Sorry Alyssa Milano. The Founding Fathers Were Right, And You’re Still An Ignorant Fool.

The Second Amendment. It’s one of the main elements that makes our country unique. Revisionist resisters talk about it as if it’s a stain on our nation, but truly, the Founding Fathers thought otherwise.

The Founders understood human nature all too well. They knew corruption could grow within an unchecked government all too easily. “Peaceful” regimes could easily grow into tyrannical regimes. After all, that had been the cycle throughout all of human history. They knew they had to found a nation that naturally fought against the bad aspects of human nature (while harnessing the good), and they did just that.

The Founders understood that no free man would ever be stripped of their right to keep and bear arms. You can find that phrase in Thomas Jefferson’s draft of the Virginia Constitution. In another letter to James Madison, Jefferson wrote, “What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”

Speaking of Madison…

“Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”

Go ahead. The Founders TOLD us what they thought of guns. The truth? The Second Amendment wasn’t designed to protect hunters. It was designed to protect law-abiding citizens who value freedom and loathe tyranny. The Second Amendment is a permanent safeguard against the government.

“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.”

Liberals get caught up on the “Well regulated Militia” phrase, but historical context is key. Think about it. Was that a time people were looking to the government for answers and protection? No. “Well regulated” meant disciplined and responsible. If you have a weapon, be responsible and know how to use it. “Militia” was a common term back then too. These days, it’s not a common, everyday word. We think of professional dudes marching, actively preparing for battle. In reality, militias were made up of– you guessed it– regular citizens. Translate that today. A militia– that’s you and your law-abiding, gun owning friends. You’re the militia. Think about how absurd the Second Amendment would be if we applied the left’s logic to it. You’re meaning to tell me the Founders meant to say that an entity controlled and maintained by the government is necessary to keep American citizens safe and free from…the government?

A militia run by the government will protect us from the government?

That’s completely illogical.

Yes. The Second Amendment ensures that we can protect our life, liberty and property. There’s no doubt about that. That point was SO obvious back then that the Founders didn’t feel the need to explicitly state it. Back then, it was common sense. Who would’ve predicted that all common sense would fly out the window over 200 years later.

The Second Amendment exists as a permanent check on the government. Liberals like to say we’re crazy. I’ve heard it all. “Why do you need a gun?! You’re going to TAKE UP ARMS against the government? Seriously? You would do that? You WANT to do that? Are you out of your mind?”

No. I’m not out of my mind, and neither were the Founders. None of us want to “take up arms” against the government, and we’ll likely NEVER have to, thanks to the Second Amendment. That’s the whole point of it. The government is hesitant to tread on our liberties, because it knows what we possess. It knows we’d end up with full blown civil war. Don’t you see? The Second Amendment is actively working. Right now. It always has been.

Other countries don’t have that. There’s virtually nothing stopping corrupt governments from doing the Mexican hat dance on the people’s liberties. Taking guns away from the citizenry is a hallmark of corrupt regimes. There’s a reason for that. That’s why I always laugh when the left pretends that President Trump is a dictator. They’re the ones who want to take guns away from the people.

So. Alyssa Milano. She has an argument, and that argument is…the Second Amendment is outdated!

If it sounds like she’s somehow comparing smallpox to an unalienable right enshrined in the Constitution, it’s because she’s comparing smallpox to an unalienable right enshrined in the Constitution.

Ah yes, using social media and 1st Amendment rights to tell us the 2nd Amendment no longer applies. Nice.

Based on this logic, we should give up math, science, newspapers, medicine, logic, acting, the other 9 guaranteed rights, and a government of, by, and for the people… Oh wait! @Alyssa_Milano makes sense. She thinks her wealth and fame makes her more qualified, or say noble…

The only gun crimes you’ll ever hear the media report about are the ones in which people are killed. You’ll never hear the media talk abt people who prevented crime w/ their guns; very often, just the showing of a gun is all it takes. No shots need be fired at all to stop a crime

So can we ban things like Twitter and Facebook and the internet since they ddin’t exist in 1791?

— CapsNut (@Caps_Nut) February 19, 2018

There certainly was no internet in 1791 – lets eliminate free speech on the web. The Constitution is timeless, silly girl.

Self defense & recognizing we the peoples’ God given right to have means of fighting back against a tyrannical government is not obsolete. Ask Cuba or Venezuela.

You also failed to mention things that were around in 1791 and still around and good today. Like the first amendment !!!! Go figure!

Alyssa’s right about one thing: Some things change, and it’s a good thing. But if you’re going to lump the Second Amendment in with slavery and smallpox, you need help. It’s completely idiotic to crap on an essential founding principle of freedom– a founding principle of freedom that helped shape this country into the greatest country in the history of the world. It’s in the very fabric of our being. It makes us special, and it works.

But I’d be willing to wager that in 1791, parents and schools were Still teaching their children right from wrong, that wrong has consequences, and human beings All deserve simple respect. That THESE have all changed is what’s gone wrong. Blame the culture, not the guns!

That’s exactly what it comes down to. Keep blaming the Second Amendment Alyssa, but it’ll get you nowhere.
