Repealing the Second Amendment Is Easier than You Think:

() In Tuesday’s New York Times, former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens calls for a repeal of the Second Amendment, calling it a “relic of the 18th century.”

In response, many commentators have focused on what would be involved in repealing the amendment, noting that the formal amendment process is very costly and difficult. Amending the Constitution requires securing two-thirds majorities in both the House and the Senate — and then three-fourths of the states would have to ratify the amendment.

My Commentary: Although Supreme Court judges are duty-bound to uphold the Constitution, they see no issue in using their ultra-minority-based “decisions” to completely modify its original terms.

It’s no coincidence that yesterday’s New York Times article about repealing the Second Amendment was written by a retired Supreme Court judge…

The Bill of Rights GRANTS Nothing, But Rather, GUARANTEES Our Natural-Born Rights

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after an acquaintance posted artwork from here…

Oniel D.:

“The Bill of Rights is not negotiable – SHARE this urgent declaration
There is a destructive, delusional meme spreading like a virus among many misguided Americans. It pushes the idea that government can pick and choose which rights codified in the Bill of Rights it wishes to recognize or discard on any given day.
This delusion is predicated on the concept that if a popular majority can be emotionally whipped into a frenzy over one particular right, then that right can simply be discarded and stricken from the Bill of Rights.
But no such power exists to discard any portion of the Bill of Rights, at least not without proper ratification by three-fourths of the fifty states. There is no such power found solely in the federal government. There is no such power placed solely in the executive branch, nor in Congress, nor in the White House.
The Bill of Rights describes a set of individual rights and liberties which are not granted by government, but recognized as DIVINE rights given to use by our Creator. Because government never granted the rights in the first place, it has no authority to take them.”

Rayn: Indeed! In their slumber, many have forgotten that the Bill of Rights only *guarantees* our Natural rights – which are an inherent to our Self-Ownership. To believe that a legal document can “grant” us our BIRTHRIGHT of FREEDOM is dangerously naive, and logically fallacious! Anything that can be given and taken away would more accurately called a PRIVILEGE!
