We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
July 4, 1776
[That right to alter or abolish the existing government ultimately means the right to keep and bear arms.—Joe]
Right on Joe!
I agree that without firearms in the hands of the citizens, attempts to alter or abolish an unjust government will fail or be very costly.
They already ignore our complaints and they work to corrupt our voting rights by resisting voter registration.
The contempt they express towards us is almost palpable. They need to be reminded that they can push us too far.
Oops, I meant voter ID, not just registration.
