Second Amendment


       The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

        I don’t see any mention of only guns used for hunting.  Hunting is not the reason for the amendment.  I did not see any exceptions for weapons that look scary.  I did not see any exceptions for weapons which had been used by criminals, crazy people, or terrorists. 
     The reference to a militia was not limited to a government military.  It referred to citizens that could and would defend their country. 
      Isoroku Yamamoto was Commander-In-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II:  He was aware of the civilian militia.  He said;

You cannot invade the mainland United States.  There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

       Our founding fathers had such amazing foresight that I am continually amazed.  The argument that the Constitution is outdated and should be modified as a living document has constantly been shown to be wrong.  
         The intention of the Second Amendment is quite clear.  George Washington wrote:

A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them which would include their own government. 

        “Their own government” is an important part of his statement.   What happens after the government takes away guns?  Here is a little history: 

·       1911 in Turkey:  1.5 million people killed by government

·       1929 in Soviet Union:  40 million killed by government

·       1935 in China:  50 million people killed by government

·       1938 in Germany:  13 million people killed by government

·       1956 in Cambodia:  One million people killed by government

·       1964 in Guatemala:  100,000 people killed by government

·       1970 in Uganda:  300,000 people killed by government

·       1994 in Rwanda:  One million people killed by government

      I am sure most people think this could never happen here, because it can only happen in a country where political leaders and bureaucrats have a political agenda, feel they are above the law, and are accountable to no one.  I may have just scared myself when I think about the deep state.  Could it happen here? 
        Support the Second Amendment, and President Trump to clean up the swamp.   

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
