Reply #117: Anti-gun people are anti-Constitution

[tesla78]

They have no regard for the second amendment right to bear arms. Do you expect your freedoms to be enforced by mere words on paper? What good are laws/freedoms without the police officer and court system to enforce them? Without the capability of enforcement, everyone can safely ignore the laws.

The citizenry is the ultimate Constitutional officer against destructive government. The right to bear arms was written after the right to free speech. Our founders knew an armed citizenry would be the final check & balance against a corrupt government.

I would hate to have an anti-Constitution neighbor if our government ever becomes destructive (ie: Nazi Germany), in a foreign invasion...or a Katrina like event.

Please, never forget the principles our Country was founded on.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America
http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
