In an historic decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, they have upheld our INDIVIDUAL rights to keep and bear arms, stating that the Washington D.C. ban on firearms is unconstitutional.

This is one of the most important decisions of our lifetime. If not because it protects only our rights to bear arms, but it says that the Bill Of Rights shall not be infringed. The problem is that if one right, guaranteed by the constitution can be taken away from us, then other rights can be taken away also.

More to the point, the second amendment is the one that ensured all the rest. You see, in history, there has never been a population armed with rifles, intent to resist, that has been able to be suppresses by an oppressive government. This means that as long as we have the right to bear arms, we also have the right to resist injustice and stand up for those that cannot stand up for themselves; in other words ensure our liberty.

Freedom is not freedom if it is controlled by someone else. Freedom is only freedom if you grasp it with both hands, and refuse to let it go up to and including at the cost of your life.

If you still have your doubts, think of the worst despots, fascistic, dictators, and tyrants of the 20^th century. Let me give you some examples: Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Slobodan Milosevic, Augusto Pinochet, Ibi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Qaddafi, Pol Pot, Fransisco Franco, Enver Hoxa, Nicolae Ceausescu, Che Guevara. What do all of these men have in common? Upon assuming power, they all took dramatic steps to limit the ownership of firearms by the body politic. Many of them armed revolutionaries, but never have they armed civilians.

It only makes sense though. If you are planning to strip a group of people of their rights, property and liberty, who wants them in any kind of condition to resist?

In the coming months, we will see hundreds of smaller cases contesting our right to own different types of firearms, attempts to limit particular firearms in certain areas, and expansion of rights in the forms of fully automatic weapons and silencers. Don’t let these suits scare you. Whether or not they are enacted or turned down should be a state’s issue. However the greater right is ensured.

Please watch these events carefully. They will have far reaching repercussions. I truly believe that great amounts of good will come from this ruling.

I’m sure that many of you still have questions. Many of you may disagree with my opinions on this matter. I want to state openly that I respect the opinions of those that do not agree. So I am making this offer: If any of you have questions that you would like answers to, if you agree or disagree with the supreme courts ruling, or if you would like more information about my personal standpoint on firearms, write in. Please let us know what you think of this issue. However, if you write in on this matter, please expect that I will comment on your opinion, but I promise I will do it with intellectual thought and an attempt at kindness.

God Bless America.
