A Woman's Right to Choose is Under Attack!

Disarmament of the populace will be the first step in depriving our children of their civil rights and human rights. Without the right to bear arms, there are no other rights.

My right to choose is under attack. I choose liberty and freedom. I choose that my children and my children’s children are born and grow up in a free society. Disarmament of the populace will be the first step in depriving our children of their civil rights and human rights. Without the right to bear arms, there is no right to free speech, no right to due process, no right to trial by jury and certainly no right to be secured against unreasonable search and seizure. There will be rights and no choice. Your dictator will decide and will rule by executive order. Your dictator will decide who lives and dies. Recent history attests to the fact that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Ironically, many who viciously attack the Second Amendment do so by invoking their free speech protections under the First Amendment. Yet they seem blind to the realization that the First Amendment itself is only made possible by the Second Amendment that balances power between the people and the government, ensuring that the individual right to bear arms serves as a check and balance against the monopoly of violence every government inherently seeks. Obama threating to bypass Congress and create laws by executive order is an example. A government with a monopoly of force is a government that respects no boundaries and honors no limits. Grasping this point requires competent, critical thinking, which is why so many who now flourish in a diet of pop culture idiocy and media sensationalism fail to understand it.
