Two-out-of-three Americans recognize that their constitutional right to own a gun was intended to ensure their freedom.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of American Adults think the purpose of the Second Amendment is to make sure that people are able to protect themselves from tyranny. Only 17% disagree, while another 18% are not sure.

You mean that 2/3rds of the American people read The Declaration of Independence and understand the difference between a right and a privilege?

We're making progress folks.

Look, this is really a binary thing. The Declaration asserts that:

---

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.

Government does not grant rights as government never possessed them in the first place. Government may grant privileges but it may not infringe (under natural law) on rights.

This is the foundational principle of America. It does not matter if 51%, 66%, 75% or 99.999% of the people don't want you to have one or more of your rights.

There is no legitimate act, whether by Congress, law, the Constitution or any other means to deprive you of your natural rights, because you are endowed with them by virtue of being human.

Government may disrespect those rights but it cannot change the fact that you have them, no matter how much disrespect it shows.

No man can take or restrict that which was not his to bestow in the first place.

Thanks for this thread!

(I see red every time I see/hear some jackwad on Fox News or elsewhere spouting this kind of crap:

- "Well, it looks like a majority of the American people want to see some "common sense" restrictions put in place."
- "The majority of the American people agree that "reasonable" restrictions need to be put in place to keep us "safe!"

As KD notes above, it doesn't matter what 99.9999% of the "American people" want or say in these assinine polls, NATURAL RIGHTS shall not be infringed.)

I see red everytime I hear one of the low information types, say duh, you mean you think individuals should own a nuclear device. Dummys are to stupid to know the differenc in a bomb and a gun. That being said, if you have a trillion dollars, maybe you can buy one in russia. But I doubt it. But if you want one buy it.

steph - the left is filled with that kind of hypocrisy. Hollywood stars mouthing off about gun control while having armed body guards and making movies steeped in gratuitous violence. Leftist politicians protected by armed security, sending their kids to private schools with armed security, and trying to take the right to bear arms away from their consituents.

I'll bet your sister is oblivious to the hypocrisy of her anti-gun/gun-threatening posture. I have relatives like that too.

Liberalism really does decrease brain function......
