Notice To All Politicians:
It is time to speak plainly for the good citizens and patriots of this
nation who believe unendingly in the Constitution of the United States of
America.
Though foreign governments may disarm their subjects, we will not go down
that road.
We will not disarm and see our freedoms stripped away. The lessons of
history are numerous, clear, and bloody. A disarmed population inevitably
becomes an enslaved population. A disarmed population is without power,
reduced to childlike obedience to-and dependence upon - the organs of a
parental state. A disarmed population will lose-either piecemeal or in one
sweeping act - those basic rights for which the citizens of America risked
their lives and fortunes over 200 years ago.
We Will Not Disarm. The right to self-protection-the internal directive of
every living creature, be it mouse or man - is the most fundamental right
of all. It is a right that must be exercised against the predators of the
streets, against the predators hidden within agencies of law enforcement,
and against the most dangerous predators of all - those to be found in
government, whose insidious grasping for power is relentless and
never-ending.
We Will Not Disarm. Not in the face of robbers, rapists and murderers who
prey upon our families and friends. Nor in the face of police and bureau
agents who would turn a blind eye to the Constitution, who would betray the
birthright of their countrymen; nor in the face of politicians of the
lowest order-those who pander to the ignorant, the weak, the fearful, the
naive; those indebted to a virulent strain of the rich who insulate
themselves from the dangers imposed upon other Americans and then preach
disarmament.
We will not surrender our handguns. We will not surrender our hunting
arms. And we will not surrender our firearms of military pattern or
military utility, nor their proper furnishings, nor the right to buy, to
sell, or to manufacture such items. Firearms of military utility, which
serve well and nobly in times of social disturbance as tools of defense for
the law-abiding, serve also in the quiet role of prevention, against both
the criminal and the tyrannical. An armed citizenry - the well-regulated
militia of the Second Amendment, properly armed with military firearms - is
a powerful deterrent, on both conscious and subconscious levels, to those
inclined toward governmental usurpation's. An armed citizenry stands as a
constant reminder to those in power that, though they may violate our
rights temporarily, they will not do so endlessly and without consequence.
And should Americans again be confronted with the necessity of - may God
forbid it - throwing off the chains of a tyrannical and suffocating regime,
firearms designed to answer the particular demands of warfare will provide
the swiftest and most decisive means to this end.
Any law which prohibits or limits a citizen's possession of firearms of
military utility or their proper furnishings, provides an open window
through which a corrupt government will crawl to steal away the remainder
of our firearms and our liberties.
Any law which prohibits or limits a citizen's possession of firearms of
military utility or their proper furnishings, being directly contrary to
the letter and spirit of the Second Amendment, is inimical to the
Constitution, to the United States of America, and to its citizens.
Now-today-we are witnessing the perilous times foreseen by the architects
of the Constitution. These are times when our government is demanding - in
the guise of measures for the common good - the relinquishment of several
rights guaranteed to Americans in the Constitution, foremost among which is
the right to keep and bear arms for our own defense. These are times when
our government has abdicated its primary responsibility-to provide for the
security of its citizens. Swift and sure punishment of outlaws is absent,
and in its place is offered the false remedy of disarming the law-abiding.
Where this unconstitutional action has been given the force of law, it has
failed to provide relief and has produced greater social discord. This
discord in turn now serves as the false basis for the demand that we give
up other rights, and for the demand for more police, more agents of
bureaucratic control to enforce the revocation of these rights.
Legislators, justices and law officers must bear in mind that the
foundation of their duties is to uphold the fundamental law of the land-the
Constitution. They must bear in mind that the unconstitutional act of
disarming one's fellow citizens will also disarm one's parents, spouse,
brothers, sisters, children and children's children. They must bear in
mind that there are good citizens who - taking heed of George Washington's
belief that arms are the liberty teeth of the people-will not passive
