Our Forefathers...What were they trying to protect us from?
To my fellow citizens of the great city of Crescent City:
With all the debates over the "rights" of the people these days, One would be wise to take the time to find the answers to the most important questions being raised and the reasoning behind them. One of our Forefathers, Thomas Jefferson, was notorious for hitting on several of the issues before us today. Here is a list of quotes from speeches/letters which fully address the role, or lack there of, of government in our society. Please, read them carefully...study them fully...and respond appropriately.
1. The right to keep and bear arms has been "di" and "tri-sected" in court after court, and yet they keep coming up with the right answer. The right of the "People" to keep and bear arms was inserted for a very serious reason, to protect our freedom from a government that would attempt to over throw the "will of the people." Thomas Jefferson wrote,"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." A wise philosopher said,"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. (Quoting Cesare Beccaria) Thomas Jefferson sums it up nicely as he states, "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." "2. The issue of health care reform is the hottest topic in the government today, yet we the people are screaming "NO!" Poll after poll shows the majority against the governments involvement in health care, but are they listening? They are ignoring "You the people" and deciding that they must act on your behalf because you don't really know what you want. Thomas Jefferson said, "Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now."
