That's it.... Divide and Conquer....
<snipped a bit of extraneous rantings>
Please explain to us how anything UATKP said was divisive, or who he could possibly want to "conquer" on the pro-2nd-Amendment side of the fence. He referred another poster to an active thread where the track-record of the NRA was/is being discussed in-depth. UATKP believes in the
unabridged 2nd Amendment, the one where all that is needed for anyone to understand and adhere to its meaning is for them to
read it. That's it, just read the darned thing, understanding while you're reading it that the Founding Fathers of this once-great nation intended that meaning to stand for perpetuity, without any need for political compromises, or SCOTUS interpretations, or gun owners being divided against each other for
any purpose, to conquer or otherwise.
And what did the Founders cite as the source of the rights they enshrined for perpetuity within the Constitution? The Creator, Nature's God, and they relied firmly on Divine Providence as they pledged their lives, fortunes and
sacred honor to each other to accomplish the creation of a nation.
So, to my way of thinking, knowing that the 2nd Amendment is not ambiguous at all, and knowing that God Himself guided the thoughts, inspirations and hands as they wrote it, when the NRA or
any politician or lobbyist starts compromising the meaning of those words, they think they're entitled to make compromises with God. Well, screw dat!
We don't need the NRA to tell us how much of the 2nd Amendment, or any other part of
our Constitution, we should be allowed to keep through multiple series of compromises. It says what it says, and it means what it says. If tyrants want to change it by fiat, that is precisely what the 2nd Amendment was designed for! To allow us to repel any tyrant or oligarchy that would come to enslave us! And guess what? That oligarchy is here! A Supreme Court that rewrites laws to make them "constitutional." A Congress that writes unconstitutional laws in the first place, and literally laughs in the face of anyone who inquires, "Is that constitutional?" A President that hires a shadow government empowered by executive fiat alone, separate and apart from any authority granted him in the Constitution. And then foreign political influences that are being allowed to infiltrate our legal system over environmental issues, global warming, and yes, even gun control. When one of those people or bodies becomes tyrannical, we were supposed to have other people or bodies whose equal powers would defeat them politically. But when
all of those people or bodies become tyrannical, we are under the thumb of an entrenched oligarchy, and the NRA making compromises with those oligarchs is nothing less than consorting with the enemy!
YOU are the one dividing and diluting the 2nd Amendment by supporting the oligarchs!
I know you will not accept anything I've said here. It's painfully obvious how thoroughly they have brainwashed you into thinking that God-inspired freedom is something to use as bargaining chips in political tug-of-wars. But know this; UATKP, myself and many like us will not allow
anyone to compromise that which God Himself has given us. To bargain with tyrants is to bargain with Satan, and all your lectures and unjustifiable pontifications won't penetrate our firm reliance on Divine Providence, anymore than it dissuaded this country's Founding Fathers.
