ORIGINAL: Nnanji Let's see, you enter my property in the middle of the night to take things that I've traded parts of my productive life to acquire. How about that? Maybe, you confront me and/or my family and threaten physical harm in order to literally frighten me into giving you stuff that I've worked portions of my life to have. How about that? simple: The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "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." As I posted earlier the Second Amendment was born of thirteen states who did not trust each other and who lived in fear of Britain and of France. From that view of history it is an antiquated concept. Other than hunting, sport, and bank robbing I fail to see its utility after the closing of the western frontier at the end of the 19th Century. The self protection paranoia is nurtured by the availability of so many guns. Now, please, I am not advocating the taking of all guns. I think we are past that remedy. And I can understand the hunting and sportsmanship aspects. I can feel that. But the self defense against the Washington "dictatorship" is just bullshit, imo. So why did you impasse the premise? Have you read and do you understand the declaration of independence? You can wipe your ass with a declaration, kingy never signed off title to anything lol The history of the present King of [USA] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these [people] To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. 1) [The US and its states] has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2) [The US and its states] has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. 3) [The US and its states] has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. 4) [The US and its states] has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. 5) [The US and its states] has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. 6) [The US and its states] has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. 7) [The US and its states] has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. 8) [The US and its states] has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. 9) [The US and its states] has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. 10) [The US and its states] has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 11) [The US and its states] has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 12) [The US and its states] has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 13) [The US and its states] has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 14) [The US and its states] For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 15) [The US and its states] For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: 16) [The US and its states] For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 17) [The US and its states] For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 18) [The US and its states] For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 19) [The US and its states] For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences 20) [The US and its states] For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: 21) [The US and its states] taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 22) [The US and its states] suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. 23) [The US and its states] has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 24) [The US and its states] has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. 25) [The US and its states] is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. 26) [The US and its states] has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. 27) [The US and its states] has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. 28) In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. 29) We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. 30) We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. There you go, lets see how many you can come up with that have NOT occurred in todays gubblmint. I even numbered them for you to meake it easy.
