"And to the Republic for which it stands". Yes, that's right, a "REPUBLIC", not a pure Democracy. In the Republic, elected servants have a constitutional duty to follow rules that are crystal clear on what they can do, and what they cannot do. They are representatives in a "Republic" where they must protect the rights of the individual from majority rule, not the other way around. There's no room for Mobocracy in the laws of the Republics Constitution. You have rights. know them. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
