This thread is to discuss the right of self defense. This translates directly to the right to keep and bear arms in my opinion.
I have given this much thought. In every nation that is built on central control be it a dictator, king, or other type of central authority the right to keep and bear arms is restricted. This dates back as far as you care to go in human history. In the feudal period in Japan and in Europe and in Asia only those elite who were close to the central authority were given this right.
All others were subjects and had no fundamental right. In Japan you simply got on your knees and bowed your head so the Samurai could cut off your head if you offended him or broke the law in some way.
This is the reason for the gesture of knighthood in Europe of bending the knee and bowing the head. This was meaning my life is yours do with it as you will I am your subject.
Then when this loyalty was established then and only then were you given the right to bear arms. But you did so for the king.
It is clear in the US constitution that this whole ideal of the right of the sovereign to control your right to self defense was abhorred and rejected. The right to keep and bear arms is the right to self defense. Being given this personal right to bear arms means you are subject to no king or central control. It meant that you were your own man and could protect your own life and those you love.
You did not have to wait till the police or soldiers arrived to protect you. You could take care of your own life and those of your family.
To ever give up this basic US Constitutional right is to be guilty of being ignorant of why you have this right in the first place. Study your history and you will see. This basic and fundamental right is the second amendment in the US constitution for one reason.
That is to say that no king and no police or army is established above your authority over your own life. Give up this right and you give up your basic right for your freedom to exist in the first place.
I was so disappointed to see the Australians, so much like Americans in their love of freedom give up to socialist pressure and give in and loose this most basic right. Now just try and take it back and see what happens. I was heart sick to hear that the Australians had blundered and given up their right to self defense.
Soon you will remember why that right was so important to your fore fathers. the time is coming when a greater central control will seek to dominate every country and political system. They will all bend the knee that can not defend themselves.
