Your God Given Rights..........

I'll stir the pot again here. Does anyone realize that all of this arguing, fighting, spending, etc. that we do to "keep" our right to carry openly, concealed, or you name it, is a waste of time? As citizens of the United States, we do not need any license, we do not need permission from the Mayor of New York, we do not need permission from our mommies! The Constitution and Bill of Rights states that we can carry anything we want, any way we want, and any where we want. It does not say, "only on Sunday" or "if the Police Commissioner of Gotham City says we can." WE, on this forum, NRA members, 2nd Amendment Foundation members, etc., etc., need to grow some "cahones" and start carrying all the time, and everywhere. Yeah, you're right.....we might get stopped, arrested, thrown in the "klink." But, how can we face ourselves in the mirror knowing that we are afraid to lose something doing what we have the right to do? Our Founding Fathers, risked everything, including being hanged, for us. Some even lost their fortunes, their familys, even their lives. What have we done? We sign up for illegal permits, illegal licenses, bow to illegal tyrants who tell us we must follow their rules. Isn't it about time WE did something? I have been carrying a weapon since I was 14, with my dad's permission I might add. I carried concealed and open, depending on the circumstances. I carried my weapon, when I drove trucks cross-country in every major city in the East. Yeah, it was against "mans" law.....but my right wasn't given to me by a "man." I tell everyone I meet that the day a "politician" can walk on water, is the day I will accept his law. Anyone else out there doing this? Out

Well, the NRA doesn't belive what you espouse.
Try again. This time though, try to be more convincing.
Rights? Sure...
We have the right to shutup and pay pay pay.[:(!][V]
Still hasn't changed my position, though.
James, practicing this belief while traveling through OH, is verrrrry expensive.[:D] Woohoo.....[xx(]

You know why Ohio won't reconize my Indiana CWP? Because I didn't take a "training" coarse through the NRA to get a permit in Indiana.
But wait! The NRA is saving our gun rights! They are the last line of defense for us ignorant gun owners! Without them we would be defending ourselves with sticks and rocks! [xx(][xx(][xx(]

In red above. A lot of people are carrying firearms without a license. At some point in time you will be able to contact them at your state penitentiary.
I agree that most all gun laws are unconstitutional. But many here believe that ALL gun laws are unconstitutional. I am guessing that the difference between my "most" and their "all" is less than a 5% difference. But because the "all" believers are so extreme we seem to be mortal enemies. Enemies more so than the people who actually want to take away all citizens gun rights.
The way to get our gun rights and other constitutional rights back is not to become one of the criminal class by getting arrested and becoming a convicted felon. The way to get our rights back is to organize and fight the political fight until we win. In the meantime hold our noses and follow the rules until we can get those rules changed. We are making progress. 30 years ago if you went into your local sheriff's office and asked about applying for a permit to carry a concealed firearm they would have laughed you out of their office.

Geez Wolf, Madjack comes on this form wanting "to grow some cahones" and all you have to offer him in the way of support is to inform him that if he grows cahones and gets caught in OH, it will be "verrrrry expensive?" I expected better from you. With all the canary * posting about having grown their "cahones" over the years, and ridiculing anyone who hasn't yet grown theirs, I would think you could have given Madjack much, much better and more supportative and aggressive advice.
Something along the lines of advising him to carry a copy of the US Constitutional Second Amendment and when he gets caught with his cahones and his concealed firearm, stick that copy of the 2A in the cop's face and then just drive away.
But all you did was whine about expenses like some accountant. Maybe you lost your cahones. You better check.

Ummm, once again your inability to comprehend the simplest things rears it's head. I was conversing with James, clearly. I would explain, but it would be a waste of time, simpleton.

Gee Fox, could you explain WHICH laws you think are constitutional? Since you belive "most" are unconstitutional, it should be easy to explain which you think ARE constitutional.
But maybe not.

Fair question. I believe that all peaceful, lawful citizens should be able to carry their firearms anyway they want anyplace they want. When it comes time to purchase a firearm, I do not disagree with providing proof of my identity and the seller is welcomed to compare my name to a known list of criminals, terrorists, convicted dangerous felons, and illegal aliens and if my identity is found to be one of those people then I can not legally, quickly and easily purchase a gun. This means if I still want to illegally buy a gun, I must find illegal sources. Hopefully, while I am trying to purchase an illegal gun from and illegal source, we all will be discovered, arrested and removed from society so as to present no further threat to you or yours.

So, you are saying you support NICS checks?
But then you support NO other gun laws?
You need to be clear here Fox. It is great you are willing to answer a question, but don't blow smoke up my *. You know I am always clear with you and everyone else for that matter.
My God gives me the right to sleep with married women ! [:p]
And just How is Mrs Melkor doing these days? (Btw - maybe this should be in it's own thread.....[;)])

LOL! The NRA ah yes! Our friend. Right! The Nra is for the NRA. I'll stick with Gun Owners of America.
let me try to shed light on this subject. All of the original Amendments in the Bill of Rights were considered "God given rights" by the Founders of our country. They are not claiming God gave these rights but are saying ALL men are granted these rights and the government does not have to power to regulate or restrict them in any way. This is why they are called God given rights, because it is not within the governments power to regulate or restrict them. That being said most people do not realize the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were not written for the people but were written to LIMIT THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT. Its absolutely true that any law regulateing the possesion or ownership of a firearm(s) is unConstitutional since the government was NEVER granted that authority from the start. Another thing to realize is the founders knew from past experience that a government left unchecked would over time turn into a tyranny and oppress the people. This was the sole reason for the right to keep and bear arms. They wanted to assure the people would ALWAYS have the means to protect themselves from the government should it become a tyranny (an out of control government).
Thanks, squarely struck on the head driving the truth home. Many here are under license of the government and want to keep their status and gun seller and government agent.

The NRA is sometimes a lapdog for the powers that rule.
GOA and SAF are much better at holding Constitutional values. JMO.
i think our "god given rights" are fast being perverted to muslim and illegal "rights" at real Americans expense
Our rights have been perverted. Why? In part because of an ignorant population that knows who's playing who daily in baseball,football, hockey, and any other sport, BUT, can't tell you who their senator and congressmen are. Don't understand the meaning of God Given Rights, don't participate in local elections,don't call their elected officials. There are few patriots left in America.
od given rights and it is lazy Americans at fault.JMO.

And as far as a license to carry goes, any one who gives up his or her rights deserves what they get.So shall you sow so shall you reap.
JMO.
What kind of a defeatist statement is that, so are we to believe that since our rights are not recognized by these idiots that we simply bow to them and hang our heads while they put shackles on us and lead us around to go work for them and do and say and think what they tell us simply because they say so??? I think not and refuse to comply with their bs laws and refuse to be arrested as well or incarcerated as if they want my guns then they will have to pry them from my cold dead fingers, defiant to the death if necessary, unless HR822 is passed I guess.
