I Voted Yes but Did Not Mean It

I participated in this USA Today Poll on the 2nd Amendment. The question is stated:
“Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?”



I voted “Yes” but do not mean it. I absolutely disagree with the question as stated but needed to vote yes because it would express support for the right to bear arms.

What I disagree with is that the right is given to me by the constitution or any other mortal entity. My right to self defense is a God given right that was mine the day I was born into this world. The constitution reaffirms this right – but does not give it.

If you can be convinced the government is where our rights originate then you could be convinced government should be able to deny our rights. For about 70 years public education has taught many generations that it is indeed the government that gives us our rights. They have also furthered the misrepresentation that we are a democracy.

These two concepts are paramount to why things are so messed up in Wash. DC.

If the majority of corrupted congress critters vote for something, even if it is repugnant to the law of the land, the democracy lie has convinced us majorities make it legal.

The USA is everything that anti federalist feared. Somewhere we bought the lie that government, the federal government, is the ultimate authority. When you multiply this with the impact of the democracy lie you have the district of criminal as it stands today in all its hubris and criminality. The ultimate shame in all of this is Lady Liberty is now the lost love of America.

Become acquainted with our heritage. You will find Liberty a most beautiful object of admiration.

In Liberty,
