HOME: The Right to Keep and Bear Arms
NOTE: DO NOT read this if you cannot tolerate courage, intestinal fortitude or guts being referred to as "balls."
Infidelity in the form of
adultery
is not so much an abuse of marriage, but is an abuse of trust; it is a
denial of marriage. In
order for something to be an abuse of marriage it has to happen within the
definition of marriage; for instance, though a man and wife are rather
equally responsible for the healthful care of their children, one parent,
with malice, might intentionally influence their child(ren) to see the other
parent in an unfavorable light.
In that this is done within the bounds- the definition- of marriage, this is
an abuse of marriage (also an abuse of trust).
Adultery,
you see, is an act that denies marriage; it is done OUTSIDE the confines of
marriage.
Can you see the difference?
In this way, for those who are not hard-of-thinking, one can easily see that
using a gun to rob a bank is NOT an abuse of the right to keep and bear
arms, but more an abuse of property rights and potentially the health,
safety and life of others.

COWARDICE IN AMERICA: NO BALLS HERE
A
piece inspired by Jessica McBride who lusts for the power to control the
lives of others, including yours.
But that wouldn’t be nice. But who knows that this very observation hasn't come to me for such time as this.
Sure, McBride strives after the power to control the
lives of others, and that may be proven to your satisfaction if only you can
stand reading her drivel (and think logically).
But referring to her as a coward is what I mean wouldn’t be nice.
Sure it’s good to call a spade a spade but if I refer to her as a
coward, having no balls (courage, intestinal fortitude, guts), some people
might think me sexist and implying that no women have balls.
As more than a few people will tell you that I have been saying, for years,
that it takes a women to be a real man in America you can believe me when I
say that it is most decidedly not true that only men have balls.
No, that term is quite appropriate
for some women as well as some men.
Balls are ball no matter your gender.
There are plenty of men, in fact, who suffer from the problem of
being gutless. These men may
not be said to be without that other bit of male plumbing, but the problem
is that they have no balls.
But, like
matter and energy, balls are not lost in nature, they are preserved and they
find their level- their equilibrium- like water.
Sure, water seeks the lowest level and balls seek a
higher level but they both seek their level.
I know this because I see balls all around me being carried and
displayed in the actions of some women as well as few men; the likes of
Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, (regardless your take on their opinions
political). I also see quite a
few other women, some of whom I know personally, displaying balls; they are
mostly Christian, home-schooling mothers and are absolutely in possession of
balls the like of which many men in America have lost (if they ever really
did possess them).
But I don’t want to get bogged down in a discussion
of semantics regarding the appropriate catch-all adjective for McBride and
the ball-less (de-balled?) (lost-balled?) men among us, so I will now
attempt to refrain from referring to her (and anyone else) during the course
of this article as with no balls.
Which means I can’t use the title I had though would
be really appropriate, so will call this:
Hey McBride, The Exercise of My Right to
Keep and Bear Arms is NOT Abuse; The Expression of Your Opinion- An
Expression of Free Speech- is No More a Right
What seems to animate Jessica McBride* in her desire
to deny you your right to keep and bear arms is a desire to control people;
dear would-be tyrants, please be aware that we’ve been onto you for quite
some time and, really, I think I’m not the only one tiring of your actions
as I write this perfectly peaceful piece prompting peaceful people to
practice perfectly expressing our desire to be not under the control of the
likes of Jessica McBride.
Nope.
We’ve pretty much had it. We
know that we have a right to keep and bear arms (even without government
permission- as in the form of a “permit”) and we’ll thank you to not
attempt to squelch our right as we do not squelch your right to express
yourself as you show us that you are the cowardly, would-be tyrant that you
are.
So, what did McBride write which has me finally
getting off my butt to write this?
Published in the Milwaukee Post on 28 December,
2012, excerpts:
“…no amendment is absolute.
All restrictions on amendments are about a balancing test between the
right granted within them and the need for public safety.”
[A balancing
TEST? Does this woman trust government too much or what?
She needs to study for that test. First of all:
1. Rights are
not ABOUT balance;
RIGHTS ARE BALANCE
2. Government
is hardly balanced, it is most quite unbalanced.]
She continues, “For example we have freedom of
speech, but we can’t libel or cry fire in a crowded theatre.
We have freedom of assembly but
[Sheriff David] Clarke’s deputies
could shut down a protest if the protesters sat down in the middle of the
street and blocked traffic.”
[Note:
She has accurately listed abuses of rights so far, which I will
analogize as swinging my fist such that it strikes your nose, interfering
with a right of your own.
Continuing she lectures us on, (I kid you
not), marriage,]
“We have freedom of religion, but we
wouldn’t allow polygamy even in the name of it.”
[Don’t confuse
the
nerve
empowered by hypocrisy, as in that last sentence of hers, with
balls
(courage, guts, intestinal fortitude) which is knowing and demanding the
right thing.]
Let’s see if we can identify the difference between a right (such as TO FREE SPEECH) and an abuse of a right (as practicing libel is an abuse of the RIGHT to FREE SPEECH).
Please see the
self-explanatory chart below.
|
THE RIGHT* in QUESTION |
An abuse of that right |
How that abuse is curtailed (or attempts at curtailment) |
|
Free Speech
(to Speak Feely; Amt. 1) |
Inciting panic (as by maliciously yelling
“Fire” where none exists. |
Laws including punishing “disorderly conduct” |
|
Free Speech
(to Speak Feely; Amt. 1) |
Libel |
Laws against libel |
|
Free Speech
(to Speak Freely; Amt 1) |
Lying |
Laws against lying to government- or others
whom government sees fit to protect from lies.
(NOTE:
Government is free to lie to you.
Let’s just hope it never starts. /sarc) |
|
Worship (free
exercise of religion; Amt.1) |
Human sacrifice ritual |
Laws against murder
(NOTE:
Explicitly excludes the liberitual of
sacrificing unborn babies in Supreme Court decision Roe V.
Wade)2 |
|
Peaceable Assembly
(Amt. 1) |
Assembling peaceably, it seems (as inferred
from the curtailment listed next) |
Law-enforcement’s dispersal of those
peaceably assembled to highlight or protest actions of government
officials; ALSO herding the peaceably assembled into FREE-SPEECH
ZONES.1 |
|
Free Speech
(to Speak Freely Amt. 1) |
Government to determine and exercise |
See note at 1 |
|
To KEEP and BEAR Arms |
Cannot be abused, it’s just keeping and
carrying arms (other abuses are confused with this right such as
MURDER, which is an abuse of the right to life in another sense.) |
Making the keeping and/or bearing of arms
illegal or subject to a
“Please, may I exercise my right?” permit
system. |
|
To LIFE |
Murder (even if by gunshot)M |
Laws against murder except as re-defined by
government see Note at 2 |
|
Be secure in persons, houses, papers and
effects |
Demanding that you are secure in your person,
house, papers and effects, it seems. |
See Patriot Act and NDAA 20123 |
|
Any right God gave you NOT explicitly
recognized by the Bill of Rights |
Making a government official feel bad because
you claim allegiance to God and not man (him, her, them or it) |
Just wait right there, we’ll come get you.
(Note: Line from
George Orwell’s 1984, a description of the government that is
inevitable when the people either do not have- or do not exercise
their- balls.** |
* Some of these are inferred as rights; not
explicitly designated so in the Bill of Rights.
Certainly the exercise of them is not supposed to be subject to
infringement by Congress.
1 Free
speech zones are typically fenced-in areas into which are corralled people
who wish to protest in the sight of politicians who would rather not see
those protesters so invented free-speech zones.
2 The
United States Supreme Court specifically excluded unborn human beings from
being in possession of the right to life.
**
Commonly referred to as guts in reference to keeping (alive) the Republic
that you were given.
3
Patriot Act and NDAA take precedence over US Constitution and Bill of
Rights as we allow.
M
MURDER is NOT an abuse of the right to keep and bear arms;
murder is an abuse of (denial of) the right to life
Ok, while that was fun…
You
might well get the point that government has laws against lying as an abuse
of the right to speak freely.
Government also has laws against inciting panic- while speaking freely-
commonly referred to in shorthand (shortspeech) as “you have not the right
to yell fire in a crowed movie theatre.”
Government does NOT (yet?) curtail the right to free speech when that speech
is exercised responsibly and certainly does not curtail innocuous speech.
This is to say that government does not curtail speech which is not
demonstrably false or libelous or dangerous (but often curtails the
dangerous and inciting, except when practiced by protected groups, including
government).
If I
put a gun into my pocket in exercise of my right to keep and bear (carry)
arms I am doing the equivalent of exercising my right to free speech by
speaking innocuously; harming no one.
In this federation of nation-states we used to practice a principle
called: YA DON’T GOTTA MAKE A
FEDERAL CASE OUT OF IT- ALSO KNOWN AS- GO AHEAD, IT’S NO SKIN OFF MY NOSE.
(Then we
graduated the 13 millionth lawyer…)
Now
people are offended if they find out LATER that somebody had a gun in their
pocket while in the same room or same county as they; or somebody smokes a
cigarette two blocks down and they smell it.
What a bunch of namby-pamby, wuss-babies.
(My apologies to babies who only cry for a good reason and stop
crying when the reason for which they cried is ameliorated.)
|
Right exercised |
How |
|
Speak Freely |
Good morning, ma’am, let me open that door for you.
(Why would there be a law against that?) |
|
Keep and CARRY arms |
With a gun in my pocket, (the presence of which is unknown to
anybody but me), I might greet a woman and open a door for her.
(Why would there be a law against that?) |
|
Be secure in my person |
Walk down the street with a gun in my pocket.
(Why would there be a law against that?) |
You
can see, if you have any gray matter AT ALL and some, (I guess
old-fashioned), decency, that one may as easily speak kindly to a lady or
man or child with a gun in his pocket as without and it happens more than
you know. One may just as
graciously open doors for others with a gun or knife or fork or spoon or,
Monty, a hard-boiled egg, in his pocket as without.
(See that woman next to you?
Does she have a gun in her purse?
How about that man, does he have a gun in his pur…um pocket? You
don’t know, do you?
If you’re a liberal go ahead and wet your pants just in case.)
So why
is one required to obtain government permission to exercise the right to
keep and carry arms (a gun) in the form of a
MAY I PRETTY PLEASE EXERCISE MY
RIGHT permit? Do
you not know that if you have the right to something that it is God-given?
Do you not know that if you do not recognize that rights (being
inalienable) come from God that you can make no logical argument more valid
than government can make against your argument including the vapid one
employed by McBride, “Balancing rights with public safety?”
I’m not saying that she’s not vacuous, but her argument surely is.
Dig it, in matters of right
and
or wrong the Creator trumps whether others know it or not.
Are your ready
to submit to government your ability to exercise your other rights:
paying a fee; submitting to a background check, the nature and extent of
which government will determine; renewing your right periodically?
Will you bow to the extant Governor, the Legislature and the
Bureaucracy for what God gave you?
If it’s a right you sure do NOT have to ask government REPEATEDLY to
exercise it or ask to exercise it at all if government is staying confined
within the Constitution. How
absurd is it that anybody, including Governor Walker, claim that they are
protecting your right to keep and bear arms with a permit system that
expires periodically and is subject to renewal?
Government-granted privileges may (will surely) expire and will be
subject to good behavior, that is behavior that government determines is
good, but your rights NEVER EXPIRE and are for the purpose of- and may
properly be exercise only as- good behavior.
Let’s see one more chart:
|
Right you wish to Exercise |

Did
you not know that the reason the founders of this nation included the second
amendment recognition of (y)our God-given right to keep and bear arms is
because they knew that governments tend to devolve into tyranny and they
wanted YOU and ME (THE PEOPLE) to be able to resist government tyranny.
(NOTE: The second
amendment has a stand-alone clause that can be logically inferred as a
sentence unto itself to clarify it:
THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.)
See that? The word
“SHALL,” as it precedes “NOT,” tells us that government WILL (IS MORALLY
BOUND TO) DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
Tell your congressmen to speak to a grammarian and/or instructor of
logic for confirmation. Don’t
bother writing the President, he’s not in disagreement with Jessica McBride
and Mark Belling on this matter; he would LOVE for his- and for
government’s- sake to see restrictions on your right to keep and bear arms.
Keep in mind that, at the very
least, denying that “the people” means you and me in the second amendment
establishes a logic template that denies you and me any right that is said
to belong to “the people.”
The
Second Amendment is the canary in the coal mine for our rights.
When government fears you4 and/or your guns and starts
making onerous requirements (that would be ANY requirement) for decent and
peaceful people (adults, anyway) to keep and bear arms then you know that
government is no longer servant as it is supposed to be, but has become
would-be master. When they come
to your door for your guns, it’s a.) prima facie evidence of tyranny and b.)
too late.
And
the likes of Jessica McBride (and Mark Belling), in advancing arguments that
equate the exercising of a right with the abuse of a right, play into the
hands of corrupt government.
They may be stupid, they may be corrupt, they may be agents of government, I
don’t know (and do not accuse them) but they ARE WRONG.
And
NEVER FORGET you go from liberty to tyranny one
step at a time; it is a continuum that is recognizable to people with
balls who can also think logically.
We’re on that continuum and, while we’ve not reached tyranny, we are
no longer even in the neighborhood of freedom.
Which
way do you think we’ll go from here?
WARNING! People without balls
will be equally as responsible for determining where we go next as people
with balls.

When governments fear the people there is liberty.
When the people fear the government there is tyranny- Thomas
Jefferson.
Please
see chart below for the relationship of unrestrained government versus
liberty. This is why the
founders established the Constitution, to restrain government, not to
restrain the people. We are not
government haters we just don’t like abusive government.
We long for Constitutional (proper, legal, decent, moral) government)
Let us combine the continuum with the chart for a better illustration of
where we find ourselves…
