What they want to take away tell us who they are…

Dear Friends,

It seems to me that There is no better example of talking out of both sides of your mouth than this example by Mayor Daly of Chicago; http://cbs2chicago.com/local/chicago.handgun.ban.2.1530231.html If what this article purports to be true is actually true…

Their own argument about the Constitution providing a “protection of doctor and patient communications,” only in one area of medicine, is undermined by their own argument to disarm the public. If some parts of the Constitution do not apply to the States then maybe this part does not. If only it were actually written in the Constitution we could more readily determine how it should apply to the States. The right to abortion has never been challenged in this way.

The progressives are trying to argue that the Second Amendment should not apply to the States? In what sane world does that make sense? If that turns out to be a valid argument… we can kiss every amendment goodbye. Even the amendment process itself will be undermined.

Because, once the Supreme Court has determined that a fundamental amendment (within the Bill of Rights) to the Constitution does not bind the States, any constitutional amendment need not bind the States. (Even the 10th Amendment). If selected parts of the constitution don’t apply to the States the progressives can use the States to pass whatever draconian legislation they want. No Constitutional amendment can stop them. (As long as they have the requisite five votes on the Court).

Cutting a hair this finely by our Elite is a slap in our collective faces. They will be telling us that the Constitution is no longer the law of the land…. They are. We have no recourse but to our newly elected oppressors. Of course they have been rubbing our noses in it for years…

Madison famously wrote against the Bill of Rights using this logic;

If the Constitution does not allow for government to regulate the playing jumping jacks then government cannot regulate jumping jacks. But if the Constitution expressly forbids government from regulating kick ball… does government then have the lawful right to regulate jumping jacks?

So where in the Constitution does it say that some parts of the Constitution do not apply to the States? The 10th Amendment. That Amendment says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Basically if the Constitution doesn’t say the Federal government can regulate something it can’t. If the Constitution says the States cannot regulate something they cannot. Everything else is left to the States to regulate.

The 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights says that, “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.” Clearly saying the Militia (All men above the age of consent) must have, not only the right, but the duty to keep and bear arms. No matter how settled the times there is always the possibility that the militia may have to be called up. An unarmed mob is of no use to protect our homes. A group of men and women that have and know how to use fire arms are. Yea… and they told Titus Livy (in 25ad) that Rome would never fall…

The side of the barn has been repainted a few times now, without negative consequences to the Elite, so we can expect to see more revision. Blatantly erasing the 2nd Amendment by another torturous argument would show extreme hubris. But I wouldn’t put it past today’s Elite. Because the progressives in both parties are at the helm. We know their destination… total government…

We have only to ask ourselves… Do we really want to go there?
