The Second Amendment Moves Forward
By Rob Hood (04/01/06)
The issue of Second Amendment rights is one I feel very strongly about this day in age. Yes I am still concerned about the culture war and the war on Christianity right here in America, but the same people on the left that want your Christian traditions and values dead want your traditional American Second Amendment rights dead as well.
The rights of law abiding Americans almost went extinct under the Clinton administration. There was always a constant battle against Second Amendment rights and the Brady laws didn't help the matter much. Well, that was then when we had a president and his followers who were far left of center. Now we have a president who seeks to do what is right no matter the opposition. President Bush has been a blessing to both traditional conservatives who fought to ban partial birth abortion and other atrocities and has even been a bigger blessing to the American people by upholding the United States Constitution in its original format. In other words he is an originalist and has put two originalists on the Supreme Court who will interpret the law according to OUR constitution and not some foreign law mandated by the UN.
The UN has been itching to ban guns worldwide and has run a pretty good campaign of deception in England, Canada, and Australia. People here in the United States have refused to listen to the UN when it comes to Second Amendment rights because the UN does not have the authority to change our laws. That's up to our elected leaders, not a foreign diplomat. I still say John Bolton was the best thing to happen to the UN in a long time. I hope he sets them straight on what they can and cannot control and that is Americans' right to bear arms under the Second Amendment.
I have never been prouder of the National Rifle Association than I am right now. In many states there has been new legislation passed to guarantee a citizen the right to self defense without prosecution which is the way it should be. Under the Clinton Administration the attacker went free while the defender was prosecuted. Not anymore! Now things are like they should be. The right to self defense is so logical that a first grader could understand it, yet some still oppose it. Right now something called the Castle Doctrine is sweeping the nation. This is the proposed legislation to protect one's self during a hostile situation - like attack, robbery, or rape. Any lady out there should be able to legally defend herself with deadly force if necessary against a rapist. That is exactly what the Castle Doctrine is all about. So far it has passed in my home state of Mississippi and is to be voted on in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire,Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Washington, and Wyoming. This act started in Florida. It was because of the NRA that this superb legislation has occurred.
The far left and the UN are appalled by this action of freedom and it shows. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has started an all out war against the Second Amendment and the Brady bunch are right behind him. They all claim that illegal gun sales are what is making crime so high. However, research shows that whenever gun bans are passed crime rates soar. Look at London. It has a higher crime rate now than it ever did when firearms where in the hands of responsible law abiding citizens. Former (isn't that great!)liberal leader Paul Martin from Canada cost his country $2 billion dollars on a failed gun ban policy that did nothing at all for the crime rate. As a matter of fact the crime rate has been steadily escalating since his failed policies.
According to the NRA this July 4, there will be a major event happen. Billionaire liberals like George Soros and many left wing anti-gun activists and so called animal rights activists will put together a plan to sabotage freedom guaranteed to us by our founding fathers. Their choice of this sickening parade of silly conspiracy theorists could not have come at a worse time. July 4 is Independence Day. On this day in 1776 we gained our independence so that we could be free and now our own people are trying to destroy the rights given to us by our founders with the help of a very corrupt regime known as the United Nations.
The UN has repeatedly made itself known as an organization that cannot be fully trusted. Remember the supposed sanctions on Iraq after the first gulf war? What sanctions? Most of the Un was helping Saddam, not sanctioning him. In the midst of the war on terror, we found out why they were so opposed to the war in Iraq. They were embarrassed by their dealing with Saddam in the food for oil scandal. France helped him. So did Russia. Russia is still the enemy of the US. They still are helping the Iranians with their nuclear ambitions. Are these the people you want controlling your laws? The UN already wants control of the internet so it can limit free speech. If the UN gains control of the internet, it will be against the law for you to read this article. If they can do that with free speech, think how paranoid the UN must be over armed civilians.
My friends, the 2006 election is nearing and we need to maintain a majority of leaders who have a respect for the law and for the original writings to the United States Constitution. The Second Amendment was given to us as a gift of freedom from our founding fathers who knew what they wanted and how they wanted to live. They fought hard to pursue their dreams of freedom and so should you and I. Don't let liberal gun hating politicians from either the UN or the US tell you what to do. Let's tell them what to do in November as we elect someone to replace their hate filled ideologies and crazed conspiracy theories with true freedom that our founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the Second Amendment.
