“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty.
The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”— Perri Nelson, February 9, 2010

The right of the people… shall not be infringed
Published Wed, Sep 30 2009 10:09 AM
Allegedly, we are a nation governed by laws, the United States Constitution being the supreme law of the land. We’re not supposed to be governed by special interests, no matter how “well meaning” they are. Nevertheless, it’s plain that we are not a nation governed by laws, but by the whim of a few. Take for example this part of our Constitution…
“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.” – United States Constitution – Amendment II – Proposed October 2, 1789 – Ratified December 15, 1791
If, as I noted and as it plainly states, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land then why is it that liberals in Congress are so willing to blatantly ignore it?
“IN GENERAL- It shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to possess a qualifying firearm on or after the applicable date, unless that person has been issued a firearm license” – H.R. 45 – Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 (Introduced in the House)
What part of “shall not be infringed” do our Congressmen not understand? Is it the two words “shall not?”
This bill, this abomination, should it ever pass into law PROHIBITS private sale of firearms, as well as requires the FEDERAL registry of all gun owners. Getting the LICENSE requires a lawyerly knowledge of FEDERAL, STATE, and LOCAL firearms laws, as well as the ARBITRARY whim of the United States Attorney General.
“In General- In order to be issued a firearm license under this title, an individual shall submit to the Attorney General… a certificate attesting to the completion at the time of application of a written firearms examination, which shall test the knowledge and ability of the applicant regarding… the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws… any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;”
Not only that, but the federal government is going to charge you a FEE to continue to possess a gun you might already own.
“IN GENERAL- The Attorney General shall charge and collect from each applicant for a license under this title a fee”
They’re also going to make you renew this LICENSE every five years. And, you MUST provide your current address, and keep that information current (you must notify the Attorney General within 60 days of moving).
There’s no doubt what this information is wanted for. They want to take your guns away in violation of the second amendment to the constitution. Failure to comply will be punished with heavy fines and from 2 to 10 years of time in federal prison.
I wonder. Do our Congressmen really think that they’d be in their current positions if the founding fathers had complied with such onerous infringements on our rights? How can people keep voting for these imbeciles? How can we say we’re a nation of laws when the people writing them willfully ignore the supreme law of the land?
