Gun rights and gun control is currently a hot topic in America. The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is a mere twenty-seven words. It is straight forward. I do not see how it cannot be understood.
“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 second amendment is not about hunting. It has nothing to do with how many shells it takes to kill a deer. The amendment is about We The People being able to defend ourselves when needed.
The Founders saw the fear of arms being in the hands of the government alone and the people having no power to defend themselves if need be. They did not want the right of the people to bear arms to be infringed.
Now, the issue of permits, mental health, and who can own what is a great dialogue to have. However, when the government infringes on the rights of the people, we are headed down a road that is very dangerous in the long run.
Why did Obama win? Why did Romney lose? I have seen scores of articles and interviews attempting to answer these questions. I am not that smart. And from reading and listening to several others they do not appear very smart either. The situation is that President Obama won reelection and not much has changed in Washington as to the makeup of the government. And unless attitudes change we are in for more gridlock.
I stated in a previous blog post that I was voting for Romney. I did. I have a picture of my ballot to prove it. So now that the President has won how do I respond? I continue to pray and work for revival. I continue to pray for the President and other elected officials. I continue to stand against the social liberalism the President pushes. I will continue to pay my taxes. And I will pay more in 2013 if changes are not made.
America is a GREAT NATION. I love this country. This Sunday is Veteran’s Day. Remember to say thank you. Had we not fought some tough wars in days gone by we would have not been free to vote this week. We have been given a great gift in this Republic. Let’s work to keep it.
Since 1789 forty-four men have served as President of the United States. How many can you name? Not all of them are memorable. Others had great conviction and courage. Those we remember has having made a difference.
Today America goes to the polls again. We need a man to lead our nation out of a mess and into a better future. Pray, vote and work for a better America. This is a very important day in American history.
If you have not cast your ballot, you still have time. Vote. Let your voice be heard.
