The following is the hypothetical argument I used on my wife about
the need for our Second
Amendment rights. My wife is among the tens of millions of people
in this country that fail to understand the wisdom and reason for our
right to bear arms.
50 years from now after our economy collapses under the burden of
our National
Debt and martial law is declared to subdue coast to coast rioting
due to the financial collapse of all of our institutions. What kind
of gun do you want our son to have to defend his family and property
from an unruly desperate population and the military trying to subdue
them, as well as the interim government that comes to pass under such
conditions?
The above was the fifth scenario I described to my wife to illustrate
the wisdom of our second
amendment. At the end of each scenario I asked, what kind of gun
would you like our son to have to defend his family and property? The
first four she replied that such a scenario would never happen, on
the fifth she replied the best arsenal available. This scenario was
the one where the lights turned on and she understood my point, as
she was aware of the research I have been doing on the possible volatility
of our current economic policies.
Our 224 years of freedom and prosperity has insulated our population
from everyday realities and calamities other countries experience around
the world. We take our prosperity and security for granted and assume
it will always be the way it is today; however, nothing remains the
same. Our collective apathy and complacency alone is a recipe for our
own undoing.
History has proven that the democracies of the world last about 200
years at which time they become bloated with bureaucracy due to the
nature of the electoral process (pandering for votes). It is then that
democracies implode.
Our founding fathers flush with knowledge of an overbearing governing
body saw fit to legislate safeguards to avoid such governing from ever
happening in America again (The
Constitution and the Bill
of Rights). Lets not let our apathy, complacency and fear of a
few idiots with guns and drugs override our founding fathers forward
thinking safeguards.
What do you think our government
would look like today had England outlawed guns 300 years sooner than
it did?
