The framers (inspired by John Locke) brainstormed like crazy to come up with a document which would set the US far apart from any other country in history (unfortunately the suggestion of term limits were rejected). Being under british rule left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Under the King's rules, one couldn't express him/herself freely, therefore they came up with the 1st amendment: right to free speech/expression/religion. The 2nd amendment (right to bear arms) was even more important, as it allows oneself to protect him/herself and property. The second amendment is crucial as it prevents a holocaust!! Isreal has definitely learned from history. Take a trip to isreal, and you'll see almost everyone walking the streets with AK-47s wrapped around their shoulders and pistols on their sides. When they say "never again" they mean it. Look at the other countries where it's constitution doesn't include a right to bear arms. They are sitting ducks for either a holocaust or a group of radical islamists wanting to wreck havoc.Winston wrote:I've been meaning to ask about something for a long time. I don't get the whole Gun Control debate. Why is everyone in the conspiracy movement, alternative media and all right wingers, libertarians and conservatives, against Gun Control so much? What is wrong with it?
Commies/socialists/fascists in american have been trying to repeal the 2nd amendment since the 60s (perhaps before then). As you know totalitarianists are nothing but bullies. Like a bully, they can't fight worth a damn and usually pick fights with weak opponents. They understand an armed society is one not to mess with. No one in their right mind would try to rob a police station or try something in a shooting range. They would rather go after soft targets such as a movie theater or any 'sanctuary' area. The no-gun zones are basically sitting duck zones. The communist agenda in the US since the 60s was to first get rid of guns. That is their biggest hurdle. Without banning guns, their plan to "fundamentally transform america" (as obama once said in his '08 campaign) will never have a chance. Commies are no fan of the US constitution. They hate it and must abolish it by any means necessary. Sharia Law is also incompatible with the US constitution. Therefore, communists and the muslim brotherhood have much in common. Btw, hilary rotten clinton is not only a card carrying communist (confirmed by former coworkers), she is also in bed with the muslim brotherhood! Just another reason to vote for Trump.
BEWARE when you here the phrase "gun control." First of all, when buying a gun, there is ALREADY an extremely thorough background check. This background check can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 48 hours! Keep in mind, you need a license to carry also. With the very detailed background check, why gun control (when they're already is one)? When liberals/progressives (phrases hijacked by commies) refer to gun control, that's code for gun ban!! Remember the commie agenda. France (a socialist country under Hollande) has some of the strictest "gun control" laws in the world. That's why their being attacked day in and day out. Of course the refugee crisis doesn't help it, but at least give the people the ability to protect themselves. But that's like doing something right.
