Has anyone ever wonder why the founders of this great nation, selected these two topics as the first and second.  Why?  They hold such great important.  First the freedom of speech, second the right to bear arms. 

Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and Petition

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech; or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Right to keep and bear arms

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.

Many people today don’t understand the power that we, the people, hold over our government and our lives with the first amendment.  Our forefathers knew that if this was to be a great nation the people themselves would have to have the right to voice their opinions.  Therefore, the first amendment: the power of the people’s voice is paramount. The second amendment: The right to bear arms, the right to protect one’s person, property, as well as to defend our nation.  If we lose, or if the second amendment is weakened, we will no longer be the strongest nation.  Those who wish that the United States no longer existed, those groups and nations who wish us harm us, will fear us less.  Domestic criminals will ravage this nation, our boarders will be overrun.  We are a nation of laws, and we are because we can defend our way of life and our laws.

Gun control is not about hunting it’s not about keeping guns away from people who should not have them. It’s about power and who has it?

There are those in our own government, people of power, people who believe that America should be ruled by the ruling class.  To lose the second amendment or to have it weakened means an unarmed population who cannot protect itself a nation, a population vulnerable to attack, from any direction.????

My point here is. Once we lose the second amendment, how long before the first amendment disappears?  Without these two amendments, the constitution of the United States comes apart.

AND AWAY GO YOU’RE RIGHTS! And any chance to defend them
