The "Mohammedans/Muhammadans" (as described by Presidents Thomas Jefferson - note the shores of Tripoli (Libya) (Semper Fi) & Theodore Roosevelt) ie Islamists, Muslim, Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, ISIL, Muslim Terrorists, Radical Muslim Terrorists etc. have declared war on Israel (Jews) and the United States of America (Christians). Historically the Crusades were fought by an army to protect Jews and Christians from annihilation. And the Americans are asked/legislated to disarm. Looks like a disaster.
The battle for gun rights is already lost. Its just a matter of time. Both sides of the political aisle have concluded that certain exceptions to the constitution are acceptable. Once any exceptions, ANY AT ALL, are accepted without going though constitutional amendment processes then the whole argument is rendered arbitrary. The constitution is irrelevant. And then it all depends upon the will of the people, a people who are easily swayed in the direction the quasi-fascists want simply by keeping the body count in our daily faces and convincing us that guns are the cause and a lack of them the solution.
Put simply, any exceptions, ANY, to the constitution, opens the door to ALL, A L L, exceptions. Until it is nothing but a dusty old piece of history just as the political left wants it to be.
The continuity and survival of any society depends upon set boundaries of behavior and beliefs. Most often that is defined in the negative via laws and regulations that apply to that society. Therein what is acceptable behavior and beliefs for any given society is set.
When one group within that society breaks with the rest in any way, that society can be considered fractured. When the governed answer to different rules than those governing, it further fractures. Under those conditions a society is ripe for brittle failure. However, people make up a society which in turns lends itself to the living organism analogy. Those fractures can be considered cuts that bleed society.
Death by a thousand cuts so to speak.
The American Society is slowly but surely dieing if not already dead.
There's probably a few more phases before we disarmed. The final phase might not be very nice when you read a lot. 300 million firearms in the country millions upon millions of firearms owners who enjoy they second amendment right, legally. In reality it could get ugly.
I do feel that individual states need to enact laws to protect their legally armed residents. As Oregon and Colorado have done with "pot" and California is wanting to do, legalizing it without intervention from the Feds. I believe pro gun states need to pass laws to protect our second amendment. If they can legalize pot, then we can do the same for firearms. A plus for these states, any firearms manufacturers in states unwilling to pass laws and abuse the second amendment can move to the pro gun states. Same with the ammo manufacturers. I have already seen it here. Several firearms manufacturers have moved from the anti gun north to our state. Now if we can secure some powder manufacturers, ammo manufacturers we will be self supporting.
The states rights thing solves two issues. That of course applicable to this thread, gun rights, and of course the CONSTITUTIONALLY intended states rights as a balance of power against the feds.
Its unfortunate that the political left goes into hysteria about slavery and racism anytime anyone mentions the states rights issue. That is except of course for drugs.
