And this adds to the debate, how, exactly? Apart from the fact that it is
utter
tosh.
You start reading about the founding fathers and they were scared that
America would become like England .
With a king having absolute power over the common man.....
And corruption within the leadership.
As a check against that..... they made a constitiutional provision headed
by Thomas Jefferson.
In Jefferson's view the farmers would have to rise up every twenty years.
Bear arms and retake capital hill.
From those that would be "king".
Otherwise we would have a English feudal system in short order.
Noted both in his letters and newspapers of the time.
The second amendment was written.
And the Jeffersonian view is what scares many government leaders ,today.
It didn't help that many did want George Washington to be King of the US.
It also didn't help that we do in fact.Have a problem with a Washington
"feudal"system on the hill,today.
With too much noblity over the poeple you're suppose to service ......the
people will revolt.
Some did just recently over the borders,Sandi port deal,and other things .
When the people shut down the phone service with volume of voters calling
congressman.
On an issue that was "supposed to be" the poeples concensus,but wasn't.....
Others did in Louisiana when they canned the governor....in what appears
to be afirst in state history
a governor that wasn't corrupt.
Without the freg."visits by the militia" Jefferson thought required.
Or that leaders feared over due....you shut down the right to bear arms,so
they won't shut you down.
Or as was demo'ed recently ,you shut down the freedom of speech or they will
have a counterpoint.
Harry Ried and company had a letter to censure a talk radio show recently .
Where proudly getting 30 or so congress people to sign it on the floor.
Once again the people revolted , without the guns Jefferson thought
required.
Rush posted the letter on Ebay with the auction funds going to Marines
childrens fund.
The first time in Ebay history ...the bid load shut the website down.
The winner was the largest charitity auction bid in Ebay history.
2.1 million for the abuse of power letter to Clearwater
Broadcasting.(dollar match by rush and a challenge for
Harry to match as well. For a total of 6.3million to the Marine fund if all
come thru.)
Harry claims now that he was part of the auction from the start.
And has trouble remembering words and action that led to his letter .
Hell,if Thomas Jefferson and the others had prevailed ....in the bill of
rights .
There would be a armed camp of citizens chasing 60% of Washington out of
town.
And replacing them with someone that does work for the people.
That armed camp is what the ruling class fears,more so than crime excuse
given by the anti-gunners.
The fact that you can have a gun is more fearsome ...than if you do own a
gun.
Because as long as you can ....you can revolt if they get too far out of
hand.
And a corrupt politician wants to be the only thing on the table with no
resistance from any who serve him.
