Re: You Can't Have My Guns!
If the children of light sit idly by while the rights that their forefathers shed blood for are swept aside, then they or their children will most certainly see persecution.
From the Declaration of Independence: "...to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
You may say that Jesus taught the early Christians not to struggle against the government, but how does struggling against Rome compare to altering a government, which at its very Foundation was designed to allow the people to change it if it began to grow tyrannical? The Federal Government is not Rome; We the People are Rome. Render to Caesar what is Caesar's? The Federal Government is not Caesar; we are Caesar. This nation, which has sent out millions of missionaries around the world, and is a beacon of light to the rest of the world - despite its faults - is under attack from within. Our foundational principles are being attacked. This People has an obligation and a Right to stand up to any form of tyranny within our borders and to effect change. Altering or abolishing the government does not require violence at this point, but if nobody will stand up for our right to keep and bear arms, history warns us that this is the beginning of a rapid erosion of our liberties, and eventually there will be violence.
Sit and wag your heads if you must, but rest assured that there are some children of light who will do their best to preserve the freedoms that allow this country to evangelize the planet - freedoms bought and paid for with Guns.
