He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Thomas Paine
Government is a fiction, it's a story we tell ourselves in the vain hope of protection from those things we have been indoctrinated to fear. The actions taken by “government” are the actions of people who desire the power to tell you how you should spend your life, their agenda is not your safety, happiness or freedom but the acquisition of power and riches. They claim to represent the citizens of the United States then show their distain with with name calling, illegal activities and the prosecution of whistleblowers. The system is designed to bypass the will of the people and continue the collectivist agenda to force a socialist society upon the general populace while creating and maintaining a new aristocracy that live in world set apart.
One of the main tools of a tyranny is the disarming of the populace. When the citizens lose their inalienable right to purchase and posses the means of self defense they also lose the ability to confront minions of a corrupt government and are helpless in the face of tyranny. The Constitution gives the right and obligation to overthrow a tyrannical government. The reason that the second amendment in the Bill of Rights IS the second amendment is because it is because it is the only way a citizen can insure his other rights ARE NOT infringed upon by tyranny.
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson
