The US constitution is written in plain english. It is not difficult to intrepret. We need to replace judges who think we cannot read or reason. |

Fascinating isn't it?. The individuals who whish to completly controll everything just will not stop will they? Well judge, we do have the right to bear arms and you can not change that. Bet you would just love to get rid of that pesky 2nd Ammendment, wouldn't you? I am the proud woner of a Mossberg shotgun, and if you want it you are going to have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. The Government does not have the right to Dictate how the individual will live his life. In fact when the Government was set up it's only powers that were granted to it by the governing bodies of the 13 Colonies was to regulate fair commerce trade between the States, and to maintain armed forces to protect the States against military invasion from foreign powers.
Also, at the time their was no industrial complex in existance in this country. The great vast majority of the population lived in the country, and the only way people had to get food was to raise it and kill it. You did not go down to Cub Foods or Rainbow Foods or any other grocerie store to get your meat because there were no grocerie stores. You got meat by killing it with your bow or your gun. Gun control was already starting to become an issue in Europe, and this is one of the reasons why Congress created the 2nd Ammendment, to insure the individuals' right to bear arms as this would also ensure his ability to protect himself and provide for his family. History bears out in great detail that when the citizens allow the government to take their guns away, the government then proceeds to abuse the citizenry of that country. Recent proof-Bosnia 1995. The mass killings and civil war that started there and that was basically ended by us was precipitated by a massive gun ban instituted by the gvernment of that country. As soon as the citizenry turned in their guns, Milichovich started massacring them. And in this country- Ruby Ridge and Waco. Those tragedies could have been completely avoided, but they had some guns and the Government did not want them to have them, so people had to die for it. Besides, if you ban guns, only the law abiding citizens are going to turn them in. The criminals will not. In fact, armed crimes will surge dramatically if guns are banned. Don't believe me? It happened in Britain. Guns were banned their, and armed crimes jumped 300 percent in the following year becaus the crooks knew the victims would not be armed because they were gullibly obeying the law. |

It goes the complete opposite from the 5th Circuit Ruling on 10 Oct 2001 that gun ownership IS a constitutional right |
