    Gun control isn’t about guns

    Gun control isn’t about guns

    The NRA exists to promote the right to bear arms and teach people about firearms and safety. However, in recent years, due to increased pressure from anti-gunners, it has expanded into politics and legislation to defend the Second Amendment against ongoing efforts by anti-gunners who are out to attain the ultimate prize — total gun confiscation (although they don’t admit to it in public).

    As Americans, we are fortunate to have a magnificent Constitution and Bill of Rights giving us unalienable rights and freedoms emanating from God. However, with those rights come responsibilities; and with that we must defend those rights and liberties against the efforts of others who mistakenly believe all rights come only from government, because any government big enough to give you what you want is big enough to take it away; and once liberty is lost, it’s lost forever.

    Part of defending liberty includes acquiring knowledge of our history concerning the founding of our nation, our founding documents and the lives of its founders. If we were to examine that history we would discover that the founders were students of history, of human nature, of the Bible and of the great philosophers. A study of their quotes in itself is an important lesson, for it was Thomas Jefferson in 1816 that said; “If a nation expects to be ignorant….and free….in a state of civilization, it expects what never was, and never will be.”

    So you see, the NRA and its members are lawfully defending the Second Amendment as written into the Bill of Rights. They know that gun control isn’t about guns — it’s about control. They know that guns are a deterrent to crime. Defending the right to bear arms is defending the God-given right of self-defense and is a patriot’s right and duty.

    The beauty of the Constitution is that it can be amended by the people to repeal anything, including the Second Amendment. However, Thomas Jefferson also said: “The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it away.”

    Always has been, and always will be, about control of people, not control of guns.
    No clause in the constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.
