Second Amendment Speech in U.S. Senate, by Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho), June 16, 2000

"...Among the safeguards of these fundamental rights, we find the Second Amendment. Let me read it clearly:
.
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.
.
I want to repeat that.
.
The second amendment of our Constitution says very clearly that 'A well regulated Militia' is 'necessary' for the 'security of a free State,' and that 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'....
.
Full speech here.

See, I told you so...

"A bill of rights is only an acknowledgment of the preëxisting claim to rights in the people. They belong to us as much as if they had been inserted in the Constitution."

Police & Military Against the New World Order

Police & Military Against the New World Order
Our association's singular goal is to prevent our brothers and sisters in uniform from being unwittingly used to enslave the people of free nations under the anti-God, anti-Freedom (United Nations-led) world government system.

We understand two most important points concerning the globalists' plan:

They intend to gain, through any available means, total dictatorial control over all the peoples of the world.

They cannot realize their goal if their would-be enforcers (we police and soldiers) refuse to assist them in their treachery.

Our motto spells out this truth:

IF POLICE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS WILL NOT ENFORCE TYRANNY, IT WILL NEVER BE ENFORCED!

“Agreed to found our Rights upon the Laws of Nature....”

You would think this would change some opinions, (if our legal system were operating as intended, that is).....

My sentiments exactly.....

"Depend upon it, that as the spirit of America has always risen with the successes of her enemies, they will not, on this occasion, throw away their arms, and ingloriously pass under the yoke of a nation whose conduct towards her has been marked by injustice and oppression in peace, and by malice and wanton barbarity in war."

No arguing with this....

The Right of Self-Defense

Turns out, our troubles have been going on a LONG time.....

'Documentary Proof of Self-Defense' By Bill Nye, Nov 1886

Journals of the Continental Congress....

"...The Board of War brought in a report, which was taken into consideration; Whereupon,
Congress came to the following resolution:
.
The Board taking into consideration the little effect of the reward offered in March last to such drafts as should bring firelocks &c with them into the field, reflecting too on the small number of arms and accoutrements in the public stores, are of opinion that larger reward should be proposed to the two new regiments ordered to be raised in Virginia and Pennsylvania, to induce them to come armed and accoutred; and beg leave to report--
.
Whereas, Congress, on the 2d day of May last, resolved that two regiments be raised in Virginia and Pensylvania, to serve for one year, and it is expedient that as many as possible of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers should provide themselves with arms and other necessaries:
Resolved, That each non-commissioned officer and soldier of the said regiment, who shall so provide himself with arms and other necessaries, shall receive the following compensations, to be paid as soon as he has passed muster, upon his producing the said articles, viz.
.
For a good serviceable rifle, with a powder horn, bullet pouch, and mould, eight dollars; for a good serviceable musket, with a bayonet and a powder horn, and bullet pouch, or a good cartouch box, six dollars; for a like musket and accoutrements, without a bayonet, five dollars; for a knapsack, two dollars; for a haversack, one dollar; for a blanket, eight dollars.1

Wan't there some clown that had written a book claiming that the early Americans didn't have many guns? And here we find Congress offering recruits to bring their OWN arms, and Congress will PAY them to do so? Hmmmmm......"
