White House Endorsement of Extensive Gun Control??

“On its face, [the DOJ DC v. Heller brief] would appear to be an attempt by the Federal Government to gut the Second Amendment, and thus retain as much power, and simultaneously limit the rights, and thus power, of individual citizens, as much as it can, which is profoundly disturbing, by itself. But the fact that it's coming from the White House is especially problematic, since it means that Mr. Clement's/DOJ's brief carries a considerable amount of weight.” (David Crane, Defense Review. 1/17/2008) http://www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1088

“The gun control agenda is based on the view that ordinary citizens cannot be trusted to use the physical power of arms responsibly. But a people that cannot be trusted with guns cannot be trusted with the much more dangerous powers of self-government. The gun control agenda is thus an implicit denial of the human capacity for self-government and is tyrannical in principle.” (Alan Keyes for President 2008!!!)

“Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. ... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.”
- Founding Father Thomas Paine

“They that are on their guard and appear ready to receive their adversaries, are in much less danger of being attacked than the supine, secure and egligent.”
- Benjamin Franklin

Excerpt from a Constitution Party Press Release:

“The Constitution Party encourages all Americans to look critically at the example of [the Colorado shootings] tragedy that could have been worse, and note the effort to disarm Americans with more gun laws has not resulted in fewer shootings. ‘On the contrary, schools and other places where people are prevented from carrying self-defense weapons have become easy targets for gunmen. It’s time Americans stop and think about where all these shootings are taking place…certainly not at police stations or places where there would be armed resistance’, said Clymer.”
(Constitution Party)

Watch out people!  When they try to remove your guns then they will own you!  This must be stopped with the right person in the White House this time around!  Stop pretending that this election is all about the economy!!!  This election isn't even about the war anymore!  This election is about our future and our freedom!  This election is about our country and whether we will be one nation under god indivisible!  Don't let this happen! 

You are right. They like to get your attention with the left hand and grab a freedom from you with the right.

     Mr. Clement should explain how an armed citizenry is a problem where in recent history more than a billion people have been exterminated due to not being armed-China, Russia, Cambodia, Africa, etc,

    We are the last nation of armed citizens and should make sure it remains that way.

     O,  I forgot Switzerland where the government advocates everyone being armed and , I think I recall that they haven't been involved in a war in some eight hundred years which would sound like a plus for gun ownership. 

It didnt surprise me when I heard about this a week ago, the white house filed papers supporting the gun ban.  This party needs a serious #$%# enema.  Unfortunately, thats exactly what the globalists want, so Hillary can waltz into the white house and implement the continuation of the Bush/Clinton   new world order. 

Bearclaw, you're on to something, but you stop short of following through just like most everyone else does. Do you really think the Party will allow someone to get nominated that won't continue the Bush/Clinton new world order?

If conservative constitutional American's continue to drink the Party cool-aid, nothing will change. Only radical change, "a serious #$%# enema" as you say, will stop the globalist march.

I suggest reading up on Alan Keyes, not so much to suggest supporting him (although that would be great!), but just learning about the declaration and constitution. Alan Keyes is a true American Statesman and Constitutional Scholar.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." ~Samuel Adams

Where the people, in their very midst, are threatened, they must themselves be prepared to respond. They must be sufficiently armed, disciplined, and exercised to respond to immediate threats with an immediate defense that no organized police force or army is capable of providing. Such professional forces take time to mobilize, and as we learned at Virginia Tech, it doesn't take much time for scores of innocents to be slaughtered.

Like the people in early America, our people must have the ability to respond as the threat emerges, not after it has done enough damage to awaken bureaucracy-bound professionals. Like the professional forces of early America, those of today are too far away to defend against such threats — though the distance they must traverse is measured not in miles but in red tape and CYA dithering.

 I realize that this constitutional concept runs counter to the gun control mania fostered by so many of the demagogues who dominate our politics these days. They focus their rhetoric on the inherent evil of firearms, but their real point is not about weapons, it's about people. Simply put, they believe that people can't be trusted with weapons, so weapons are inherently dangerous to people.

This is not a new point. In fact, it is the mentality that kept the masses in some form of subjection to armed feudal champions everywhere in the world through most of human history. The new form of feudalism dresses in bureaucratic jargon and procedure, but it has the same implication as the forms that  wore fancy feathers and bones in Africa, fierce masks in Japan, or powdered wigs and ermine robes in Europe: some people are made with saddles on their backs, and others booted and spurred to ride them.

America was founded to refute and forever dethrone this invidious principle of power. Yet the politicians of our day are such strangers to our country's purpose that they can't even conceive of the possibility that the present threat to our safety offers an opportunity to revitalize and renew our capacity for self-defense and self-government. Demagogues and self-serving politicos build their power with promises about what they will do for us. Real statesmen would be leading as we rediscover and rebuild our capacity to do what we must for ourselves.

As this is true in the effort to secure our communities in the face or terror, it is also true in the effort to secure our borders and the integrity of our identity as a free people. And as we examine it in that context, I think we will realize that across the board, the desire to help people govern themselves is the key to American statesmanship.
