    Should history guide our understanding of gun control?

    Should history guide our understanding of gun control?

    The Second Amendment of the Constitution states: “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.”

    Having just won a war against the superior British Army, the Founding Fathers understood the dangers of a potentially tyrannical government who wielded significantly more power than the people it served. They understood that if the people did not have the ability to defend themselves from this kind of government, there was a chance that the country could end up in the same position they had found themselves in with the British government. And having witnessed the outcome of a war with a superior force, they did not want this to be a possible outcome.

    Thus, the Second Amendment.

    Interesting!

    George Mason was one of the two (the junior) to write the bill of rights, along with James Madison (both from Virginia).

    But he also refused to sign the completed Constitution before presentation for ratification, his name doesn't appear on it.


    I know, it is only an opinion peace.

    Too late. The American people are already disarmed and enslaved by the government who, in turn, is enslaved by its debt. After all, the borrower is servant to the lender.

    L. Ron Hubbard, Daffy Duck or Foghorn Leghorn would have about the same credibility.

    No matter who he was, he was closer to the truth than many realize (and he was simply referencing a truth few would be willing to acknowledge and even more would refuse to look at - Here is a very short synopsis:

    http://www.apfn.org/apfn/fed_reserve.htm

    (There are documented references and Congressional records to prove the above available to anyone who wants to be shocked, but knowing about them and changing them are at opposite ends of any imagined spectrum)

    The Fed's PROFIT is simple - Collected DEBT they themselves create and control according to the Warburg - Rothschild system. And we have nothing to say about it.
