Our Second Amendment Is The Last Line Of Defense Against Islamic Terrorism
by Geoffrey Grider​

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting or skeet shooting, it is the right to be able to defend ourselves from all enemies foreign and domestic.


"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
." Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791.

The horror of the Islamic terror attacks in Paris last month barely had time to process itself in our collective brain when the Muslims struck again, this time in San Bernardino, California, which killed and gravely wounded over 40 souls. In less than 24 hours, Obama began doing damage control for the Muslims by reducing the incident to "workplace violence" instead of calling it by it's proper name of Islamic jihad on American soil. That should be the only red flag you will ever need if you were wondering if Obama was willing and able to keep us safe within our own borders.

During his 28 years on the police force in Los Angeles,
James Craig tended to agree with his state’s tight control over concealed carry permits, believing fewer guns would lead to fewer violent crimes. But when he moved to Portland, Maine, in 2009 to serve as the city’s new police chief, he discovered a different culture – one where guns actually made people safer.

Now Craig, the chief of police in Detroit, Mich., has a message for the law-abiding folks in his crime-ridden city: Arm yourselves, and criminals will think twice about attacking you.

At a press conference at police headquarters Thursday, the Detroit News reports, Craig praised the deterrent power of a legally armed citizenry. “When we look at the good community members who have concealed weapons permits,” he said, “the likelihood they’ll shoot is based on a lack of confidence in this Police Department.”
THE EXECUTIVE: Obama's Real Reason He Wants Your Guns

The classic Liberal lie,
when talking about our Right To Bear Arms, is that they will say, "don't worry, no one is trying to take away your right to go hunting". They choose that language very carefully and intentionally because they are trying to reduce the Second Amendment to say it applies to hunting and target practice. It doesn't. The Second Amendment exists because our Founding Fathers knew very clearly that the day might come when Americans would need to defend themselves from internal enemies like a government that was turning into a dictatorship. As Adolf Hitler rose to power in Nazi Germany, he took away guns from the common people. So did Stalin and every other dictator that rose to control their nation. Unarmed people cannot defend and protect themselves. Thomas Jefferson said this about what to do if America ever moved away from the Constitution:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Jefferson and the others knew that the people could not carry that out if they were unarmed.
In the case of American life in 2015 under Obama, we have a president who absolutely refuses to utter the words "Islamic terrorism", and attempts to whitewash jihadi terror attacks with the label of "workplace violence".

In 2013, the CDC says that 10,076 people were killed at the hands of a drunk driver, yet Obama issues no calls of any kind to stop or reduce the sale and consumption of alcohol. That is 27+ people per day every day slaughtered by alcohol, and his administration does nothing. In the same period, 1,490 people were stabbed to death with a knife, but Obama issues no calls of any kind to stop or reduce the sale of knives to anyone. Harvard University says that each year 840,00 people are hospitalized from adverse reactions to prescription drugs from their doctors, and that 128,000 of those same people will die from legally prescribed medication. That is over 350 people who die every day from something that is legally given to them by someone they trust.

Do you ever hear Obama passing any kind of Executive Order to protect those people from being killed? No, you do not. And there is a reason for that.


Alcohol, knives and prescription drugs, while deadly, are not what you could ever use to defend yourself
from anyone who came at you with weapons of war like guns and bombs. Self defense means gun ownership, the Founding Fathers knew that, and they included the Second Amendment to give us that ability. That was their gift to us to ensure that the God-given freedoms given to us are never taken from us. When we lose the ability to purchase and own guns, when we lose the Second Amendment, we will no longer be a free people in a free society. This is why Obama and the Liberals could care less about drunk drivers and Big Pharma that kill 10 times more people every day that guns ever will.
A message and warning from our greatest president Ronald Reagan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRCVOWoshAg
America, when you allow our leaders to take away our Second Amendment, you will no longer be able to defend yourself from anyone or any government as our Founding Fathers intended. ISIS has arrived at our doorstep, via invitation from the Obama administration, and the attacks have already begun. Obama has not and will not call it for what it is, Islamic terrorism, and therefore he will do nothing to protect us from future attacks.
The fight is here, the war has begun, and the future of America hangs in the balance. Freedom isn't free, it often comes at a great price.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan

They call the WWII soldiers the "greatest generation", and in 2016 we need to be every bit as vigilant, every bit as willing to fight, and every bit as great as they were. The Second Amendment is our last line of defense in this war that has been thrust upon us. Islamic terrorists are slaughtering Americans at will, unchecked by a radical, unAmerican government that refuses to acknowledge their very existence.

How will you answer the call the defend America?
 
The second amendment is not the right to keep and bear arms.

The second amendment is a ban on federal gun laws.

States can still make gun laws.

There is no such thing as a "second amendment right" since the second amendment doesn't grant anyone any kind of right at all.
 
The second amendment is not the right to keep and bear arms.

The second amendment is a ban on federal gun laws.

No, the 2A is a ban on infringements by .fedgov on the right to keep and bear arms. The .fedgov could make any law it wanted supporting that right and it would still be a "gun law," but they can't make laws infringing and/or restricting that right without being law-breakers themselves. What does that tell you about the legitimacy of our current government?

States can still make gun laws.

So states aren't bound to operate within the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment? I mean in a world where government actually abides by the limitations of law that are consented to by The People. That too, should tell you something about the legitimacy of this current government.

There is no such thing as a "second amendment right" since the second amendment doesn't grant anyone any kind of right at all.

It doesn't have to "grant" the right for government to be bound to respect and uphold the right. The 2A acknowledges a preexisting right, so you're technically correct in saying it doesn't grant it, but you are wholly incorrect in saying that "there's no such thing" as the rights articulated within the amendment.

As to the OP, I disagree with a lot of it, starting with the Title. The Second Amendment is the first line of defense of a free population against anyone who would visit unjustified violence upon them. The old axiom of, "An armed society is a polite society" illustrates that thought. If the 2A were given by the whole society the high place of honor, respect and most importantly, force of law that the Founders intended, guns in public would be as common as cars, only with fewer restrictions put upon them. There's controversy over whether or not Yamamoto actually said it, but whether he did or didn't, the premise used to be more or less true that, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." If we believe that GFZs contradict that premise, which I definitely do, then we must likewise believe that if it were still true, just the thought of being met with government-sanctioned violence by the armed citizenry for every act of terror contemplated by the barbarian hordes would reduce the number and frequency of their attacks, which I also definitely believe is true. As such, against terrorism or any other non-governmental-originated violence against The People, the 2A would, should and to some minor extent still is, the first line of defense.

What the 2A was intended to be the last line of defense against was government gone run-amok. We've been there for over 100 years now, so we know without a doubt that our last line of defense against tyranny was given away by us because we trusted that the 2A would actually be all that was needed to hold government in its place sans any action by us to reinforce what those words are wholly inadequate to bind government down with.

And lastly, that bit about Reagan is quite the revisionist history. Even with all the shenanigans in both the House and Senate over the Hughes Amendment, Reagan signed that requiem for American liberty into law less than five years after making that stirring speech in support of the 2A. Blame it on encroaching Alzheimer's or just that Reagan was no different than any other politician; power-drunk and black-hearted, but he was no friend to the 2A after signing a virtual ban on the types of weapons that a population actually needs to fulfill the last defense of freedom against a run-amok government, which Reagan himself helped to solidify by signing it.

Waiting to hear Obummers speech tonight. I've heard it's more on a executive order to ban guns from Americans. (so his ISIS buddies can move in with no danger)

Could be! Also it will be a lecture on what a rotten country we are and how it's all our fault because of all the "climate change" deniers, Bible zealots, the NRA and "white" privilege!
 
Well it was same old crap and only doubled down on everything he has said before. I do believe he was lead kicking and screaming to saying it was a "terrorist" act in CA!
 
A lot more people are seeing that obummer and his minions do not have what it takes to keep our country safe. This has become more and more obvious with the fact that more people are buying guns, taking gun classes, self defense classes and applying for their CCL's. Sheriffs, police chiefs and other officials are urging people to arm up AND carry! The MSM, lib-o-rats and a lot of the GOP have denounced Trump for calling a temporary halt to the Muslims coming into this country. This stance makes sense to those of us believe obummer and his minions want to destroy our country!

This latest attack by RADICAL mooslums could be the December 7, 1941 for America. Later this week I am taking a man and wife, friends, shooting. They both want to get a handgun and their CCL's! I also know of several others who are planning on getting their CCL's and either carrying or buying one to carry.

Sadly, as long as we have "no gun zones" and "soft" targets more people will die at the hand of these scum!

Worth Repeating

Trump remarks expose lack of common sense
- Bill Wilson -​

All the candidates for president in both parties, plus the "president," have expressed dismay and disgust over presidential hopeful Donald Trump's assertion that Muslims should be banned entry to the United States, as he said, "Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life." This is not hate speech. Nor is it religious discrimination. It is common sense. Illegal immigration has raised crime in this nation. Islamic immigration has increased terrorist attacks in the United States. These are facts. Ideology means something.

In the 1950s, America was under the threat of communism. Communists were infiltrating all aspects of our society in a KGB-led brainwashing strategy referred to as ideological subversion. In an interview with Edward Griffin of the John Birch Society in 1984, former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, who defected from the Soviet Union in 1970, said the Soviet Union already had infiltrated left-leaning people in the news media, the entertainment industry, politics, business, education and religion with this brainwashing strategy. Its goal was to change the perception of reality of every American so "no one is able to come to sensible conclusions" to defend themselves, their families, their community, or their country.

Here we are more than a half a century later and we still have a fascist/Marxist threat to America--this time it is in the form of Islam rather than the Soviet Union--but do not be deceived, former "Soviets" are very likely involved. The big difference with this threat is that the ideological subversion strategy has taken root and has grown. We have become a people whose media, politicians, entertainment, education, religion and so on, not only cannot make a decision to defend themselves, they believe it is the right thing to submit to fascism rather than call it out. Trump is calling it out. In his crude and seemingly uninformed way, he is saying that we cannot allow entry to America an ideology that seeks to destroy us.

The Koran, as backed by the very history of Islam, makes the intent of Islam clear. Islamic religion facilitates fascist ends. For YHVH God and allah to be the same, this "god" would be schizophrenic and contradictory. One is of love and salvation; the other is of fear and destruction. Yes, there are many deceived Muslims who neither understand nor abide by the death commandments of the Koran--Christians need to reach out to them with the light of Christ. But Islam as a whole is death to America and its citizens. This religion requires submission to its form of government. That means overthrowing free societies. It means if we want to live freely, Islam cannot be allowed. We need to come to sensible conclusions. As Ephesians 5:15 admonishes: "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise."
 
Trump's idea is very good. We should not only stop all Muslims from coming into this country we should also seal the borders and stop all illegals from coming in to! That would give LE, Fed, State and Local LEO's a chance to find and check out those who are here!

I know that sounds extreme but what we are doing now is insane. If you have a flood of water coming into your basement you must stop the water coming in FIRST and then manage the water you have to deal with.

Our "wonderful and caring" elected and appointed morons, seem to believe that you only need a larger bucket to bail but instead they only want to use a teacup on the flood!
 
My take on Trump and his call for banning musloids is this: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. He is still a leftist in Republican hawk's clothing, and that is the deception I fear people will fall for much more than the details of how he claims he'd handle any one policy issue.

Plus, win, lose or draw, Trump, nor any other prospective President, is not going to matter a wit to what's really going on here. Instead of looking East towards Washington D. C., I continue looking up.

AMEN Blues! When asked, 'what will be the sign of Thy coming', Jesus' reply began with the words, "Take heed that no man deceive you."(Matthew 24:4) One of the hallmark signs of THESE LAST DAYS before the return of Christ is that of deception on a global scale. The Bible says that the Antichrist's entire platform is built on deception. The Apostle Paul, in his 2nd letter to Timothy, speaking specifically of the last days, warned, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." (2nd Timothy 3:13) In this Last Generation, deception has taken on a new dimension. A lie isn't a lie, it is 'SPIN'. Truth is relative -- one man's 'truth' is another man's lie -- it all depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is, and so forth. The Bible says that one day, someone will seize control of the SPIN MACHINE and make it his own. It says that he will deceive a willing public only too happy to hear what they want to hear, even if it is obvious deception, because they WANT to believe it.

The Apostle Paul, writing of the events leading up to the revelation of the Antichrist, told the church at Thessolonica; "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12) This generation has been conditioned for the past fifty years to accept lies as truth, and to disparage truth as lies, if it tickles their ears and suits their bias. "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And THEN shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming." The only thing standing in 'that Wicked's' way is the Church. For now. MARANATHA! :victory: Keep "looking up" brother.

Thanks Brother. Before I was saved I would've thought it "sad" that so many people couldn't recognize truth. Though I take no pleasure now in seeing the growing multitudes of blinded-by-lies humans, it does give me a kind of calm and/or comfort knowing what those growing multitudes foreshadow. We are surrounded by deluded and deceived people on subjects ranging from earthly to Heavenly-based universal truths. It's hard to imagine that anyone would question whether or not the public is massively deceived about politics, and if people were actually capable of recognizing truth, they'd see it whether they come from a right or left perspective, but on both sides of that phony line people still think they matter to how things will develop politically going forward. The only way they will, or even can matter, is if they look up instead of looking to D.C., but still they won't matter to the political environment, only to the Ultimate Authority Who will judge them either thumbs up, or thumbs down. I pray for them and hope they will see the truth in the verses you posted above before it's too late, but then, those same verses tell us that most of them won't. And round we go back to not being sad for them anymore, but simply and calmly understanding why they are as they are.

I may be among a small minority here when I say this, but I always appreciate when you (or anyone else for that matter) post verses that validate from a scriptural perspective what I'm thinking/feeling. Thanks again Brother.
