This notion of “law abiding” gun owners is a false construct. When laws are twisted from their original, outdated meaning, it puts our safety and security at risk.
Let’s start with facts. There is NO federal law that allows for individual, private ownership of firearms in the United States. Not even the Second Amendment. The political lobbyist and special interest group known as the National Rifle Association, which represents gun manufacturers, worked over several years to subvert and change the general interpretation of the Second Amendment from its original intent. They spent a ton of money over several decade and pushed their selfish agenda, thus making our society far less safe. |

In order to comply with the Constitution, Congress has enacted federal laws to execute and enforce this constitutional requirement.

Despite recent SCOTUS decisions, and others, some people still just cannot accept reality. The plain meaning of the words in the second amendment; "the right OF THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," they still don't GET that it IS the right of THE PEOPLE! That is YOU , and ME. It's THEM, too, despite their determinedly ignorant denial of it. If they choose not to own arms, fine, that's their choice.
I will maintain my rights. |

This delusional pap is what we're faced with on the part of fully half the country.
Not good. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
