Hot button 2! Gun Control: Congress is required, under Article I, Section 8 of the constitution, to;
Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
In Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, the President is named the Commander-in-Chief of the Militia when called into actual service of the US.
We bleat about our constitutional rights to posses and carry personal firearms and hang our hats on a flimsy clause in Amendment II that states “…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” We totally ignore the foundation of that right, which predates the constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation (original US constitution).
Martial Law has been threatened, and/or implemented, by every administration since Lincoln! Neither Congress nor the President has the constitutional authority to engage the active Army against ‘We, the People’ to enforce laws passed by congress. That is the exclusive domain of the Militia, not the Army, FBI, FEMA, Homeland Security, US Marshals or any other alphabet soup agency we have been saddled with. Every one of these ‘agencies’ is a protector of government, not individual rights.
Neither Congress nor the States have the constitutional authority to confiscate our weapons or pass a single law regulating them. They are obliged to see that weapons of equal grade to the active military are available to us as well as all accouterments of war and that includes fully automatic weaponry.
They have tried to end run the constitution by instating the National Guard and convincing the people that it is the Militia. It isn’t! It is a Special Federal Militia and the States only have tacit control of the forces. Congress has also tried to limit the Militia by imposing age limits and other limiting factors.
Every gun control act is a direct attack upon the constitutional provisions recognizing the Militia and the requirement for an armed citizenry.
Dr. Edwin Vieira more fully explains all of this in his 8 part dissertation that I encourage all to study.
The Militia is nothing to be feared. It is to be supported to the utmost of our ability for it is empowered to enforce the constitution.
By destroying the Militia’s ability to perform its constitutional duty, the Federal government leaves the states of the nation, and more importantly the citizens, prostrate before it and especially the States of the CSA that are being invaded by illegal immigrants.
