The Right—and Duty—to Be At All Times Armed.American Political Stability is Derived from the Right to Revolution.Brad Patty, September 23, 2019 During the Viking Age, there was a man called Þorgnýr the Lawspeaker. The Lawspeaker’s office made him spokesmen for Swedes who owned their own farms—while not ‘citizens’ in our sense, they were a class of ordinary free people whose interests sometimes differed from those of their kings and lords. One such king, for reasons of pride, tried to draw Þorgnýr’s people into an unwanted war. This resulted in an outcry, and the king held a public meeting to persuade the people to go along. Þorgnýr spoke at this meeting, and reminded the King that seven previous kings had been drowned in a nearby well when they proved resistant to the advice of the people, and should reconsider his war. And so he did. Þorgnýr would have understood the American notion of the right of revolution. According to the Declaration of Independence, it is “the Right of the People to alter or to abolish” a government that becomes destructive of their rights. Tellingly, our Constitution also guarantees that “the Right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” This right can frustrate those who hold a social position similar to Þorgnýr’s kings and lords. Although some of our elites incessantly invoke “revolutions”—Bernie Sanders, for example—a revolution to thwart the will of politicians at the behest of an armed citizenry is not what they have in mind. humanevents.com/2019/09/23/the-right-and-duty-to-be-at-all-times-armed/

Why should we keep our guns?By David L. Rosenthal, November 12, 2019 In the last century, scores of millions of defenseless civilians were slaughtered by totalitarian regimes that first disarmed them. Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China, the Ottoman Turks, and several dozen other despotic regimes committed mass murder of millions upon millions. Historically, genocide follows confiscation of arms as surely as day follows night. In order to foster the deterrence of tyranny in American government, the Founders ratified the Second Amendment, acknowledging the unalienable right of the people to bear arms. The published statements of the Founders clarify their points of view with regard to their purpose for acknowledging that right. They clearly meant for the people not to be impeded from owning weapons similar to the ones used by government forces, so that any future despots might be deposed by an armed populace. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed, according to the Second Amendment. All winning candidates, as well as all appointees to office, must affirm under oath that they will support and defend the Constitution. Nevertheless, many officials have demonstrated their disdain for that oath, for aspects of the Constitution, for unalienable rights, and for the lawful limits of their delegated power. www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/11/why_should_we_keep_our_guns.html

High Court Tackles Gun Control: Is A Second Amendment Renaissance (Finally) Possible?by Jason Ouimet, Executive Director, NRA-ILA - Thursday, December 26, 2019 In December, the U.S. Supreme Court will have heard, for the first time since 2010, arguments on whether a gun-control law violates the Second Amendment. Its decision could determine whether the right to keep and bear arms will finally be accorded the respect and dignity of other Constitutional rights or whether it will remain, as Justice Clarence Thomas once lamented, a “constitutional orphan.” The case is New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York. To understand why this NRA-backed case is so important, it’s helpful to revisit the Second Amendment’s text, history and tradition. Americans have owned firearms from the Colonies’ earliest days. The Founders never questioned whether U.S. residents would own guns—they already did—but whether the individual ownership of arms was so fundamental to the scheme of government they were creating as to be enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The Second Amendment affirmatively answered the question, stating: “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.” www.americas1stfreedom.org/articles/2019/12/26/high-court-tackles-gun-control-is-a-second-amendment-renaissance-finally-possible/

We’re Forgetting: The Right To Bear Arms Is Essential For Life And Libertyby KrisAnne Hall, JD John Adams wrote, “Liberty must at all hazards be defended, we have a right to it derived from our maker. But if we had not, our fathers have bought and purchased it for us at the expense of their ease, their estates and their pleasure and their blood.” So, first, you stand up for the weak and ignorant. You stand up to say, we will not let you be enslaved. We will defend you as well as our own because that is the call of Liberty that Makes America Great therevolutionaryact.com/right-to-bear-arms-essential-for-life-liberty/

Excellent news, keep buying until the Government turns off the faucet with an 'emergency declaration' ...
You can see it now, even from politicians on the right, when the chips are down and resources are scarce, they WILL shut down the Second Amendment to hold on to their power... But You're probably thinking that the Courts will step in to stop this unconstitutional power grab from happening... Yeah, not so much...
