Warning this is a Pro-Militia post!
My friends and countrymen... the powers of the sword
are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to
sixty.
The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible.
Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom?
Congress have no right to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American....
The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or the state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."
Tench Coxe, delegate to the Continental Congress in the Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20, 1788

Aieeeee. Disarm the Militia,so says pretty much every Democrat, and most Republican members of the Government. What is wrong with that picture? Who has lost sight of the founders intent? It just makes it clear who is right does it not?
ReplyDeletea disarmed people are easier to control by lie and terror into submissive slaves serving their master race
ReplyDeleteam rather to be free and well armed always than be a slave....

Unarmed people stand next to pits and ride boxcars. Armed people do not.
