Guns A-Blazin'

Let's cut right to the chase at the very outset. The Founders of this Republic believed that all citizens should be armed as the best means of preventing government tyranny, including our own. They also believed that the rights enumerated in the First Amendment were secured and protected by an armed citizenry.

Now that we have that much out of the way, let's move on to another step.

Since the Founders believed these things and included gun rights in the Bill of Rights to be protected as one of the 'unalienable rights' of citizens, all of our so-called 'reasonable restrictions' on gun rights are illegal.

The common argument, for example, in favor of gun control compares firearms registration with getting a driver's license. But the two cannot be compared because getting a driver's license is not a Constitutional right but a privilege granted by states. Keeping and bearing firearms is not a privilege granted by anyone. It is an absolute right as stated in the Constitution.

OK, so we have dropped the ball in allowing encroachments upon this unalienable right ever since the 1940s. We refused to mount a serious fight against gun control in all forms. We did not draw a line in the sand, and even if we did, we didn't force those who crossed that line to suffer any measurable consequence.

That day is quickly drawing to an end.

Citizens around this nation who are perceptive and aware enough to know that under the current administration and Congress our rights are in grave danger are beginning to wake up to the fact that a day of reckoning may be approaching.

And, as the 'run on the gun shops' is proving, the citizens in record numbers are getting prepared not only to draw a line in the sand but to force those who cross that line to pay for their actions.

Never again will we allow the forces of anti-freedom in this country to encroach upon a God-given, Constitution-protected right. We have learned our lesson from our failures of the past. And we are ready.

Here we stand.
