"Rethinking the Second Amendment" by Dr. Naomi Wolf

"They hold their determination that their goal must be the promotion of world revolution and a one-world Socialist or Communist state, whichever word you want to use [now Globalist and Fascist--ed.]. They have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is what will further their cause, meaning they reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat, in order to attain that and that is moral, not immoral, and we operate on a different set of standards."--Actual President Ronald Reagan

"After the first explosion, Daddy just went outside and sat on the porch with his gun on his lap. He sat there all night looking for white night riders. Eventually Daddy and the men of the neighborhood formed a watch. They would take shifts at the head of the entrances to our streets. Occasionally they would fire a gun into the air to scare off intruders, but they never actually shot anyone. Because of this experience, I'm a fierce defender of the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms. Had my father and his neighbors registered their weapons, Bull Connor surely would have confiscated them or worse. The Constitution speaks of the right to a well-regulated militia. The inspiration for this was the Founding Fathers' fear of the government. They insisted that citizens have the right, if necessary, to resist the authorities themselves. What better example of responsible gun ownership is there than what the men of my neighborhood did in response to the KKK and Bull Connor? I also don’t think we get to pick and choose in the Constitution. The Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment. My father and his friends defended our community in 1962 and 1963 against white nightriders sitting there armed. And so I’m very concerned about any abridgement of the Second Amendment. I am a Second Amendment absolutist."--Actual Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice

"A man's rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box."--Frederick Douglass

Can We Indeed Have Peace and Freedom Without Guns?



"When the good old ship of Zion comes along, to be ready to step

aboard.”
--Harriet Tubman, the last time Democrats lost their slaves

"The last thing keeping us free in America, as the lights go off all over Europe- and Australia, and Canada - is, yes, we must face this fact, the Second Amendment.

I can’t believe I am writing those words. But here we are and I stand by them.

I am a child of the peace movement. A daughter of the Left, of a dashingly-bearded proto-Beatnik poet, my late dad, and of a Summer of Love activist/cultural anthropologist, my lovely mom. We are a lineage of anti-war, longhaired folks who believe in talking things out.

By the time I was growing up in California in the 1960s and 1970s, weapons were supposed to have become passe. When I played at friends’ houses in our neighborhood in San Francisco, there were posters on the walls: “War is Not Healthy for Children and Other Living Things.” Protesters had iconically placed daisies in the rifle barrels of unhip-looking National Guardsmen.

We were obviously supposed to side with the daisies. ...

I was told more times than I could count that the Second Amendment was never meant to apply to individuals’ ownership of guns; and I believed that.

Indeed, I heard these truisms so often, that when I actually sat down and read the Second Amendment carefully — as I was writing my 2008 book about the decline of democracies, The End of America — I was startled: because the Second Amendment wasn’t unclear at all.

“A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Or, translated into modern English construction: “Because a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free State, therefore the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

I have evolved my view about firearms, and I understand that doing so is in fact in alignment with the Constitution. And the thing about really supporting the Constitution is that you do not get to pick and choose. I can’t choose my favorite Amendment, the easy one, the First Amendment, and then shy away from the glass-clear directive of the Second Amendment, simply as a result of my own cultural discomfort. You have to stand up for it all, if you are to call yourself a supporter of the Constitution.

Indeed I have recently become a firearm owner myself.

I thought not only of rape survivors. I thought too when I saw the rifle on my desk, of writers, of journalists, of critics of the State, of dissidents. I thought of reporters hauled off to prison around the world by the minions of tyrants. I though of our own recently created Ministry of Truth, and of the armed men who might make note of what was emerging from the computers of American writers.

What would happen to tyrants….what would happen to threats of violence and arrests for free speech — if writers too were defensively trained and armed? What if words themselves had a defense against violent tyranny, one that was always mounted?

The writers of our nation’s birth — they were armed. The writers who forged our country’s founding documents were armed because they were writers, and because they knew perfectly well that in Britain, King George III simply hanged defenseless writers for sedition.

I am also re-examining my reflexes about the Second Amendment because I believe that we are at a moment that our Founders, in their nearly-Prophetic wisdom, knew might come to pass. We are at the kind of moment for which the Second Amendment may have been written in just the clear, unequivocal way that it was.

You know that I see tyranny descending all around the formerly free nations of the world. I say these days that the coup in America has already taken place — a stealthy, sneaky coup, mounted without a shot being fired.

I hate gun violence. I hate the slaughter of innocents. I am a peaceful person.

But it is becoming obvious even to us pacifists, vegans, and tree huggers, that formerly free people who are unarmed are defenseless against the criminal tyrannies exerting massive violence and control upon them.

And it is becoming obvious that similar tyrannical moves against the people of the United States have been thwarted in advance or deterred - and only state by state — pretty much only because the people of the United States have the right to own and carry weapons, and because many do so.

The Second Amendment, along with our sovereignty, alone protects us from them.

This is hard to accept. But risks of criminal gun violence, while always tragic, are risks that sadly can’t be done away with altogether, if we are to secure a more fundamental safety for more people and more lives; the right as a nation of 330 million people, to deter massive planned violence, criminal detentions, “lockdowns”, theft of assets, and violent crimes at the state, and now at meta-state, levels, against our lives and freedoms and yes, against our children.

Without the brilliantly-conceived and clearly-worded Second Amendment, without the deterrent to state and transnational violence of responsible, lawful, careful and defensive firearms ownership in the United States of America, it is clear that nothing at all will save our citizens from the current fates of the people of China, Australia and Canada.".......
"I say that the Second Amendment is, in order of importance, the first amendment. It is America’s First Freedom, the one right that protects all the others. Among freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly, of redress of grievances, it is the first among equals. It alone offers the absolute capacity to live without fear. The right to keep and bear arms is the one right that allows ‘rights’ to exist at all. Now, either you believe that, or you don’t, and you must decide. Because there is no such thing as a free nation where police and military are allowed the force of arms but individual citizens are not.  This is their first freedom. If you say it’s outdated, then you haven’t read your own headlines. I want to rescue the Second Amendment from an opportunistic president and from a press that apparently can’t comprehend that attacks on the Second Amendment set the stage for assaults on the First."--“Why We Have Guns by Charlton Heston, National Press Club, September 11, 1997

The Framers wrote the Second Amendment precisely for this Obama/Biden Occupation Government. 

They smelled the Totalitarian Stench of these fascist gangsters coming from two and a half-centuries away. "One if by land; Two if by C-SPAN!"

Dr. Wolf has fully grasped this truth after being red-pilled by Tyranny of the Virus/Vaxx Bio-Weapon Attack on America from the American Deep State and their Chinese partners.

While not perfect in every last point, this essay is as good of an exposition of a thinking liberal's journey into the Framer's Land of the Living as you'll find.

Read it all. ..................

Mollie on Twitter: "No rational actor would trust the FBI or DOJ to impartially handle new powers and authorities. Anyone proposing giving them new authority as opposed to removing authority, disbanding them, defunding them, or putting them under strict oversight, is unworthy of elected office."

ps; The Gun Control push from Justine Castreau and Perv. Biden--which was "coincidentally" scripted before this shooting--is all about taking guns away from Americans who just had their elections stolen–and who know it.

THEY DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT GUN DEATHS. THEY JUST KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE VIRUS/VAXX BIOWEAPON AND MAIMED COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF CHILDREN.

They want to disarm Americans so they can keep stealing elections until they’ve finished installing their precious World Government.

The message of the Second Amendment is clear:

"Hell no, you won't.".................

Due to his expertise from his role in Dallas Buyers Club, McConaughey interviewed Dr. Franken-Fauci. Instead of holding the mass murderer accountable for using all the same deadly tricks during both Plandemics, McConaughey let himself be schmoozed by Fauci.

Due to his expertise from growing up in Uvalde, blahblahblah lather rinse repeat.


If he were a little smarter, he might connect Fauci's Bio-Weapon Attack with the Framers' distrust of unchecked federal power.


If.

Heller: "In sum, we hold that the District's ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home. We are aware of the problem of handgun violence in this country. and we take seriously the concerns raised by the many amici who believe that prohibition of handgun ownership is a solution. The Constitution leaves the District of Columbia a variety of tools for combating that problem, including some measures regulating handguns. But the enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table. These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home. Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem. That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.".......

No wonder they put a pillow over his face.

Just as Fake Attorney General Garland will not protect the Justices now.

After: Cambodia's citizens turn over in their graves:

“Socialism’s results have ranged between the merely shabby and the truly catastrophic – poverty, strife, oppression and, on the killing fields of communism, the deaths this century of perhaps 100 million people. Against that doctrine was set a contrary, conservative belief in a law-governed liberty. It was this view which triumphed with the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. Since then, the Left has sought rehabilitation by distancing itself from its past.”--Actual Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
