THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - Question: Freedom or Slavery?

Opinion by Martin

Right now, in this Country, a battle is raging.  It is the battle over whether or not You, as an individual should be allowed to own a gun.  It is also a battle over Freedom or Slavery!

In the aftermath of several horrendous shootings, two at Christmastime: Newtown, CT and Webster, NY as well as the one in Aurora, CO earlier this year, the politicians here in Colorado and other states have decided that a privately-owned firearm is a threat to public safety and are planning to charge head-on toward gun control during the 2013 Legislative sessions.

There are several organizations including The Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence and Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), which have pulled out all of the stops in a battle to overturn the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, especially the Second Amendment.

If successful, these groups would disarm the majority of American citizens leaving them to depend on the government at local, state and federal levels for protection against burglars, home invaders, muggers, with obvious intent, and government agencies bent on controlling Your lives. 

In order to see what some governments have in store for You, just look at New York City where Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who founded and funds MAIG, has outlawed salt on tables in restaurants and soft drinks larger than 16 ounces as well as locking away formula in hospitals, telling new mothers that they should breast-feed their babies.  Then there is Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago, with some of the most stringent gun laws in the US and over 300 children have been shot and killed or wounded during 2012.  Also during 2012, Washington, DC has seen an increase in mob violence with definite racial overtones, mainly Black on Black, but spilling over into the White community.  These three cities would be considered war zones if they were located in an Eastern Mediterranean country, but they are in the United States and their mayors all decry private ownership of firearms as opposed to looking at the governing practices of their own administrations.  They look at You, the citizen, as the root of their problems.

It is up to You, as a citizen, to contact Your local representatives at all levels and remind them that they swore to uphold the Constitution of the State in which You live as well as the Constitution of the United States.  Remind them that they work for You, the voter; not some “deep-pocketed” special interest group.  It is up to You to protect Your Rights as a citizen.

Even if you don’t own a firearm, have never owned a firearm, and don’t want to own a firearm, please remember that those people who legally own firearms stand between You and the rest of Your Freedoms which includes the Right to redress the government for grievances.  If the Second Amendment is declared void, the rest of Your Rights are in line for extinction and the government will completely control Your lives from start to finish. 

You will lose your Freedom and become a Slave!
