There is NO Constitutionally Sanctioned Gun Control!

Okay, folks, we are in the final stretch here with our Second Amendment Rights and we had better change tactics or we will lose them forever! I'm really out of patience with this issue, and everyone who values freedom should be too! Let me reiterate - there is NO Constitutionally sanctioned gun control - none - nada - zilch! So why do all the folks who claim to believe in Second Amendment rights still put the stupid qualifications on it? It is no darned wonder we are losing this battle!
The NRA, probably the most valuable tool against all-out gun grabbing we have, is so weighted down in political correctness that they are almost non-effectual on the issue. They do their wheeling and dealing to satisfy the liberal socialist agenda instead of steadfastly defending the intention of the Founding Fathers. The "right of the people to keep and bear arms" does not leave any room for the Federal government to place ANY restrictions on free people. Period. The only folks who should not have access to guns are those who are not free anyway. They are either locked up in jails or mental institutions. But if they are out on the streets with the rest of us, they have the same rights, and we had better start including everybody in the defense of those rights or none of us will have any! Does a building have to fall on everybody before they see that?
It is not up to the government to determine who has what privileges. If anybody can read our Constitution and find the support for this line of thinking, they must be on mind-altering drugs or something. Same with believing that search and seizure is okay in some instances, or filtered speech is okay - for goodness sakes, read the Bill Of Rights again without the prejudice! ALL of our security problems would instantly dissolve if the government would butt out of the individual's right to protect himself! Crime would diminish, prisons would be places where we put real law-breakers and the drug problems would take a gut punch like this "war on drugs" has failed to deliver. Society would get real polite again, and issues of morality would be well defined between good and evil, beneficial and detrimental, right and wrong.
Those who would see the citizens of this country fall under some worldwide jurisdiction would quickly find out that they didn't have as much power as they think they have. The elites who control every aspect of our lives by holding the purse stings of debt would be all but silenced while we set about to reestablish a monetary system of exchange that did not abide a cashless philosophy, horrendous taxation to run an immoral machine of evil control over us all. They could take their secret meetings and their inhuman agendas for world control and stuff them where the sun don't shine, because a truly free people would never be duped by their arrogant wealth manipulations.
The long and short of it is that achieving the American Dream is all but impossible unless we embrace the true meaning of freedom. The combination of useless legislation, tyrannical executive orders, and ungodly legal code would be dissolved in a sea of Natural Law and God given rights that would once again lead humanity out of the dark ages and into a world of beautiful justice, unlike any the world has ever known, but that the Founders envisioned. It all begins with a steadfast refusal to accept qualifications on what we know to be right!
We can't expect anyone who affiliates with party politics to accomplish the task of taking our country back. It will not happen. We need to stop thinking we can pick the lesser of the evils to lead us away from evil. We need to stop accepting promises made by people who have no allegiance to freedom - but instead benefit from world control elitists. The nine people who sit on the bench of the Supreme Court need to be reminded that they are not Gods - just people who are supposed to be literate enough to interpret the Constitution first and not seek out precedents from an immoral past to support continuing a long haul to tyranny. Some of us out here have not put our brains in the pickle jar yet!
Do people exist who could pick up the reins of true representation of freedom and ride the horse of politics through the halls of justice and reform? I believe they are out there, shaking their heads and saying to themselves, "Why should I bother? Nobody cares, and I could never get elected anyway." I hope they are out there, and I hope they will be recognized and encouraged to follow their aspirations for a free America once more. The kind of people I am talking about will openly condemn barricades to liberty, swear a solemn oath to God and country - and mean it, and throw their white hats into the ring full of black ones every single chance they get. These people could show us who they are by refusing to be whores to the mantra of gun control. That would be a very convincing first step.
