Combat Veterans For Congress--Protects and Defends the 2nd Amendment (1)

  • Combat Veterans For Congress--Protects and Defends the 2nd Amendment (1)

We continue in our sworn oath on joining the US Armed Forces to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the first article in a series of future articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution---this is freedom issue.  Obama intends to bypass existing US Laws passed by Congress and the US Constitution by the issuance of 23 Executive Orders that could lead to the abolishment of the 2nd Amendment as we know it and by attempting to enact new anti-gun legislation to disarm American citizen.  Obama’s initiative to circumvent the 2ndAmendment will continue in stages, step by step, over the next 4 year, as he makes one inroad, he will pursue another to finally fully circumvent the 2nd Amendment.  I submit to you here that the first assault on private gun ownership is the initiative to ban automatic weapons domestically, in order to protect all Americans from mass murderers, and to eliminate any magazines with more than a 10 round capacity.   That stated goal is an absolute “hoax”—that misleading goal is simply a public relations campaign designed to appeal to citizens who do not know what the difference is between an “assault weapon”, a “Semi-Auto-Rifle”, an “automatic weapon”, a “semi-automatic weapon”, a “fully automatic assault weapon”, etc.; Obama and Feinstein continue to mislabel the weapons they seek to ban.  It would take much too long to explain the many sophisticated differences in this article (as an example it is impossible to configure the single shot semi-automatic  AR-15 to be a fully automatic assault rifle like the M4A1, but a skilled operator can fire multiple rounds per minute from the AR-15).  Please click on the link to get a very short explanation:

The Obama Administration’s initiative is to ban “all” automatic weapons “domestically”, including hand guns, and magazines for automatic weapons by making it a felony to sell or transfer those magazines for automatic weapons.  The common perception that so-called "assault weapons" can hold larger magazines than hunting rifles is simply wrong; any weapon that can hold a magazine can hold one of any size---that is true for handguns as well as rifles. A magazine, which is basically a metal box with a spring, is trivially easy to make and it is virtually impossible to stop criminals from obtaining magazines.  The current debate to outlaw “high capacity magazines” capable of holding more than 10 rounds—it’s a deceitful and intentionally misleading debate by the Obama Administration because that is really not their goal; the goal is really aimed at outlawing  a whole class of firearms “in common use”, in contravention of a decision by the US Supreme Court.  The Obama Administration continues to tell the American people “automatic assault weapons should only be used by the US military in combat”.  Yet Obama’s Department of Homeland Security recently put in an order to purchase 7000 “fully automatic assault weapons” and millions of hollow tipped rounds to be employed for some purpose “domestically” (the bid for 7000 “fully automatic assault weapoNS” IS found by clicking here.).   Possibly those 7000 fully automatic assault weapons and millions of hollow tipped rounds are for the “Regular Corps and Ready Reserve Corps” specifically created in the attached Obama Health Care Bill and the “Regular Corps and Ready Reserve Corps” will only be under the direct control of Obama.  

 

When Senator Feinstein and Obama try to force owners of all grandfathered weapons to register their guns in a national gun registry data base, they are violating their sworn oath to uphold the US Constitution which states “Provide and secure 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 leftists and Socialists in Congress leading the current frenzied anti-gun campaign will join Feinstein to continue to mislead the American people and continue to cloud the true purpose of the 2nd Amendment; they are no different from individuals who take Biblical quotes out of context, in order to justify their immoral actions.  The 2nd Amendment was not about skeet shooting, target practice, or recreational hunting; our Founding Fathers were Revolutionary War Combat Veterans who meant for the general public to be armed to the teeth as a doomsday provision to protect their freedoms when all other means to protect them from domestic tyranny failed.  They knew the only way this Republic was going to survive was if American citizens lived with their guns at the ready to fight invaders, oppose vain aspiring domestic tyrants elected to high office, and as protection against a power hungry government bureaucracy intent on over taxing them like the British Crown once did. The Founding Fathers believed if millions well-armed Americans lived with their guns, no tyrant like the King of England would ever dare to try to disarm them like his Redcoats did.  On April 19, 1775, British Army Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith led 700 Redcoats to confiscate guns and military supplies stored  by local militiamen in the armory in Bedford, Mass; the Redcoats were met by courageous Minutemen on the Lexington Green and on the Concord Bridge—the Red coats never confiscated those guns. 

 

The first step used by Hitler to disarm Germans, by Stalin to disarm Russians, by Mao to disarm the Chinese, and used by Castro to disarm Cubans, was to first find out who had privately owned guns, then those dictators had their private armies disarm the people in their countries.  Obama’s Socialist allies are going down the same road by insisting on “universal” background checks on all gun owners, they are even requiring new background checks when a man passes his hunting rifle down to his son.  A background check is “gun registration”, and we are supposed to believe that requiring all law abiding gun owners to agree to comply with background checks would prevent mass murders by deranged gunmen and gang members; it is ridicules on the face of it.   It is really requiring law abiding citizens who already have registered their guns with local law enforcement  to register their guns with Eric Holder’s National Gun Registry Regime, so Holder will now know where to find the guns without having to ask the local police chief.  Requiring universal background checks for all gun owners has nothing to do whatsoever with preventing mass murders by deranged gunmen—the only people who would ever comply with a law imposing universal background checks for all gun owners would be law abiding citizens, not criminals or deranged gunmen.   This past week Vice President Biden admitted that the new anti-gun control laws and “universal” background checks being proposed for all gun owners by the Obama Administration and Senator Feinstein will not prevent future mass killings. Identifying it as “universal” background checks is a further attempt to mislead the public, because no criminals or deranged gunman will complete a background check or register their guns with local law enforcement. The Founding Fathers were very clear about the intent of the 2nd Amendment. Let me share a few quick quotes here:

 

The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, is to protect themselves against tyranny in government.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      -Thomas Jefferson

 

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.                                                                                                                                                                 -George Washington

 

The Constitution shall never be construed…to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.                                                                                                                                                                                                   -Samuel Adams  

Make no mistake about it, the efforts by Obama to circumvent the 2nd Amendment has been underway for many years, long before the Newtown, Connecticut mass murders.  His efforts have been ongoing since the Obama Administration instructed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to support the global gun grab of the anti-American globalists to circumvent the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution by supporting passage of the radical UN Treaty on Small Arms Control.  That UN Treaty will abridge the ‘Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms”.  During the 2012 general election campaign, Obama cloaked in secrecy, his instructions to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s to commit the Republic, in stealth, to the radical UN International Treaty on Small Arms Control.   For two years, the Obama Administration has been covering up their ongoing negotiations to sign the radical United Nations Treaty on Small Arms Gun Control; it will prevent the transfer of certain privately owned firearms.  President George W. Bush’s Administration refused to sign the very “same” radical UN International Treaty on Small Arms Control, because it violates some provisions of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.   The next round of negotiations with the UN will be led by Secretary of State John Kerry in March 2013; he will finalize the United States’ support for the ant-American globalists radical Treaty on Small Arms Control.  The Obama Administration is reversing the long-standing US Government’s opposition to the radical anti-American radical UN International Treaty on Small Arms Control. Obama’s has planned all along to bypass the normal legislative process and will not seek the support of the US House to pass new legislation that would circumvent the 2ndAmendment—he plans to by-pass the congress and only have the Democratically controlled US Senate ratify the radical UN Treaty on Small Arms Control; its ratification will take gun rights away from American citizens. The Obama Administration has been ”lying” about what the effects of ratification of that radical UN International Treaty on Small Arms Control will have on the 2nd Amendment; the Obama Administration and the State Department continue to say that the radical UN International Treaty on Small Arms Control only applies to international arms trade.  If the radical UN Treaty on Small Arms control is signed by Obama then ratified by the US Senate, it will definitely be in violation of provisions of the 2nd Amendment, and Congress should file suit in US Federal Court to prevent enactment. 

This is the first in a series of articles in opposition to Obama‘s campaign to circumvent the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.  We ask you to forward this and follow on articles to those in your address book that support our efforts to protect and defend the US Constitution.
