Fighting For Liberty

Robb comes along with GOLD just as my writer’s block is in full swing – in the form of some dumbass NY-based Obama employee named Marc Rubin who’s job is apparently showing everyone how much of an ignorant hack he’s capable of being:

But what the hearings may finally do is put to bed this incredible ignorance over the 2nd amendment, ignorance which quite frankly does gun owners no good at all. Except to constantly put them on the defensive because every time they try to invoke the 2nd amendment to achieve something they want, they lose. And always will. Because the 2nd amendment has absolutely nothing to do with an individual right to own a gun and never did.

At first I thought this guy was joking. No. Make no mistake though – he’s no idiot. People like this are dangerous because they believe their own lies so strongly that they can persuade others.

Let’s analyze some more of what this liar, Marc Rubin, seems to be peddling. First, invoking the Founding Fathers:

The Constitution was written by the greatest collection of minds this country ever had in one place at one time — Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Hamilton, Madison and the rest. They had a tremendous command of language as the Declaration of Independence and Preamble to the Constitution shows, and they knew exactly what they were saying and how to say it. And they knew exactly what they meant.

I couldn’t agree more. Now this …

Most misunderstanding of the 2nd amendment comes from complete ignorance of what the words, “to keep and bear arms” means …

… It means what the Founding Fathers intended it to mean. The word “arms” doesn’t mean the gun or collection of guns in someone’s house. The word “arms” meant the same thing in 1789 as it did in 1066 at the Battle of Hastings and in 1959 when there was an arms race between the US and the Soviet Union. It meant one thing and one thing only to the Founders and to anyone else who understands the english language. “Arms” means weapons of war …

… As for the words “the people”, any constitutional scholar will tell you that when the constitution is talking about an individual right it uses the word “person” and when it is talking about a states right it uses the “the people”. “The right of the people” means the right of the individual states …

Got that you ignorant, inbred, clingy gun owner? Any moron who understands the English language can plainly see that the Founders knew EXACTLY what they were talking about and that the 2nd applies ONLY to states, not to Jeb and his gun collection in his own house!

I’m so mad. It’s an insult to the Founding Fathers. Allow me to put this douchebag in his proper place using the Founder’s own words …

“The said Constitution should be never construed to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.”

-Samuel Adams, Signer of the Declaration of Independence
*Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Held in the Year 1788

“And what country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.”

-Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration
*Memoir, Correspondence and Miscellanies Vol. II, to Colonel Smith, November 13, 1787

“No citizen shall be debarred the use of arms within his own lands.”

-Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration
*From Jefferson’s proposed Constitution of Virginia, June 1776.

“The advantage of being armed is an advantage which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation … In the several kingdoms of Europe … the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”

-James Madison, Father of the Constitution
*Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. Federalist #46, by James Madison

“I consider and fear the natural propensity of rulers to oppress the people. I wish only to prevent them from doing evil … Divine providence has given to every individual the means of self-defense.”

-George Mason, Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and “Father of the Bill of Rights”
*Debates … of the Convention of Virginia – George Mason on June 14, 1788

“Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great-Britain, the British parliament was advised … to disarm the people. That it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them. But that they should not do it openly; but to weaken them and let them sink gradually.”

-George Mason, Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and “Father of the Bill of Rights”
*Debates … of the Convention of Virginia – George Mason on June 14, 1788.

So do you want to tell me again, liar Marc Rubin, that the Founding Fathers never intended an individual right when it comes to the 2nd Amendment? You want to tell me that it doesn’t apply to – as you put it – ” the gun or collection of guns in someone’s house” when someone such as Thomas Jefferson himself says, “No citizen shall be debarred the use of arms within his own lands.”

Marc Rubin is a lying scumbag of the lowest kind. He is intentionally distorting facts and completely re-writing history in order to shape it around beliefs in his own mind that he’s too cowardly to challenge.

The Founding Fathers were crystal clear when it came to the 2nd Amendment. It’s an individual right – my right – period.
