The Right to Bare Arms...

I will soon explain how this is relevant to Recession Economics.

Obama has done something very good for me. His presence in the White House made me realize that I must do everything I can to assert my 2nd amendment right. The threat that he and his party represent has really motivated me to take some drastic initiatives that I have been putting off of a long time.

The first step was to legally purchase guns and ammunition before any legislature is enacted by the Democrats to infringe on the 2nd amendment. Upon purchasing guns and ammunition I realized that I now needed a place to store and shoot these weapons. In the last few months this has moved me to buy a considerable piece of property and begin construction. This is the point at which I am thankful that we are in a recession. The property is costing me half of what it would have two years ago. It is also relevant that gun and ammunition sales have been booming since Obama took office as people try to head off an future restrictions. This is probably the reason why they have not attempted to enact gun control legislation. They are afraid of cutting off their only good leg.

Sure enough, we can expect that before the next election they will make an attempt to pass gun control legislation. If for no other reason then to spite the other side. A republican Filibuster is our only hope. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she only wants to have guns registered. We know from experience in Britain and Australia that this is the first step to confiscation. The governments there first took an accounting of who had guns and later moved to confiscate them. The right to bare arms is no different then the right to free speech. Once you start picking away at the Bill of Rights there is no end. The Bill of Rights does not set apart the 2nd amendment from the other amendments in any way and give it a lesser value. All those rights are the peoples rights.

We can see evidence of this in Britain which is further along down this path... and it is the same path. First they banned handgun ownership... Then they banned long-gun ownership... Then they banned swords... Then they try to ban pointed kitchen knives... Now they plan on banning the PINT. Yes, the drinking glass because apparently people have been using this to assault one another. The point is obvious, if people want to hurt each other they will use stick and stones if they have to. Will democrats ban sticks and stones too?

Someone anonymously said:
"I think the root cause of the problem here is hands. Anything that can be held in one's hand can be a weapon.
Outlaw hands. Problem solved."

I guess the Democrats have their work cut out for them.
