There is so much noise regarding the tragedy in a Connecticut school perhaps some pertinent perspective is in order.
The Marxist currently residing in OUR White House stated, during a TV interview, while running for US Senator, that the US Constitution was an obstacle. Precisely! It is the framework of a FREE people. It represents a road map for a nation of laws; not a nation of men, as he envisages...and, if enforced as intended, prevents him from circumventing the Constitution via Executive Orders.
If you read the majority brief, written by Supreme Court Justice Alito, for McDonald vs Chicago, the explanation of the Second and Fourteenth Amendments is quite concise, and easily understood by non-legal people. Our President, his buffoon Vice President and the lapdog left-wing media have chosen to ignore the Supreme Court rulings (Heller vs Washington, D.C. and Mcdonald vs Chicago), the wisdom of our Founders, factual data and common sense.
To understand the intent of our Founders one needs to read their writings...any contemporary interpretation is inaccurate and irrelevant. To get to the truth, disregard everyone but the men who signed the Declaration and the Constitution...their words are clear and require NO 21st Century interpretation.
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”…Thomas Jefferson
“A government that does not trust its law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is itself unworthy of trust”…James Madison
"To disarm the people... was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."…
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."...George Mason
"The great object is that every man be armed."…Patrick Henry
