[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 3044858, member: 42957"] The basic concept on which the Constitution was founded was the principle that the inalienable rights of all men were granted by Nature and Nature’s God. These rights included Freedom which was further defined in the Constitutional Amendments. It is also clear in the Declaration of Independence that no government was valid unless it had the consent of the people, it preserved the rights of the people and that the people had the Right to change it, if necessary. That’s my understanding. The balance of power was always a concern of the founders both within government itself and between the people and the government. As Mao Tse Tung said, “Power grows from the barrel of a gun.” There is great Truth here and our citizens should never forget it. Leaders are humans and human nature inevitably leads those in power to quest for more. They just can’t help it. All our freedoms exist because our forefathers exerted force to secure them. It is impossible to exert force without the means. Once the right to bear arms is lost, the others will follow in succession Rationale will first be Emergency followed by Expediency, and then for the Convenience of those who govern. The issues here are much larger then Public Safety, or Terrorism (Foreign or Domestic), the foundation on which all our freedoms depend is threatened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
