My recent posts regarding Operation Redwing have generated more buzz than nearly any other topic we've covered on this blog. I am proud and encouraged by the many posts and comments in support of our fallen heros. If those of us blessed with freedom ever forget how freedom is obtained and maintained, we will quickly lose it. To do so would be a travesty for our children and grandchildren.
Further, many have asked me to comment upon the concealed weapon controversy. As one police officer friend of mine said, "You pretty much only hear of mass shootings in "gun safe" zones." What he meant by that is that criminals are free to break the law where the same laws refrain honest citizens from protecting themselves. In other circumstances, gunmen have attempted shootings in places and situations where armed civilians were on hand to save the day. These occurrences, of course, get little publicity in our modern media.
As for the Right to Bear Arms perhaps meaning the right to bear arms only in mass form, such as in the formation of a militia, I do not in any way believe this was the intention of the framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The entire Constitution and Bill of Rights, beginning with the revolutionary document of the Declaration of Independence, are founded upon the rights of the INDIVIDUAL. The secret to our society is the rights of the individual, officially respected and maintained in our government's founding documents. Additionally, all one has to do is read the extensive writings (letters, briefs, pamphlets, bills, etc.) written by the founders of the United States. Their position on nearly every issue is clear from the mountains of pages they wrote in their lifetimes. We are not forced to "guess" at what their original intentions were, nor should we be led astray by those revisionists who not only want to re-write our history, but re-write our rights. Very simply put, the Right to Bear Arms means, (are you ready for this?) we each have the The Right to Bear Arms!
