The Founding Fathers Wanted EVERYONE to be Armed

USA - -(AmmoLand.com)- When we talk about the meaning of the Second Amendment, we often forget exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

They didn’t merely want to ensure that every citizen had the right to bear arms or that the Constitution should make it difficult to disarm people. They literally wanted every man in the country to be armed and ready to defend himself and his country. They weren’t just okay with guns, they were vehemently pro-gun.

Just look at what some of the men of that period said about firearms and your duty as an American:

“A free people ought to be armed.” – George Washington

“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert 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.” – Thomas Jefferson

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison

“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry

Those are definitive and clear statements. No one could possibly misunderstand their meaning.

To this end, we want to do our part to ensure that the spirit of the Founding Fathers lives on. So we are giving away one of the best self-defense shotguns in the U.S., the Ithaca Model 37. It’s made with pride and patriotism in the state of Ohio, home of the National Matches, the “World Series of Shooting Sports.”

Anti-Gunners and Obama Intent on Rewriting the Bill of Rights

National Association for Gun Rights

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- Make no mistake! Our Founders were onto something when they enshrined the right to keep and bear arms as the Second Amendment to our nation’s founding document, the United States Constitution.

Because the Second Amendment is part of our nation’s supreme law, attacking gun rights means attacking the very foundation of the country.

The gun grabbers know they have to deal with this supreme law at some point if they’re going to push their radical agenda through.

And so they’ve decided to rewrite the Bill of Rights to best suit their plans.

That’s right. In an attempt to circumvent our nation’s fundamental law, Barack Obama has rewritten his own version of the Bill of Rights and posted it on the White House website.

According to Obama, “The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.”

I don’t know about you, but my right to defend myself comes from my Creator — not from government, not from some bureaucrat or politician, but from my very nature as a human being.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that redefining a fundamental right as a privilege is a very dangerous path to start down.

A right is inherent in our humanity and can never be taken away.

A privilege can be removed at the whim of one’s rulers.

But the President’s redefinition of our nation’s fundamental law isn’t enough for some anti-freedom zealots.

Gun grabbers in our government-run education system are now seeking to brainwash your children into accepting their anti-gun agenda — also by rewriting the Bill of Rights.

Lesson plans in Garland, Texas, (Texas?! Really?!) now teach the Second Amendment by summarizing as follows, “Amendment 2: We can get permission to own weapons to protect ourselves.”

This couldn’t be any further from what the Second Amendment clearly states!

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

(NOTE: The Garland Independent School District has admitted that this was a mistake and says they are taking steps to ensure proper education on the second amendment.)

I want you to call the White House and the Garland Independent School District and demand they restore the original language to the Second Amendment.

Tell them you will not stand for revisionist history or the weakening of our nation’s fundamental law. The Founding Fathers wrote it that way for a reason!
