Editor,
The chief and most vital role of government is to support the protection and lives of its law abiding citizens and not infringe upon their divine right to protect themselves. Our society was founded on adherence to divine, moral, natural law. Our founders fought for and died to safeguard our rights of life, liberty and property. Those we have elected have sworn with an oath, that they would uphold our Constitution. We have entrusted our leaders not to infringe upon our inalienable rights. I implore all of us to stand up for our divine rights!
If we are complacent and our leaders infringe upon our rights to protect our lives, our liberty or property, criminals become empowered and law abiding citizens suffer and die. Criminals are not stupid; they go after easy targets where the chance of resistance is minimal. That is why most of the mass killings have been committed in “gun free” zones.
How often are police officers robbed? A strong defense suppresses criminal activity, both foreign and domestic. Our government was established “for the common defense.” Our government derives its authority to govern from us, the people.
The right to bear arms is not about hunting, it’s about the divine right and obligation to protect one’s self and family and others from criminals, who are only deterred from acts of violence when freemen are at liberty to protect themselves.
I would appeal to you, and particularly those who are in positions of trust and responsibility: Please remember these foundational principles and infringe not upon the right to bear arms. Stand up for freedom.
