If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight? I guess these were things that the founding patriots were wondering too. Are we like they were or are we now weaker?

I am trying to put down on paper what many people are thinking, but are too cautious to express openly.

I hope it never comes to what he is advocating, but I can certainly see where the possibility exists.

God help us all if it ever does happen.
If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?

I feel a tremendous responsibility to write this article though I am a little apprehensive. Thinking about the possibility of rising up against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want to die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply because I don’t think the average American is equipped with the facts. I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the t***h. So my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an American, and let you decide what to do with those rights.

About a month ago I let the democracy word slip in a discussion with a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to use this term. It’s not an accurate term and it never has been a correct term to describe our form of government. The t***h is that the United States of America is a constitutional republic. This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic e******ns, but ultimately our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution. In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes against our founding principles, they have no right to call for a violation of constitutional rights.

If you are religious you might choose to think of it this way Say that members of your congregation decide that mass fornication is a good thing. Do they have the right to change the teachings of your God? The t***h is the t***h. It doesn’t matter how many people try to stray from it. Did I just compare our founders to God? In a way I did, but please note that I am not trying to insult anyone. For the purpose of the American Government our constitution and founders who wrote it are much like God is to believers. It is the law. It is indisputable.

Our founders did not want a democracy for they feared a true democracy was just as dangerous as a monarchy. The founders were highly educated people who were experienced in defending themselves against tyranny. They understood that the constitution could protect the people by limiting the power of anyone to work outside of it much better than a pure system of popularity. A system of checks and balances was set up to help limit corruption of government and also the potential for an immoral majority developing within the American People. We have forgotten in this country that we are ultimately ruled by a constitution.

Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Let’s look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that question more fully and succinctly than I can.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb v****g on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the v**e. -Benjamin Franklin

Even 230+ years ago our founders were perceptive enough to realize that democracy was a dangerous form of government. How so? Because the citizens of a country can become just as corrupt as any government. We have seen evidence of this throughout history. Ask Native Americans and African-Americans if this population can become corrupt.

I think in 2012 we are seeing evidence of what Franklin was trying to tell us. Just because a majority of people may support certain ideas it does not mean that those ideas are just. In simple terms, just because most Americans love our president and v**ed for him, it does not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional rights.

Next I would like to review the text of the second amendment. It is very clear. This is the law of this land. So when Senator Feinstein or President Obama talk about taking your guns, you need to think about something. Are they honoring their sworn oath to uphold the constitution?

A well regulated M*****a, being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

This is a pretty clear statement. The fact is that it took 232 years for the Supreme Court to even rule on this amendment because it has never been successfully challenged. In 2008 a case of Columbia v. Heller the Supreme Court ruled that a handgun ban in Washington D.C. was unconstitutional. One also has to take this into consideration. The Supreme Court supports your right to own guns. If you want to research this decision further you can start here.

For those who try to debate the spirit of the 2nd amendment, they are truly no different from people who will try to take Biblical quotes out of context to try to support their immoral decisions. The founders were very clear on the intent of the 2nd amendment. Let me share a few quick quotes here:

The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. -George Washington

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

I could find hundreds of quotes like these. This country was built on the right to bear arms. It was built on the rights of an individual to bear arms, regardless of what his government or neighbor happened to think. This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your guns. Without guns in this country, all other amendments become null and void, simply because we the People will lose our power of enforcement.

We need to keep this in mind as our representatives try to push gun bans. I don’t care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights, plain and simple.

A constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even when their ideas are very much in the minority. If I were the only person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the only true American among us.

Our framers were very clear on this. If my government comes to take my guns, they are violating one of my constitutional rights that is covered by the 2nd amendment.

It is not my right, at that point, but my responsibility to respond in the name of liberty. What I am telling you is something that many are trying to soft sell, and many others have tried to avoid putting into print, but I am going to say it. The time for speaking in code is over.

If they come for our guns then it is our constitutional right to put them six feet under. You have the right to k**l any representative of this government who tries to tread on your liberty. I am thinking about self-defense and not talking about inciting a revolution. Re-read Jefferson ‘s quote. He talks about a last resort. I am not trying to start a Revolt, I am talking about self-defense. If the day for Revolution comes, when no peaceful options exist, we may have to talk about that as well. None of us wants to think about that, but please understand that a majority cannot take away your rights as an American citizen. Only you can choose to give up your rights. Also, may I point out that you will only get one chance at it. If you fail to defend your rights they will walk away with your guns and your last hope for America.

Congress could pass gun ban legislation by a 90%+ margin and it just would not matter. I think some people are very unclear on this. This is the reason we have a Supreme Court, and though I do not doubt that the Supreme Court can also become corrupt, in 2008 they got it right. They supported the constitution. It does not matter what the majority supports because America is not a democracy. A constitutional republic protects the rights of every single citizen, no matter what their elected servants say. A majority in America only matters when the constitution is not in play.

I just wrote what every believer in the constitution wants to say, and what every constitutional blogger needs to write. The t***h of the matter is that this type of speech is viewed as dangerous and radical or subversive, and it could gain me a world of trouble that I do not want. It is also the t***h. To make myself clear I will tell you again. If they come for your guns it is your right to use those guns against them and to k**l them. You are protected by our constitution.

Most of the articles I am reading on the subject are trying to give you clues without just coming out and saying it. I understand that because certain things in this country will get you on a list that you don’t want to be on. I may well be on that list. This blog is small and growing so I may not be there yet, but I have dreams. I also have my own list of subversives and anyone who attempts to deny my constitutional rights is on that list.

I am not the subversive here, it is the political representatives who are threatening to take away my inalienable rights. If they come to take my guns and I leave a few of them wounded or dead, and I somehow survive, I have zero doubt that I will spend a long time in prison and may face an execution. But I would much rather be a political prisoner than a s***e.

If I go down fighting then I was not fighting to harm these human beings. I was simply defending my liberty and yours. It is self-defense and it is what our country was built on. We won our freedom in self-defense. We would not be ruled by a tyrannical government in the 1770s and we will not be ruled in 2012 by a tyrannical government. There is no difference.

This is a case of right and wrong. As of now the 2nd amendment stands. It has never been repealed. They are not defending the constitution which they If Feinstein or Barack Husan have a problem with the constitution then they should be removed from office. have sworn an oath to protect. It is treasonous to say the least. They would likely say the same about me, but I have the constitution, the founders, and the supreme court on my side. They only have their inflated egos.

I am not writing this to incite people. I am writing this in hopes that somehow I can make a tiny difference. I have no idea how many of my neighbors have the will to defend their constitutional rights. 2%? 20%? I am afraid that 20% is a high number, unfortunately. When push comes to shove many people may give up and submit to being ruled. I believe that our government is banking on this.

I would hope that our officials come to realize that, regardless of our numbers, we still exist because they are calling Patriotic Americans to action. They are making us decide if we want to die free or submit to their rule. I cannot tell you where you should stand on that. I do know that it may make the difference between living a life of freedom or s***ery.

You must start thinking about this because I believe that the day is coming soon and I personally believe it has already been planned. Not all conspiracy theories are hogwash. They may throw down the gauntlet soon and my suggestion is that you prepare yourself to react.

I mean no disrespect to our elected officials but they need to understand that We the People will not be disarmed. If they proceed then it is they that are provoking us and we will act accordingly. We are within our rights to do so.

For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your side.

Are you willing to die to take my guns?

Most of you are men, I'm a woman so I doubt you'll think much of my opinion - but here goes. He is probably going to place some Muslin in positions of authority over the military. I have some reservations as to whether or not rank & file will go along with firing on fellow Americans, but they may.

Even in Hitler's military there were those who conspired to get rid of him. I can only hope that may be going on in our military. I believe he is planning marshall law before the 2016 e******n, and I believe there will be a civil war - but with the military might behind him - many, many of us will die - unless, and this is where you may think I'm a dreamer, NO just a BELIEVER. Unless, God steps in on our behalf. He hasn't, as far as I know, stepped in in the Middle East - but anything is possible.

Obama made the statement, "We have been more resilient than he expected." He will be a Nicolae Ceaușescu, as far as I'm concerned, IF God deems to save us. Are we worth saving? That's a good question.

According to a poll released Monday by the Gallup organization, the woman most admired by Americans during 2014 is Hillary Clinton. Soak that in for a moment. Of the approximately 165 million or so members of the fairer sex who call America home, the one who most inspires the people of this great nation is — according to Gallup — a woman who actually blamed her husband’s endless scandals and the fallout therefrom on a so-called “vast right-wing conspiracy.” With so many impressive, successful and even inspirational women from whom to choose, the most respondents selected the ex-first lady, U.S. senator, p**********l also-ran and secretary of State.

As if Hill-dawg’s hold on the top spot isn’t enough to make us wonder about Gallup’s polling samples, leafing backward through the years to Hillary’s arrival on the national stage reveals an even more troubling trend. The woman, whose entire resume comprises four decades of being humiliated by her husband, pretending “first lady” is an elected office, and then cashing in the humiliations and hubris on a senatorial seat in a state in which she didn’t live, has been the most admired woman in Gallup’s annual poll on the topic in 17 of the past 18 years. I’m curious if Gallup polled anyone outside the Wellesley College Womyn’s Club and the MSNBC interns.

Hillary Clinton was an enormously d******e first lady who used her husband’s position to enrich herself, empower herself and abuse the living hell out of anyone who got in her way. From stunning commodities trading successes, to an attempt to place trial lawyers in charge of the nation’s healthcare system, to her proclamation that the millions of people who felt the pangs of revulsion at her husband’s appalling behavior were part of a massive and coordinated cabal, Clinton turned an unearned, ceremonial position into a battering ram. Dubiously accumulated wealth, cronyism at the potential expense of human life and enabling grotesque male chauvinism hardly seems “admirable.”

Following her husband’s tenure in the Oval Office, Clinton left behind her Chicago and Arkansas homes to become a “lifelong” New Yorker. She ran a campaign that capitalized on both her husband’s fame and her husband’s career, and she won the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Nestled comfortably in Congress’s upper house, she set to work running for president. Unfortunately, her 2008 bid was sidetracked when Barack Obama trumped her “lady card” with the political ace of spades: the race card. Thereafter, she dumped her adopted home state to take up residence in the State Department as a member of Obama’s cabinet. She ditched Illinois, then Arkansas and then New York just to get closer to the White House. I find it hard to describe that as “admirable.”

Her tenure at the State Department was an absolute disaster, marked by a precipitous decline in America’s image in the eyes of allies and enemies alike. The shrill harpy of a first lady became a placeholder of a Senator and then an ineffectual blip of a secretary of State. And, of course, she abandoned Obama’s ship of State to prepare a 2016 p**********l bid — but not before she helped steer it onto the rocks of worldwide derision. Two years later, she has yet to demonstrate any real political acumen or qualification other than respiration and a pulse.

If you have a daughter, I’m sure you harbor hopes and dreams of a future in which she lives a long, happy life. And I’m sure that you hope that she rises to the very top of wh**ever field she chooses. She could emulate Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, a widely respected jurist who shattered the glass ceiling using her own wit and wisdom. She could emulate Condoleezza Rice, who emerged from humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful people on Earth through sheer will and then succeeded her diplomatic service by becoming not only a top official at Stanford University, but a major player in the boy’s club of football, even making the short list of candidates for commissioner of the NFL. Your daughter could also emulate the millions of stay-at-home mothers, proudly and determinedly raising generations of children to become far more worthwhile citizens than someone who rose to fame and fortune by standing next to — and enduring — a disarmingly buffoonish sexual predator.

My niece is wandering perilously close to the edge of her teenage years. Ahead of her lies an endless sunrise of possibilities. She could save lives as a doctor. She could work for peace as a diplomat. She could fly to the stars as an astronaut, presuming we stop bumming rides from the Russians. She will almost certainly be an amazing human being. She will absolutely give my older brother multiple c****aries before she does any of that. When I think of the women she admires, I prefer to tell myself that she thinks of women — of people — truly worthy of admiration, her own mother and grandmother among them. I’m sure her cheers are currently reserved for some movie star, pop music star or some combination of the two. And, to be honest, I prefer that to Hillary Clinton.

Sicilianthing-what branch of the military did you serve in ? What have you given, if anything, to this country ? Are you open to common sense or have you already decided that its your way or the highway ? What Obama has done with this amnesty is unconscionable but you cannot stop him unless you have the power to do so. What you and others fail to recognize is that the republicans do not have such power. They can put on a good show in an attempt to placate their constituents but that is all it can amount to. The democrats have the upper hand in that they will not v**e against their president. All this activism does is create rhetoric because nothing concrete can come of it right now. However, the conservative agenda could be implemented if the republicans could win the White House and keep congress in 2016. That is the only scenario in which the republican would have power to act in spite of what the democrats like or dislike. If you remember, Harry Reid invoked the Nuclear Option in the Senate to get judges appointed. That means that legislation can be passed with a simple majority as opposed to the normal 60 v**e requirement. Even if the republicans now have the Senate that option is negligible because a democrat president will not sign legislation that is not agreed to by the Senate democrats. However, with a republican president that option is very viable. So, what we need now is patience and knowledge that both Boehner and McConnell are experienced and know the limits of their power. We also have to be careful of extremists in our party who think they know it all and make promises to constituents which they cannot keep. The democrats would like nothing more than to see our party self destruct. Some posters here are both uninformed and narrow minded and that can be dangerous. Word of advice- believe it would serve you well to avoid being fast and loose with the word T*****R especially when you do not know who you are accusing. Good Luck America !!!

Lie #1: Every President has Taken Executive Action on Immigration: No other president has ever issued an amnesty of anywhere near this scope, created it out of thin air, or built it upon a prior executive action instead of a statute. And in the case of President Eisenhower, his executive action was to deport 80,000 i*****l i*******ts.

Lie #2: I*****l I*******t Crossings are Down: Actually, this is the third straight year that border crossings have gone up, not to mention the entirely new wave from Central America.

Lie #3: It does not grant citizenship or the right to stay here permanently: Under the royal edict, the work permits can be renewed every three years, and most likely, they will be renewed at the same 99.5% acceptance rate as DACA applications. And once they get Social Security cards, they are going nowhere. So yes, this is permanent. And yes, they will be able to get green cards, which puts them on an automatic path to citizenship: “we are reducing the time that families are separated while obtaining their green cards. Undocumented immigrants who are immediate relatives of lawful permanent residents or sons or daughters of US citizens can apply to get a waiver if a visa is available.”

Lie #4: Only 5 Million: Make no mistake about it. Obama’s illegal amnesty will not just apply to 5 million individuals. It will apply by default to all 12-20 million i******s in the country as well as the millions more who will now come here to enjoy the permanent cessation of borders and sovereignty. Given the numerous options for people to become eligible for amnesty, ICE and CPB will be restricted from enforcing the law against anyone because each individual has to be afforded the opportunity to present themselves and apply for status. There is no way those who were here for less than 5 years will be deported and there’s no way the new people rushing the border and overstaying their visas will be repatriated.

Lie #5: Deport Felons: Obama claims he is going to focus on deporting felons. Yet, he has done the opposite. 36,000 convicted criminal aliens were released last year, 80,000 criminal aliens encountered by ICE weren’t even placed into deportation proceedings, 167,000 criminal aliens who were ordered deported are still at large, 341,000 criminal aliens released by ICE without deportation orders are known to be free and at large in the US. Again, this is cessation of deportations for everyone. They are leaving no illegal behind.

Lie #6: Don’t deport families: Obama is playing the family card. It works like this: people are encouraged to come here illegally, Obama grants them amnesty, then their relatives all get to come, even though they would otherwise be ineligible under public charge laws. Yet, at the same time, because the bureaucracy will be flooded with applications of i******s, and those are the applications that will be prioritized, those families who came here legally will have to wait longer to be united. There is no longer an incentive to enter the legal immigration process.

Lie #7: They have to pay taxes to stay: Aside from the absurd notion that they would turn someone away for not paying taxes, almost every one of these i*****l i*******ts lacks a high enough income to incur a net positive tax liability. Hence, by paying taxes, he actually means they will collect refundable tax credits!

Lie #8: Background Checks: Just the thought of a criminal background check of people coming from the third world on a lawless program is a joke. But the reality is that Obama has already done this with DACA, and 99.5% of applications were approved, including those of criminals.

Lie #9: Cracking Down on I*****l I*********n at the Border: Obama promises to beef up resources at the border. But as we’ve seen over the past few years, what good are more agents if they are explicitly intimidated into turning a blind eye. Moreover, there is no promise to build a fence or implement a visa tracking system, so any talk of enforcement is an insult to our intelligence. Moreover, he is unilaterally abolishing the Secure Communities program, the only successful interior enforcement program left after he abolished 287g state-federal cooperation in 2012. At a time when we are facing threats from Islamic terror and deadly diseases, this invitation to the world will present a security nightmare.

Lie #10: Scripture tells us, we shall not oppress a stranger: It’s great to see him quoting the Bible for once, but nice try. There are different variations of this verse throughout the Bible, but each one uses the Hebrew word “Ger” to describe what Obama t***slates as “stranger.” A Ger is a convert to Judaism. The commandment was not referring to people who illegally migrate to a nation state. And more importantly, it is downright offensive to Americans to insinuate that not granting them benefits is tantamount to oppression, especially given the fact that they have been the biggest recipients of our generous legal system. Moreover, if there is oppression taking place it is to the American taxpayer and worker and those who suffer from gangs like MS-13.

The man needed to have his butt kicked by one of those Marines when he saluted them like that. I bet he would be whining all day long if one of them threw him that kind of salute.

I guess 6 years of having them standing there at the foot of the stairs haven't showed him that they always salute him, and like all other officers he is expected to return it.

What kind of gentleman is Obama, anyway. Right behind him coming down the stairs is Michelle. I never treated either of my wives that way. Be a gentleman and let the lady go first.

Bush had close to 50 countries in his "Coalition of the Willing."

Obama has so alienated and abandoned our allies, he has no one.

He is sending Hagel to Turkey to build a coalition to fight the Islamic State.

Note to Obama: Turkey is supporting the Islamic State.

But he knows this, too. Obama says he has no strategy to defeat ISIS. He doesn't because he has provided tacit support for the Islamic State — especially in Syria.
