THE SECOND AMENDMENT

THE SECOND AMENDMENT

By

Fay E.A, Reid

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

Twenty-four words, two phrases, one sentence is not that difficult to remember. I have highlighted (sorry the highlighting didn’t come through) the first phrase because too many Americans tend to ignore it.

We still have the need for State Militias, we call them the National Guard. Throughout 45 individual Presidencies (we number the current President as 47, because he and Grover Cleveland were both elected to a second term after a break of four years. But this is the first time in 249 years that we have a President opposed to the Constitution (which I seriously doubt he has ever read, given his total and absolute misunderstanding of it). He and his fascist dictatorship are the first to be seen since Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany January 30, 1933 [No, I don’t remember that date, I wasn’t born until March 4, 1933, the day Franklin Delano Roosevelt was first inaugurated as President of the United States - and, man, we could sure use an FDR now)

Hitler was also elected by a plurality, not a majority of voters. And trump slime, like Hitler has raised his own gestapo, trump slime calls his ICE. Both the Nazi gestapo and ICE are no more than a bunch of untrained thugs. As the gestapo adored and clung to every black pearl that oozed from Hitler’s vile lips, so too, do the ICE thugs and their direct manager, kristi noem cling to the evil words of trump slime and ICE barbie.

Back to the Second Amendment, Every one of the 50 States in the Union (and even the District of Columbia has a small one) has a National Guard of varying size. In my State of California, we have called up the Guard (as well as voluntary convicts to assist in fighting wildfires, floods and occasionally (many years ago) out of control riots. Also to help with the aftermath of earthquakes, to which we, in California, are prone.

Other States, have done the same including cleaning up after hurricanes, frequent along the coastal areas of Southern States.

However, at the foundation of our Government militia were as often called upon to fight hostile indigenous people. I will not argue the rightness or wrongness of this use, just that it did occur and this was a further use for State Militia - now National Guard.

Never in our 249 year history were we called upon to protect ourselves from our own malignant government. Yes, we had a Civil war, but that was fought by National Armies and Navies of the Union of United States and the Southern Confederacy. That war was fought over slavery. The Southern State populations were attempting to spread westward and bring slavery along with them. As now, the Southern States had more territory, but fewer people, less accumulated wealth, but more obscenely wealthy people. The North won, hands down. But, most unfortunately for the Country as a whole, our President, Abraham Lincoln was murdered in cold blood and his successor was from a different party as well as being a Southerner, born in South Carolina and elected from Tennessee. His heart lay with the Southern slavers. So the real problem of how to treat the human beings wrongfully brought from Africa to the United States in slavery’s chains, still exists. We allowed these people to be brought here to enrich the Southern aristocrats. We owe these formerly enslaved Homo sapiens a debt of gratitude for all the many services they have given to us paler skinned Homo sapiens. And here I will remind all my readers of the Scientific fact.‘There is ONLY one genus and one species of Homo sapiens, there are NO subspecies, and only cosmetic differences among human beings everywhere on Planet Earth.

Returning once more to the second amendment, the first phrase. ‘A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State’ Gives every State the clear Constitutional right to call up the National Guard in defense of that State against any and all enemies - in this case against our own Federal Government which was elected by a plurality NOT majority of votes, [thanks to the 90 million people who chose not to vote].

I think it is time for every State in the Union, having a Democrat controlled State Government - and even those States who regret they unwittingly voted in a fascist dictatorship - to call up our National Guard to defend us against an unconstitutional, unlawful Federal Government run amok.
