Technology changes but human nature is time immemorial.

Our founding fathers had a heighten awareness of mans desire to in slave the populous through tyranny. Their study of history and then living under their current oppressor King George made for a heighten awareness of  the oppressive nature of governments in its drive to control the opposition.  Or despite best of intentions, governments become tyrannical in their never ending quest to provide security over freedom.     

Today our rights are under assault from both fronts.  A populous that is demanding security over freedom and elites colluding with big government to enrich themselves further at citizens expense.

Today many of our citizens are clamoring for gun control in their emotional desire to end the mass shootings.  The major reason our founding fathers placed into the Bill of Rights your freedom to bear arms to place the people on equal footing with their government.  Along with your right of self defense. 

Government enforcement is never voluntary.  This is the major over riding reason the police and other government agencies have guns.  Enforcement,  threat of and incarceration with the possible use of deadly force maintains broad adherence of laws by our citizens.

Unfortunately their are a small subset of our society who have a complete disdain for civil behavior.  No matter how restrictive or out right ban they will obtain firearms.  Even if a ban was accomplished criminals or the mentally ill would seek alternative weapons.  This places our citizens at RISK!  FOR THEIR SAFETY OUR CITIZENS NEED TO BE ARMED!  

    

Our Federal Government is now in bed with big business with trade deals, attempted in secret, if passed, will supersede the constitution.  This is TREASON!  When politicians are elected they are required to take an oath of office to support and defend the constitution.  Any politician who actively endorses obvious unconstitutional bills or treatise is committing an act of sedition.

The money centered banks are routinely fined for illegal misdeeds yet deals are struck so that no one goes to prison.  This is a partnership between government and the banks; with the government pocketing(fines) a portion of their ill received gains.

The list goes on and on.  There are some positives.  Many of our 50 states are pushing back against this oppressive government.

I'll leave that for a post for another day.  I need to clean out the grill put the new charcoal in, ready the food and chill the beer.  When friends and relatives arrive it is a day to celebrate our breaking away from King George.  

The fight continues to maintain freedom through eternal vigilance!

Cheers!
