2A Saves Lives & Our Freedom

We all must support the Second Amendment to protect us from politicans' tyranny and oppression and preserved the right to defend ourselves, our families and our property.


The Second Amendment is rooted in multiple sources: English law; America’s revolutionary experience; and contemporary European political thought. In short, the basic idea was that a people have a right to defend themselves against tyranny; and that if a government breaches the social contract with its people, the people have a right to overthrow that government. Popular access to arms is the sine qua non (ie, something absolutely indispensable or essential) of such an ideal.


Proposed by James Madison in the Bill of Rights and born from Great Britian's tyranny and oppression, the Second Amendment is unique to the United States.


Noah Webster believed that having an armed public would prevent the government from becoming corrupted because the people would have more power than the government itself. He wrote:

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States."


Additionally, private gun ownership has proven over and over again as a defense against crime which further justifies the birthright of U.S. citizenship to keep and bear arms.


"The survey further finds that approximately a third of gun owners (31.1%) have used a firearm to defend themselves or their property, often on more than one occasion, and it estimates that guns are used defensively by firearms owners in approximately 1.67 million incidents per year. "

"Throughout history, governments have understood this. Every state power has known that in order to subjugate a people, those people must be disarmed. A house, after all, is like a fortification when its occupants are armed. Without arms, the occupants of a home are more like prey in a trap when police descend upon them.


History is full of examples of governments disarming their citizens with the promise that they will be protected by the state only to be brutally betrayed. What follows is a litany of blood that has not been taught in American high schools in nearly one hundred years.


1911: Turkey; citizens disarmed – 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered

1929: Russia; citizens disarmed – 20 million Russians murdered

1935: China; citizens disarmed – 20 million Chinese killed

1938: Germany; citizens disarmed – 6 million Jews murdered

1956: Cambodia; citizens disarmed – 1 million “intellectuals” killed

1964: Guatemala; citizens disarmed – 100,000 Mayan Indians massacred
