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 When laws are twisted from their original, outdated meaning, it puts our safety and security at risk.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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
