The following wisdom from our founding fathers is overlooked by our government for good reason: the right to bear arms is to protect the people from the tyranny of government. What would that tyranny look like:
- The murder of innocent people – LaVoy Finnicum
- The murder of innocent women and children – Waco, TX massacre, Ruby Ridge
- The murder of babies and sale of their organs for profit – Planned Parenthood
- Excessive taxation – working people pay 50% of their wages for taxation and regulatory laws
- Abuse of the Constitution – Executive orders
- Abuse of Religion – Christians are labelled as right wing extremists
- Attacks on veterans – VA scandal and veterans labelled as potential terrorists
- Attacks on free speech – standing on Biblical principles is considered hate speech and can result in fines in New York
- Declaration of illegal wars – wars are declared with Congressional approval by calling them kinetic actions
- Foreign embassies are abandoned when attacked – Ambassador Stevens and three Americans were abandoned and killed. The government is still covering this scandal up
The list of abuses is much larger but there is only one question to be asked and answered: what would a tyrannical government look like if it was in place in the United States? You know the truth. What will you do to defend your country and family from the domestic enemies that the founding fathers presciently warned us about?

Patrick Henry: “The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun.”
James Madison: “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed–unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.” Ah humm!
Samuel Adams: “The Constitution shall never be construed…to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
Alexander Hamilton: “The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.”
James Madison: “The right of the people to keep (to have and to hold, openly or concealed) and bear (carry, transport and use) firearms (weapons of self-defense, including the handgun which predated the rifle and has existed for self-defense since the 1500’s) shall not be infringed (invalidated, limited, abridged). A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country…”
George Mason: “I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.”
Elbridge Gerry: “I ask what is the purpose of the militia? To offset the need of large standing armies, the bane of liberty.”
Thomas Jefferson: “The constitutions of most of our states that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; and they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property and freedom of the press.”
Thomas Jefferson: “THE STRONGEST REASON FOR THE PEOPLE TO RETAIN THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS IS, AS A LAST RESORT, TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST TYRANNY IN GOVERNMENT.“
SO, CONSTITUTIONALLY THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN AND BEAR ARMS AS AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT. THE MILITIA CONSISTS OF ALL THE PEOPLE, AT ALL TIMES. EVERY CITIZEN HAS THE ABSOLUTE, GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO BE ARMED AND TO DEFEND HIS PERSON, FAMILY, PROPERTY AND COUNTRY. NO GOVERNMENT OR LEGISLATURE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO RESIST OR INFRINGE IN ANY WAY ON THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE ARMED!

It must also be understood that the Militia is NOT the same thing as the National Guard.
