Gun owners come armed with message - Washington Times

Gun owners come armed with message - Washington Times

The meaning of the 2nd Amendment as the Supreme Court has said is clear at least as far as a majority of Americans read the Constitution. But the fear of America's gun owners is tangibly real given the radical governance of the Obama Regime. In the space of 15 months Obama and his minions have managed to cause a large majority of Americans to lose trust in their own government. This feat by the most radical president in American history is shameful. But that's why they held rallies in Washington, DC, and in Virginia where they could legally carry their weapons. It wasn't a show of force to scare people or the government but an effort to raise the consciousness of citizens that having or carrying a weapon does not make a person a criminal nor are weapons intrinsically evil. Stop and think about the ramifications of weapons ownership and vehicle ownership then go look at the statistics.

The idea that honest citizens can be deprived the right to keep and bear arms thus denying them the right to self-defense is abhorrent. Self-defense is a right granted by our Creator and is thus unalienable and is not a right that is given by any government. As the Scottish patriot Andrew Fletcher said in 1698, "Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave."

Of course, liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats see it much differently. That's because their ultimate goal is the economic enslavement of We the People.
