"I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies…" — Thomas Jefferson to John Adams
Last Saturday, I did two things: 1. I bought an AR-15; 2. I bought physical silver.
As an analyst, commentator, and concerned citizen, I feel it's important you understand why. Plus you read this letter to get moneymaking insights and opinions that cover the broad scope of the entire market...
What could be a better insight than telling you exactly where and why my skin is in the game?
Let's begin with a reading of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Now a definition of infringe:
And now the first three gun control measures being proposed by President Obama, as printed by the Wall Street Journal:
Requiring background checks for all gun buyers [needs congressional approval]
Ban certain semiautomatic rifles [needs congressional approval]
Require a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines [needs congressional approval]
Now, I've taken a few logic, ethics, and rhetoric courses in my day... and the pathos here is in the toilet.
Any move to require something, to ban something, or to limit something is, by definition, infringing.
The Constitution is being violated — and it sets a very scary precedent. Your supposedly inherent rights are being dismantled before your very eyes.
Even more alarming, a good chunk of the zombified populace seems to condone it. In a survey of 1,500 adults last week, Pew found that 58% favor a ban on semi-automatic weapons.
I'll let Benjamin Franklin tell you what's wrong with this:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. " — Benjamin Franklin, 1759
I refuse to give up essential liberty. I fully believe a right not exercised is a right lost. And I'm not alone...
Comment
So your point is (using the same logic) that it is unconstitional to limit the use of fully automatic weapons, armor piercing ammo, RPGs, black hawk helipcopters, tanks and bombers by private individuals within the US?
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
