USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Such candidates make themselves ineligible to attain the office.
They cannot in good faith take the oath of office without lying.
The U.S. Bill of Rights has a plain and direct ban on infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Presidential candidates who run must know, as the public does, that if they win the election they must take the oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
If a candidate harbors an intent to ban or confiscate arms the public already owns, that oath cannot be taken honestly or legitimately. Such a person cannot validly hold the office and must not run. This is the simple and plain position of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, www.jpfo.org. This applies to state races and other offices as well. Political parties themselves are expected to know this and act accordingly, refusing to endorse candidates whose stated goal is the destruction or abolition of the Constitution’s requirements.
Numerous candidates running for president have proven themselves ineligible to the office by this plain standard. By declaring plans for infringement even before taking office, we the people cannot expect those candidates to honor their oath or the Constitution, and they should do the respectable thing and withdraw. No punishment is provided in our national charters for such malfeasance short of armed revolt, which is why our Founders provided for an armed electorate. If an election is an insufficient safeguard for our liberties, these candidates threaten the very fabric of the nation and must do one of two things—change their platform or withdraw.
JPFO is keenly aware of the nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage and has set its moral compass accordingly.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” –John Adams, 2nd president of the United States, Oct. 11, 1798.
The oath of office is a meaningful thing. It is not there for no reason or to be taken lightly. America runs on honor — not all systems do. If a person approaches public office with the purpose of deception, or willful design to ignore or abrogate its terms, such breach nullifies that person’s moral authority to attain the position. That’s why oaths exist. You must take the oath and honor it. Failure to do so undermines the very nature of “our system” — which is more than its written documents.
That this even has to be said is stunning. Americans used to know this to their core. It was beyond reproach. When we were a deeply honorable people it needn’t even be said. Now saying it is virtually controversial.
The parties themselves should know better. They no longer do, or actively participate in undermining the oath. It is in fact the quintessential argument and requirement. Their failure to honor the oath is an abomination.
The president must take the constitutional oath and mean it.
JPFO cannot possibly stand behind any other position, and still stand for the preservation of firearms ownership.
If it proves to be controversial, we’ll just have to withstand the slings, arrows, and spotlight. Do you stand with us and the oath — or against us? Support JPFO.

About Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, www.jpfo.org is America’s most aggressive civil-rights organization, dedicated to destroying the notion of `gun control’ as any kind of credible public-policy position. So-called `gun control’ does not control guns and doesn’t control criminal behavior. What it does is disarm the innocent, leaving them helpless in the face of criminals, tyrannical governments and genocide. History repeatedly proves this fact. Founded in 1989 by Aaron Zelman as a response to the Holocaust, JPFO speaks with the moral authority and tenacious commitment of survivors of persecution and knows that surrendering your personal and family safety to government protection courts disaster. You don’t have to be Jewish to fight by our side, you just have to love liberty.
And the obvious is ignored by the masses of dumbed down sheeple on a daily basis. It’s as if we live in a nation of zombies that can’t comprehend even the simplest common sense truths.
Thank you JPFO! I do like how Bloomturd is splintering the democrat party. If he buys the nomination the young, socialist democrats are going to explode! Old grouchy Bernie and his communist followers are going to explode! The anti-white, anti-prosperity, anti-freedom crowd is going to explode! This the great and free entertainment. Almost as fun as free ammunition.
If HiLIARy gets into the race, I will buy fifty yard line, front row season tickets!
Yes, they would have to, and many times already have, lied in taking their oath of office. This is obviously willful and they have malevolent intent to the nation. Thus, I call it treason. Treason carries with it a legitimate, lawful, warranted and a very final penalty that is duly earned. That penalty is death. There is no lesser penalty that any court could impose. I would however, add a public tarring and feathering to be used as prison clothing until such time as sentence is carried out. When/if the day ever comes when treasonous people are prosecuted by the… Read more »
Those who have no honor in the first place couldn’t care less about taking any oath. 42 and 44 were very big on deception and oath talking meant absolutely nothing to them.
Those running on the “D” ticket today have absolutely no understanding of the word, “honor.”
I get so tired of you people chattering like it means something……ALL democrats are cancerous dogshit, and until this rot is cut out and incinerated, they will continue to urinate on the constitution and everything that is America. You people will still be chattering about protests, rights, and voting as the DNC/antifa jackboots herd you out of the cattle cars and into the showers……

Interesting that many such questions directed at WA State legislators has been met with stoic silence on the issue. Out of the entire body of both houses, there has been only one or voices that have acknowledged this duty. I will continue to hold their feet to this fire. But this is THE question to ask and for which to demand answers.
He should be sued for treasonous intent.
Also, he should be BANNED from even running for the OFFICE.
A traitor to the Const cannot ever be SWORN IN AS CIC.
Come Nov, Do check the BACK of your ballot . The dems might try to change the constitution, If you miss this, IT WILL COUNT AS A YES VOTE. This is another attack on our First and Second Amendment rights . BE FOR-WARNED.
Until we the people start holding these treasonous politicians and bureaucrats fully accountable for Dereliction of Duty and Treason with long prison sentences and death penalties, along with arresting and or ridding the Marxist professors and teachers in our colleges, universities, and schools, they’ll continue in their quest to destroy our Republic of the USA. Anyone within any affiliated party campaigning for any government or leadership position that knowingly and openly state that they’re going to do something that infringes on any one of our constitutional rights should automatically be disqualified, banned, and not be allowed to be on the… Read more »
