      XPost: sac.politics, alt.california, ca.politics       XPost: ny.politics, nyc.politics       From: Intelligent@savetheworldmsn.com              Where In The Constitution, Does It Say, The Right To Infringe Upon The Right To       Keep And Bear Arms, Shall Not Be Infringed?              Arms should at most be regarded as burglary tools for a burglar, and gasoline       for       a terrorist, that is, if there is no mal-intent suspected, they are 100% legal.              Banning arms, in the United States, Mexico, or Britain, is fascist bigotry, a       crime against humanity, because weapons are, just plain, not wrong.              The Constitution doesn't say that children can't bear weapons. But someone is       saying that children are as dead as rocks. Ageism is a crime. Guardian-Ward =       Warden-Ward = Abuser-Abused. We're all fraternal twins in my family. Friends       don't punish each other. People aren't psychopaths, but good at heart. Yet       psychopaths abuse humans, and make them psychopaths.                     "What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a       standing army, the bane of liberty ....       Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people,       they       always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their       ruins."       - Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts              "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in       almost every country in Europe." - Noah Webster              "I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few       politicians."       - George Mason (father of the Bill of Rights and The Virginia Declaration of       Rights)              "This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty....       The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it       has       been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits       possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to       keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited,       liberty,       if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."       - St. George Tucker              “A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined,       but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain       a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them,       which would include their own government.” - George Washington              "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.       A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms,       is       the best and most natural defense of a free country." - James Madison              "The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United       States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."       - Samuel Adams              "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who       approaches       that jewel.       Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force.       Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined....       The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a       gun."       - Patrick Henry              "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."       - U.S. Constitution, Second Amendment       https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-2/              "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in       Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the       Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the       Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or       Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."       - U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2       https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-6/clause-2/              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
