SO, HERE IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER WHEN TRYING TO HAVE IT BOTH WAYS
THE FACT IS THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS MURDERED BY AND FOR, WITH A GUN THAT EQUATES TO FREEDOM, YOUR ILK ARE WRONG, THAT IS NOT FREEDOM AND OVER 12,000 PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY IF THEY COULD TALK WOULD ASK YOU--REALLY.
WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
MAYBE YOU CAN ASK ALL MY GRADE SCHOOL FRIENDS, FOR THAT MATTER MY GRADE SCHOOL PRINCIPLE WHEN HE WAS KILLED 50 YEARS AGO--BY A GUN AND THREE OTHER PEOPLE WERE WOUNDED WHAT THEY THINK OR THE IMPRESSION IT LEFT ON OUR/MY LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. DID YOU THINK THAT PART OUT?
NO ONE HAS THE GOD DAMN RIGHT TO INVADE MY FREEDOM OF "LIFE" LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, OR DID SOMEONE FORGET THAT PART OF THE CONSTITUTION.
AND HAVING A GUN DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO GIVE ME THE RIGHTS OF THE CONSTITUTION TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PUSRUIT OF HAPPINESS.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO COMPARE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO MY/OUR LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PUSRUIT OF HAPPINESS--NO ONE ON THIS PLANET ARE A GOD OR FOR THAT MATTER NEITHER IS THE FUCKING 'GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA' AND THERE PARANOID DELSUION OF GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER, AND THE 'NRA' AND THAT FUCKED UP CREW WITH THE GUN MANUFACTURES, THEY SURE DO THINK THEY ARE A GOD --NO, THEY ARE NOT A GOD, ITS ALL IN THE NAME OF GREED, FEAR, INEQUALITY THE LIST GOES ON AND ON, AND THEY NEED TO CHALLENGED.
JUST MAYBE THE MIS-INFORMED ILK SHOULD READ A BOOK CALLED THE "YEAR OF THE HANGMAN" BY GLEN F. WILLIAMS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS TO BE PERSON IN THE "MILITIA, THE STANDING ARMY FIGHTING AGAINST THE TORIES AND THE FUCKING KING AND THE CORPORATIONS OF ENGLAND AND BEYOND, AND THE FIRST NATIONS PEOPLES THAT SIDED WITH THE KING AND HOW THEY WERE SNOOKERED IN DECEIT AND DECEPTION OF GREED, AND HOW IT REALLY EQUATES TO WHEN THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN BY JEFFERSON, AND WHAT IT REALLY MEANS/SAYS WHEN IT SAYS "MILITIA", THEN ALL OF THESE SECOND AMENDMENT GUN OWNERS JUST MIGHT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONSITUTION REALLY MEANS.
AND THE ENDING OF THIS RANT YOU SAID THE WORDS --ARMS---REALLY, LETS TALK ABOUT ARMS:
DO YOU THINK HAVING 70 MILLION GUNS, 1800 NUCLEAR DEVICES CAPABLE OF KILLING OFF THIS PLANET, 2000+ AIRCRAFT, 12+ NUCLEAR CLASS SUBMARINES, 450,000+ SOLDIERS, UNTOLD SMALL ARMS, MILLIONS OF BULLETS AND BOMBS, 16 NUCLEAR CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, SHOULD I GO ON?
DO YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE TIED TO THE SECOND AMENDMENT--YOU THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH TO SHOW FOR THE VIOLENCE, OR DO YOU THINK WE NEED MORE--I DON'T THINK SO, THAT IS WHAT THE SECOND AMENDMENT MEANS --VIOLENCE AND MORE KILLING--NOT PROTECTION--AND THE GUN IS USED FOR KILLING.
END OF RANT.
