We are faced with a tough fight in the right to keep and bare arms arena again. Though I beleave we will win this fight.
The left wing and right wing anti-gunners are doubling there efforts to convince the American people that the Right to Keep and Bare Arms is not a right given to the common peoples, but rather a collective right for the Government.
In their endeavor to deceive the American people on this issue, they have forgot or purposely left out vital information about our rights. We must go back in history and look closely at the time frame, our founding fathers, and the documents that we hold so dear.

I post a link to the 3 main documents that were the backbone and or founding principles. They are as is written and not changed up by me or anyone else.
Here is a link to my take on the Second Amendment that some of you have seen already but it applies just the same.

Note 1. A misleading term the anti gunners like to use when quoting the Second Amendment is milishia, instead of militia. Militia is the word used in the Second Amendment. Attempting to look up the meaning of milishia in the Webster’s Dictionary it tells me there is no such ward or meaning. But if we see how the gun grabbers use the ward we can place a gun grabbers value to it.
The term milishia to the gun grabber is by their definition a military unit who member already belong to and are active participants. The definition I place on the word milishia is “a rogue body of citizens engaged in the act of legal or illegal armed confrontation, not sanctioned by the governing body, but called to arms by the peoples or the immediate need to act.”
The assumption that some how the Second Amendment only applies to a military is a very misleading statement. If we look at the history of our great country we can see that this amendment applies to the citizenry as individuals and as a collective body. We must remember and actually separate the Bill of Rights from the Constitution in order to fully grasp the understanding of personal rights.
The Constitution was ratified and became law September 17, 1787. The Bill of Rights was ratified December 15, 1791. Here is a historical account of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The Constitution deals with the Governing body of the United States and not the individual rights of the citizens. This is one reason that the founding fathers had a long hard battle to ratify the document. A bargaining agreement was met to allow a Bill of Rights for the citizens to be wrote and become law.
The bill of Rights was for every citizen in America and not the government. This document belongs to the people and not the elite. The first bill presented to the Congress had 12 Amendments to it, the first 2 being applied to Government were removed and the remaining 10 became our Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is Amendments to be added to our Constitution but as a separate document that dealt with personal right and not a governing body. Nowhere in the Constitution does it give the Government the athority to remove any of our rights, but they may enhance our right. (Add to, not take away) The first 10 were the core of our real freedoms as individual Americans.
This alone shows proof that the Second Amendment applied to individuals who were citizens of America and not the military and/or the Government. Many of the founding fathers, wrote articles, letters, and books on the subject of our freedoms. In almost every one of them the Right of the individual citizen to keep and bare arms was paramount.
Of the 13 colonies in America many wrote and ratified a type of Constitutions, and in what was to become a State Constitution they were very adamant about the individual rights to keep and bare arms. Here again we can see that the founding states of America understood the need for the individual to be armed at all times.
With the oppression of the crown in America, many people resisted by arming themselves when they could. This was looked down on by whichever governor the crown placed in power and many people’s weapons were confiscated and powder, flint and shot were not issued them, from fear of reprisal by the populace.
A second Item of the Bill of Rights is the term the People I cannot write a better response to this term then is already done here on this page.

Let us not forget that for over 200 years we the peoples have believed the Second Amendment applied to us as citizens, and individuals. At no time has the Government stepped in and corrected this belief. In recent years though the anti gunners have tried to change the meanings and tell the peoples that they were wrong all along. The anti gunners also attempt to make the Bill of Rights a living document subject to change at the whim of an oppressive Governing body. It is not a living document, but rather a document that is absolute.
One must remember that until the Bill of Rights was ratified and became law. No person had much of any rights that were an absolute. Even after the Bill of Rights was ratified woman and slaves had basically no right at all.
When the Constitution was ratified and became law slaves were considered property by law. A person wishing to vote had to own property, (land or a slave.) Woman had no rights to property back then. With the defeat of slavery we now had another class of peoples who now qualified as citizens, with all the given rights that the Bill of Rights granted. Woman finely was granted their full rights also somewhere with in the 20th century.
Just after the Civil War the anti gun movement started, with the intent of denying ex-slaves their rights to keep and bare arms. The anti gun movement has it’s roots in racism and not for the pretence of making America safer. Almost all quotes of violence are still directed toward the Black communities. When we see the news about violence and the need for gun control it has an ever-bearing presence of racism with in the statements. Here is a good article on the slavery and gun control issue.
