What you're missing Peace is the fundamental principle of individual liberty. We live in a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The majority does not rule. The majority is required to honor first the rights of the individual.
Why? Slavery. Not whites owning black men in 19th century America. That was the shortest and most insignificant span of slavery in human history. Look at the Jews in ancient Egypt, 400 years int that condition. We can go on and on throughout history until today across the modern world.
This has been the condition of man since Cain slew Able. The strong prey on the week. If you think we are immune here you are mistaken. Rome had a republic for twice as long as we have and yet Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
Do you know what that meant, crossing the Rubicon?
The Rubicon was a river that had to be crossed to enter Rome. Rome had no army. Army's were created and financed by individuals. To maintain the Republic no man was allowed to bring his army across the Rubicon into Rome. No man did for 500 years, until Caesar.
And when he did there was nothing to stop him.
And why was that? Because the people were not armed? Of course not. The Roman armies could not be defeated by civilians no matter what arms they had.
There was no one to stop them because the people left the defense of their liberties to others. They had no heart. The soldiers were paid and went because they were paid.
Our republic stands because we volunteer. We sacrifice our lives and time to defend our own. We grow up visiting the graves of those who went before. And we remember. We always remember.
We own guns not to battle armies and exercise rights. We own guns because it is our responsibility to own them. The responsibility we owe first to the those who lie in the graves we visit.
What does slavery have to do with it? What separates a slave from a free man is the right to own firearms.
We have a responsibility not to be slaves, not to lose the liberty paid for by the blood of our fathers. We own guns not to forget.
