Sharia Law. I had heard about it, little things, brutal things, but those laws existed in countries that are backwards, albeit rich from oil (ok not rich from the oil, rich from Countries like ours who purchase that oil). So what concern was it of mine what Sharia Law is. Besides we have our own laws, admittedly some stupid, some blatantly illegal (read the second amendment) but they are ours and based in some way on our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Then I saw the video (see the link above) and it scared the hell out of me. It is not one part of the video but the whole thing, the things that are said (I really encourage you to watch the video and also the unedited version that is available also).
The parts where the gentleman is trying to get a question answered shows a lot and tells a lot about Islam. But it is the parts where the people are the victims of assault and battery and of
threats of violence. This all took place in public place that was open to the public. You did not need a pass or buy a ticket to get in, all were allowed in. They were told that Christians had to go to a certain intersection to speak on their faith? Since when did we dispense of the First Amendment?
Have you ever wondered on how the amendments were put in order? I cannot back this up with documentation, but to me, and for me the first amendment is the most important right we have. Any people not able to speak out is not, and cannot be free. Then we come to the second amendment. Why is it so high? If you read the writings of people like Jefferson, Franklin, Mason and more they explain that only an armed society could be a society with free speech. Our founding fathers made some great leaps of faith. 2oo plus years and EVERY single amendment is still an important part of our heritage, our country and our very life.
The do-gooder anti-gun zealots don't mind using the 1st amendment to spout their rheotoric about the 2nd amendment. Us with the guns are the only thing standing between you and a country that could quash all of our other rights. Take this for example. A swat team appears at your door, knocking it down, crashing through windows, taking your family and putting them handcuffed on the floor. You are terrified. You have done nothing wrong. An officer walks up to you and says "sorry we got the wrong address" and they walk out. Today I guarantee there would be media of all kinds ready to make a case for you, get out the word for the abuse, tell everyone that you got a "sorry" and they did not even fix your doors. Now lets skip ahead and there is no longer a 2nd amendment. The anti gunners have finally won (that thought scares me to death) . So the swat team has come to your house again, and again wrongly for you are innocent. However this time you have no media to go to, you have no internet to post your complaints, in fact if you can find a place to complain it is likely no one will listen to you since that will probably be illegal and anti-government.
What was the intention of the 2nd amendment? People have argued this for ages. The words about the militia is pointed to be the anti gun zealots as meaning it is only for a group of people who form a militia. However the terminology is simple to understand when you listen to the words of the original authors. James Mason states "who is the militia? It is all of us". He does not say the 18 year olds. It is each of us. We are all tasked with protecting our lives and that includes stopping a government from becoming a tyranny. Yes we are tasked with taking the country back if a regime takes over and tries toremove our rights.
Support our way of life. Support the 2nd amendment and it will protect us.
