Fight Brewing over the
Second Amendment

 

By: J.P. Huber Date: 15 July 2000

You have, by virtue of the powers contained in the Constitution of the United States of America, been guaranteed the undeniable right to carry weapons (concealed or otherwise) upon your person. Regardless of what the "pros" and "antis" argue, the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, known as the Bill of Rights, guarantees this.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution states: "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."

The Dictionary defines Militia as follows:
A body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.

The Dictionary defines Infringe as follows:
To break or ignore the terms or obligations of (an oath, agreement, law, or the like); to disregard; violate. To go beyond the boundaries or limits of; trespass; encroach.

The preamble to the main clause ("A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...") is just that - a defining statement, and NOT the main point. It tells us the ordinary citizen (not a professional soldier) provides security for the State. The main point ("...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.") is the individual right, defined in the 2nd Amendment, and clearly states it shall not be violated. (What part of 'shall not' do you not understand?)

The 2nd Amendment, and all others contained in the Constitution of the United States of America, shall be protected and defended from all infringements of any kind by the Office of the United States Attorney General, as specified by the Oath of Office and by the authority and power of the Constitution.

The United States Supreme Court should not be interpreting the 2nd Amendment to mean anything other than what it states. Congress should not be passing laws that encroach on this right. The States have no right, nor authority, to add restrictions. The Attorney General should not be prosecuting individuals for breaking these illegal laws, nor allowing other bodies of law, or agencies to do so.

The only way that changes can be made to Amendments, and all subsequent Amendments, of the Constitution is by strict adherence to the Fifth Article which clearly states that a two-thirds majority of both Houses of Congress is necessary to change, delete or add any Amendment, and then it must be ratified by three-fourths of the States. (The first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, form the basis of the whole Constitution and can not be changed modified or altered and can never be subjected to the outcome of a vote or judgment or decree of any kind.) These rights are absolutely non-negotiable and uninfringable. These are the basic God-given rights for all and they are guaranteed by the Constitution.

The Sixth Article, Second Clause states:
"...This Constitution ...shall be the supreme law of the land: and the Judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary not withstanding (null and void) ..." No State Legislature, Judge, federal agency, Law Enforcement Officer, President, or anyone has the right or the power to alter, change or interfere with the Supreme Law of the Land.

Therefore, all gun laws, restrictions, registrations, regulations, controls, taxes , etc. are illegal. ALL National Firearms Acts, rules and regulations are illegal. Yes! - ALL Federal and State gun laws and taxes to any degree are illegally conceived and illegally implemented. It is against The Constitution of the United States of America to enforce these illegal laws.

We must all take the time to bring our elected officials to the realization that they are part of a government that is violating our rights when they allow unconstitutional laws to be passed and enforced. Do not wait for your neighbor to do it. We all must take the time to exercise our rights and demonstrate that we hold these rights to be inalienable. We must muster and educate everyone, even though they may agree or disagree, that the Constitution has guaranteed these rights and they cannot be legislated away.

For those that continue to refuse to accept the fact these rights are absolutely non-negotiable,  uninfringable, and are God-given, I say it is you who should move. Move to a place that meets your restrictive ideals and beliefs. Do not take away my heritage - do not infringe upon my rights. Do not try and conquer my nation and impose your changes upon me. Don't tread on me!

To my fellow patriots I say muster and educate the masses. Tell your family, friends, neighbors, and elected officials you hold the Constitution of the United States to be the law of the land. Tell them the solution is to hold those that violate the lawful decrees accountable. We need crime control not gun control. Join the 2nd Amendment Right Muster and Education Day (2ARMED) on the first Saturday in October and let your voices be heard. Let them ring out from sea to shining sea.

By: J.P. Huber Date: 21 June 2000

Bill Clinton, his legions of lawyers and regulators, and the anti-gun lobby are rapidly turning the Second Amendment into a criminal liability, a government administered privilege and a social evil to be taxed, tracked, targeted, sued, shunned and snuffed out like cigarette smoking.

The nation-wide war upon you and your inalienable Second Amendment right (mine too) unites a powerful group of anti-gun forces:
- A White House with nothing to lose
- The Media
- Politicians looking for problems to "solve"
- Bureaucracies needing reasons to exist
- Product liability attorneys hungry for big settlements
- An anti-gun lobby that profits from them all

It's not just the laws that are destroying the Second Amendment. There is an army of anonymous bureaucrats firing cannons of anti-gun legislation as well as waging a war of attrition on our Second Amendment right. From countless cabinet offices, departments and bureaus, these unelected, unaccountable persons are bypassing Congress. They are silently sabotaging and insidiously undermining the right to keep and bear arms.

They have systematically defined, redefined and narrowed their so-called "sporting purposes" standard - even though the Second Amendment has nothing to do with sport - to block imports of common, conventional firearms. The Treasury Department has harassed lawful, licensed firearm dealers and driven nearly 58% of them out of business since 1994. Through the State Department, they've blocked exports of American firearms and deprived American firearm manufacturers of legitimate markets for lawful goods. Using the Justice Department they've broadened the scope of the Brady Law, and tried to impose a new gun tax on firearm buyers. Through stealthy maneuvering with the FBI they've compiled a nationwide database of firearms and firearm owners. They're effectively making the law without any discussion, debate, authorization or oversight from the U.S. Congress or citizenry.

They're all sucking the life out of the Second Amendment bit-by-bit. In the end we will only save the Second Amendment with our voices and through our actions. This is an urgent appeal for you to muster on the first Saturday in October. Exercise your right... demonstrate with unified pride... never surrender... and welcome all who believe the Second Amendment is a fundamental, individual, and inalienable freedom for law-abiding citizens.

However, a few cannot carry the burden for everyone else. Guns owners who are not part of the solution are part of the problem. If you want to keep your freedom, you are in the right place - but 70 million other gun owners aren't! So put them on notice: they need to participate in the 2nd Amendment Right Muster and Education Day (2ARMED). Use the 'Pass-It-On' link to email this URL to your friends. Donate what you can to help spread the word. Write that letter or email to your elected officials telling them how you feel about the infringements on your rights. Contact the candidates in the upcoming elections to find out where they stand on the issues.

Muster and send a message loud and clear that we hold the Second Amendment to be an individual right that shall not be infringed. Educate yourselves, your family and friends. Educate your neighbors, co-workers, professional and social associates, club members, the media - anyone who will listen. Contact your local range about holding a 2ARMED event. Otherwise, we will end up with a "right" to keep and bear arms that will have so many restrictions, qualifications and limits on which arms are covered, who has the right, and how, when, where and why you can exercise it - that it will cease to have any meaning at all.

I thank you for rising from the trenches with me to face our foes. You are a rare patriot who steps up to this muster. For my part I've worked long, hard hours spreading the word. I am but one voice and I need your help. Tell everyone you know. It doesn't matter how you do it, but just do it. Nag them, blame them, or shame them into mustering and contributing. Get them writing too. I promise to do my part just as you do your part. Together let's make other gun owners stand up, be counted and do their part. And whatever you do, get it started now, while there is still time - while there's still a Second Amendment.
