia” as defined in the original Constitution was that the “Militia” be “Well Regulated”.

The States realized that “The security of a free state” required that the “Militia” as originally created in the Constitution be “Well Regulated” by a “restrictive clause.”

How did the States decide to insure that the Constitutional “Militia” be “Well Regulated”? By demanding that “restrictive clause two” better known as the “Second Amendment” be added to the original Constitution providing:

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

The States knew that “People” with “Arms” would “Well Regulate” the “Militia”!

Now read for the first time with the full brightness of the Light of truth:

Amendment II

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.

For those still overcome by propaganda: The Second Amendment declares by implication that if the “Militia” is not “Well regulated” by “People” keeping and bearing arms, the “Militia” becomes a threat to the “Security of a Free State.”

The “Militia” has no “Right to Keep and Bear Arms” in the Second Amendment, rather it is only “The Right of the People” “To Keep and Bear Arms (that) Shall not be Infringed.”

So what have we learned here about the Second Amendment?

Does the Second Amendment give the people the right to own a gun so they can go hunting?

I don’t see that anywhere in the Second Amendment but at the same time I don’t see where it says that they can not own a gun to go hunting.

Does the Second Amendment give the people the right to own a gun to protect their own home or their own family from harm?

I don’t see that anywhere in the Second Amendment but at the same time I don’t see where it says that they can not own a gun to protect themselves.

The writers of the constitution were the people that were in power at the time they were writing it. They studied past civilizations and understood that the greatest threat to a free country was the government having all the power.

Our founding fathers had seen throughout history the loss of freedoms by overpowering governments having the “Arms” (not just guns) and pointing them at their citizens to control those citizens.

So to insure the freedom of the United States in the future, they wrote in to the constitution the right of the people to arm themselves against their own government “to the security of a free state”.

THIS INCLUDED THE CITIZENS OF THAT TIME TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO POINT THEIR ARMS (WEAPONS) AT THE PEOPLE WRITING THE CONSTITUTION!

The Second Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. The Second Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with protecting homes.

Our founding fathers gave us a legal guarantee that we had the right to point “Arms” back at our Federal Government for the “Security of a Free State”. This guarantee will last only as long as “We the People” recognize that the Second Amendment needs to remain intact and unchanged.

Everyday we are sickened by the news of how the government (our so called justice system) allows murderers to walk on the streets. WHY? One reason is that our jails are full of drug users.

Number one: is drug use really a worse crime than murder?

I don’t think I need to answer this one.

Number two: are the drug laws really constitutional or are they just another manifestation of the government’s power over our lives?

Simple answer is: there is absolutely nothing in the U.S. Constitution supporting that the Federal Government can make a law about any drug. It is clearly left to the states to set their own regulations.

I recently saw on television that in California, a merchant selling Medical Marijuana was under scrutiny by the local authorities. This merchant was breaking no California laws. The Merchant was following all regulations on how he was handling and selling his products.

The tyrannical local law enforcer, gave up on stopping him with local laws so he asked the Federal law enforcers to step in and they destroyed the man’s business and life. He has been sentenced to a quite lengthy jail stay. Both the local law enforcer and the federal law enforcers are the ones that need to be thrown in jail.

And back to the issue about the murderers getting back on the streets.

It is time to start killing the killers!!!

Stop your bleeding heart liberalism from thinking these people must have had a bad life and that they can be rehabilitated. If they have no value on life, demonstrated by purposefully, not accidentally, taking of another’s life, THEN KILL THEM.

And kill them next week, not ten years from the crime. And anyone, including the prosecuting attorneys, that hold false witness or hold evidence that is found latter that could have proved them innocent, KILL THEM TOO! They also have committed murder.

STOP BLAMING THE GUNS!!!!

Right now Obama is pushing to institute taxes on firearms and ammunition in an attempt to tax them both out of existence.

Taxing Arms is an infringement of our rights. Obama’s fight to tax our arms is an infringement upon our Constitutional rights. This infringement is a break of his oath. Breaking his oath is an impeachable offense, it is borderline treason.

Stop forming your opinion on what you hear on the Lying Trash Media channels.

Stop listing to the brain-dead zombies in Hollywood, they are complete idiots.

These institutions are laughing at your ignorance of following them like Lemmings over the cliff.

PROTECT YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BEFORE THEY ARE GONE AND IT IS TOO LATE!

PROTECT ALL OF THEM !!!!!!!!!!
