The Right of the People ... shall not be infringed

Signers: 20875

We, the people of these United States, rightfully petition our President, House of Representatives and Senate in affirmation of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, "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."

We affirm that said Amendment was established to define an individual "right of the People to keep and bear arms," and that there is no more important constitutional issue than that of defending the plain language and original intent of the Second Amendment.

The newly-emboldened Democrat Party, with Barack Hussein Obama leading the charge, is once again attempting to redefine the Second Amendment as a collective right only, as outlined on the ACLU's website under "Gun Control": "We believe that the constitutional right to bear arms is primarily a collective one, intended mainly to protect the right of the states to maintain militias. ... The ACLU therefore believes that the Second Amendment does not confer an unlimited right upon individuals to own guns."

Justice Joseph Story, appointed to the Supreme Court by our Constitution's principal author, James Madison, wrote in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong moral check against usurpation and arbitrary power of the rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."

Indeed, the Second Amendment is "the palladium of the liberties of the republic," and those who fail to support it as such, and reject detractors like Obama, do so at great peril to themselves and the liberty of future generations of Americans.

Accordingly, we declare that gun ownership is not only an individual right, but a duty and obligation of all Patriots.

Aww geez not this cr*p again.

I get this spam all the time. It often appears to be associated with some 'religious right' stuff.

Who are these guys?
Why do they want your name & address & details?
What good does it, or can it, do?

NOTHING.

Petitions - online or otherwise - don't do anything. An individal call or letter to a legislator is what counts.

Such matters are dangerous to our cause since they convince people they're "doing something" when they're doing nothing other than creating a mailing list that can be resold.

That is not necessarily true, it takes a written petition to get things on the ballot, you don't want people thinking that official petitions to the state are bad too.

That's why I used your name and e-mail address. I get to feel good about signing a petition, but I don't have to receive their drivel.
