Our right to arms hangs in the balance. [More]
It’ll complicate things, that’s for sure, but I’d say that’s ultimately more up to us.
Still, it’s nice to see acknowledgment that this, along with foreign voter influence, all falls under “single issue.” Perhaps there’s a break in the ice.
“Our right to arms hangs in the balance.”
Actually, no, it does not.
What does hang in the balance is our ability to exercise that right without the infringements specifically prohibited by the language of the Second Amendment.
Something else also hangs in the balance. That would be where our government fits vis a vis the standards set by Jefferson in the “Declaration of Independence.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
