By far and away, the right to free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of your own religion, freedom of assembly, and freedom of petition are the most powerful rights we have and they are spelled out in the first amendment. The second amendment provides two ways to protect the rights of the first amendment - the ability of individual states to have an armed force to defend themselves and the right of individuals to have the ability to protect themselves. If you don't have the first two, you cannot stop the infringements against you or enforce your rights spelled out in the last eight.

The Bill of Rights does not give you these rights. They are yours and yours form the beginning - given by the Creator. The Bill of Rights mandates that a central government cannot infringe, step on, remove, alter, steal, take away, destroy, etc., etc., these rights from individuals or individual states. We can only lose our rights if we are willing give them up or they are taken by force. The second amendment is your tool to stop them from being taken by force. There is nothing to prevent your rights from being stolen if you willing allow it to happen. Yesterday, was just round one in the Congress. Don't get comfortable and careless. The other side is just regrouping for another charge.

You gonna fight or surrender?
