Was John Ross Right?
If you are old enough to remember you will recall these words from a famous daytime soap opera “as with the sands through the hour glass so goes the days of our lives.” The days of our lives, since the inauguration of the new United States President, there are at count 10 new restrictive firearms bills being introduced in the U.S House of Representatives, mainly HR 45. Being an observer of the events around me, I once again ask myself why is this? Didn’t the U.S. Supreme Court rule in favor of the individual’s right, as stated in the Bill of Rights, to own firearms recently?
I did not vote for the current administration, but I followed the campaign rhetoric closely. I will not belabor the point of immediate broken promises, out of control debt obligations for generations and ignored assurances of their intent to not limit, control or ultimately undermine the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution. The administration’s rapid actions speak for themselves. The administration is quick to point out that they won the election; they did win, by a 53-percentile margin. Ok, so what about the rest of us?
What is it that a free people should do, we have petitioned our government with our grievances. We have supported our just causes and yet they fail to act or even it would seem to hear our collective voice. Their assertion is all they must do to effect their change is to never give up, to drown the populace in more legislative control, more social governance and without our knowledge or consent render us enslaved. They are doing this through taxation at every level, obligating us to overwhelming national debt and in acting legislation against our will to strip us of our inalienable rights.
