Conservative American,
In the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1778, George Mason identified one of Great Britain's tactics to control the colonists: arms control.
Mason said:
"Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed
in Great Britain, the British Parliament was
advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm
the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them;
but
that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink
gradually ..."
Our founders knew well that big government always prefers to rule by disarmament, because an unarmed populace - like Mason rightly noted - is an "enslaved" one.
In addition to providing specifications for an army to be raised for the defense of the States' freedom (see: Article I, Section 8, Clause 12); the Second Amendment to the Constitution established "the right to keep and bear arms." Thus, the Constitutional provision for Congress to create Armed Forces is treated as separate from the individual's right to hold his own arms. In other words, the Second Amendment was not adopted to establish rights for an army; no, it was adopted to codify the natural, individual right to self-defense and as a block against tyranny.
On January 16 - less than two weeks ago - Barack Obama made a declaration in front of the nation in opposition to this basic, constitutional right.
His nearly thirty-minute address on "curbing gun violence" was an outright assault on the Second Amendment.
Despite his oath of office - which he recently recited for a second time - where he placed his hand on the Bible and proclaimed that he will, to the best of his ability, "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" - Obama has worked against the Constitution in the name of defending it.
Though many of his executive actions urged Congress to take action - regardless of the fact the not one of the twenty-three are in the proper role of the general government - Barack Obama has stood against the People's right to keep and bear arms.
Considering this fact, we must urge the House of Representatives to file articles of impeachment against Barack Obama for standing in opposition to the Second Amendment, and the Constitution itself, by accomplishing (via Presidential Memoranda) and promoting (via executive action) national gun-control.
The Congress must exercise their power against Barack Obama's January 16 attack against the Second Amendment!
Select Here and Blast Faxes to Congress, demanding that they oppose Barack Obama's unconstitutional January 16 actions by filing articles of impeachment!
