Thank you B.E.!
I just wish the US politicians could read and understand this. (they may read it, but many lack comprehension!)
But, but, but, how can the elite retain confidence in their ‘right’ to forever rule and guide the ignorant ‘great unwashed’ uninterrupted if the people are ‘allowed’ have the implements capable of violently removing them from office?
this was a most informative article. As the gentleman in the last post mentioned , if the politicians , the radicals and the politically correct folks who are doing everything in their power to weaken our nation would read and comprehend our constitution , the sad situation in our country would once again be amodel for the rest of the world.
Restore Freedom and Liberty, exercise your Right to Jury Nullification.
Very good indeed!
I scratch my head when people question the intent of the founders of this country re: civilian ownership of arms. It’s perfectly fine to debate the place of such rights in modern society; that’s your right and well established by the 1st Amendment. But with all the supplemental writings and evidence of the founders, there’s no way to debate what they intended.
I wonder if the writer of this article checked that the long gun registry has since been scrapped when the Conservative government under then prime minister Stephen Harper got rid of it.
Yes, I did, but at the time I wrote the article that was note the case and I had read of the repeal but forgot about it when I sent the post in.
What are the first three words of the Constitution?
“We the People”
What do these words tell us?
They tell us that the authors of The Constitution believed they belonged to a group, a group called `The People’.
They also tell us that the authors believed that they were speaking for this group called The People.
Jumping down to the Second Amendment we find two groups mentioned; the group The Militia and the group The People.
Now the Militia is a subset or sub-group of the group The People. This means that all members of the group the Militia are members of the group The People, but not all members of the group The People are members of the group the Militia.
Our Founding Fathers deliberately, willfully, and purposely re-affirmed the natural born right of the larger group, The People, to Keep and Bear arms.
The Founding Fathers made this very clear when they said `shall not be infringed’. The word infringed (infringe) comes from the Latin `infringere’, dates back to 1525 and means to weaken or break!
The Right of The People to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be weakened!
This mean that any Law that weakens our right to keep and bear arms is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
The Supreme Court of 1803 declared in Marbury vs. Madison;
`Certainly all those who have framed written constitutions contemplate them as forming the fundamental and paramount law of the nation, and consequently, the theory of every such government must be, that an act of the legislature, repugnant to the constitution, is void.’
`So if a law be in opposition to the constitution; if both the law and the constitution apply to a particular case, so that the court must either decide that case conformably to the law, disregarding the constitution; or conformably to the constitution, disregarding the law; the court must determine which of these conflicting rules governs the case. This is of the very essence of judicial duty.’
`If, then, the courts are to regard the constitution, and the constitution is superior to any ordinary act of the legislature, the constitution, and not such ordinary act, must govern the case to which they both apply.’
`Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.’
Re: Marbury v. Madison
I seem to recall that the Supreme Court’s majority opinion was written by a sworn KKK member, and was eventually used to bastardize the Constitution’s separation of church and state into an outright attack on Catholicism. Maybe a better legal scholar than I can chime in?
Well written article, I have one problem, The second Amendment as written in the Constitution has one comma not 3 like the early drafts yet the 3 comma version is the one always shown. The extra commas change the focus and meaning of the Amendment.
It is clearly not the case that politicians lack comprehension. Liberals and other anti-gunners are either afraid for their cushy jobs (deep state will drop them like a hot rock) or they are dupes of the public education system which systematically brainwashes youth to believe that “guns kill people”. Guns are just tools. Be afraid of the people who preach fear of guns. You will notice that anti-gun politicians seem to always exclude their armed guards and themselves from any ban they propose.
Liars and hypocrites!
JRU
A telling example of what happens when politicians submit to “gun control” pressure from the libs is Australia. After a mandatory turn in and gun ownership prohibition law was passed, and approved by the citizens, the countries’ crime rate sky-rocketed as criminals enjoyed risk-free crime sprees!
PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION! Mr. Patriot I am in full agreement with everything that you have stayted. I hope a good pro gun lawyer is reading this, just in case. And now if if I can just figure out how to get this from blog to my printer so as I have a permanent copy things today will be outstanding.
When the gun grabbers quote the first part of the 2nd Amendment and say it is just for the militia I ask them “What is the militia?”. They always say the militia is the National Guard or the Reserves. I then refer them to 10 U.S.C. ss 311 & 312 that defines the militia. Paraphrasing here “any able bodied male 17-45 that swears allegiance to the U.S.”. So then I refer them to the Constitution Art I Sect 8 Clause 16 ” To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia”. So then I tell them I am glad they read that and I want my tax payer funded guns, ammo, and training. They usually shut up after that and just move on.
