A letter to the editor....

By clicking on the title of this post, you will be led to another episode of the 'Rabid' Liberal Zone

What follows below is my response to the editor, concerning an article in the Washington Post;
Editor,
I have trouble understanding why a newspaper, located in our nations capitol, would allow an article that calls for subversion of the U.S. Constitution? Is that standard practice these days? There can be no logical explanation for calling for further governmental usurpation against our God given and Constitutionally protected Rights!
Especially in consideration of the reason WHY, the Framers of the Constitution, placed those provisions. Which FACTS are backed by INNUMERABLE quotations, by the Framers;

"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that it has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are of such a nature…Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
...cited from Thomas Jefferson, COMMON PLACE BOOK 314
(Beccaria, ON CRIME AND PUNISHMENT 87-88)

.
AND;

"A free people ought not only to 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.”
- George Washington
AND;
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government.
- Alexander Hamilton,
The Federalist (#28)

As well as more contemporary commentaries reaffirming this RIGHT;
"The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner."
The 1982 United States Senate subcommittee on the Constitution report.
chaired by Orrin G. Hatch

With the following providing an IDEAL Reasoning as to why we have this Right;

.
They came for the Communists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist; They came for the Socialists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist; They came for the labor leaders, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labor leader; They came for the Jews, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew; Then they came for me - And there was no one left to object.
German Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemoller, 1892-1984

'They' were the Nazi's - who established 'Gun Control' in 1938

The above historical occurences, spell out with PERFECT CLARITY, THE REASONING AND INTENT of OUR FOUNDERS, in having us ALL ARMED AND READY TO RESPOND - TO ANY EVENTUALITY!

.
What is truly ludicris, is if YOU take into consideration the HORRIBLE conditions in Washington, D.C.! That you would have the gall to try and lure the rest of the country into the HELL that you people have created. A HELL of your OWN making, is sinister! It is my regret that you could not be charged with TREASON for spreading such drivel!

Detestfully,
