“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788

I just took some time this last Saturday to go with a friend to a gun course.  For 2 ½ hours I listened to an individual, the gun instructor who continuously advised and admonished all of this class how it is that they are to defend themselves should it come to the use of their firearms (2nd Amendment of The Bill of Rights).

I heard him talk of where you could carry and where it is that you could not carry, according to the federal and state governments.  Might I remind you of the representative government that is to uphold your God-given rights (Psalm 94:20).

So, when it came to questions and answers, I had to raise my hand and ask the question where the government had the constitutional authority to restrict the people’s God-given rights.  He responded with silence and an awkward smile.  How could he respond to that?  The burden of proof to answer why this is happening across the country is on the politicians, not on the people.  A question that they themselves cannot answer, and why?  It’s because what they are doing is unconstitutional and they know it, period! (Hosea 4:6)  Yet, they will always do whatever it is that you let them do regardless if it is legal or not.

I had said in front of the class, in order that everyone might understand what is happening in their own country and communities, that I have heard how it is that people defending themselves from criminals are, somehow or another, deemed guilty before being deemed innocent until proven guilty (Proverbs 17:15).  Criminals, mind you, that are repeat criminals several times over.

I also said that this is the same government that gives the “right”, as they call it (Our rights do not come from the government, they come from God), to murder the innocent in the womb, all the while accusing the innocent when they defend themselves for the crimes of the guilty when it comes to the right to bear arms.  Quite telling, is it not?

I also went on to say that 94% of all mass murders are in gun-free zones and that this is being done illegally by politicians who are surrounded by armed security detail working against us.

Conclusion: Americans, there is no constitutional provision given to any branch or agency in the United States that can legally construe the Constitution to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.  So then, I ask, why are the people in this country allowing their said representatives to act out in a way that is foreign to our Constitution?  And why is it that the American people are submitting to it?  There you have it!
