{” Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrants will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual”}. Thomas Jefferson–

Note; Unconstitutional law violates the rights of the individual, and we as a people are under no obligation to observe any law that does so. M.Shean www.mafirearmsafety.com  submitted 4-29-2009

{” The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living, and the get rich theory of life”}. Teddy Roosevelt

Note; Prophetic.

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

Note; Mr. Adams must be spinning in his grave.

{” The duty of government is to leave commerce to its own capital and credit as well as all other branches of business, protecting all in their legal pursuits, granting exclusive privileges to none”}. Andy Jackson

Note; This, from our 7Th President, maybe Congress should read lessons and words of wisdom from the past, oh I forgot, Congress doesn’t know how to read.

{” We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the law breaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions”}. Ronald Reagan

Note; Soon Obama will blame crime in Mexico on our Second Amendment rights, as a scheme to disarm only the law abiding citizen, pay attention.

{“We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution”}..

{” Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”} 

Note; Obama will be asking for Americans to do just that soon, reject the notion under any pretense.

   {“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 shown, 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 usurpation’s, 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“.}

   NOTE; definitions, (Hath: archaic form of have). (Usurpation’s: wrongful seizures). (Evinces: openly displays). (Unalienable: alternate spelling for inalienable, incapable of being surrendered or transferred). (Despotism: rule by unlimited and oppressive power). (Tyranny: abusive exercise of unrestrained power).

In this excerpt are real fighting words from our Founding Fathers.    M. Shean

This is part of George Washington’s address to the second session of the First U.S. Congress:

{“Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizen’s firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that’s good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour.”}

   NOTE; Leadership under fire, battle after battle, perseverance through seemingly insermountable odds, the knowledge that if he lost he would be hung along with every signer of the Declaration of Independance. He knew, had it not been for armed citizens flocking to the banner of freedom, independance would never have been realized.

   Exactly what is it that empty suits, loosely called ‘representatives’ misunderstand about American freedom?  Not only the right, but the reason to keep and bear arms? Maybe they do not like to read, stimulas bills or anything else. They should be made to recite these words of George Washington on the floor of the House! They are as relevant today as the day he spoke them.
