When you cite the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, call it for what it is and say it like, "My Right to Keep and Bear Arms" shall not be infringed. It works for all the rest.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of a religion for me, or to prohibit my free exercise of the one I choose.

Plug it in anywhere "the people," "Persons," "the owner," "the accused," etc. is placed in the Bill of Rights - or anywhere else in the Constitution where it mentions the people.

Another example: The Fifth Amendment. "I shall not be held ..." "...nor shall I be subject for the same offense to be twice ...".

Personalize it. Then you'll know just how it can effect you directly in any and all such cases, and how it is a direct assault on you whenever any of your God given rights are violated, or infringed, or abridged, or ignored.

A relevant definition of 'person' i: one who is recognized by law as the subject of rights and duties.(Websters Universal Dictionary and Thesaurus: 1993)

I thought the whole purpose of having the right to keep and bear arms was to keep the politicians and the judiciary in line because they are OUR representatives not vice versa.

That's right. It is self defense through and through. Government is a necessary evil at best, and those people in those positions of limited power must be kept in check lest they endeavor to exceed those limited powers to enslave us under a dictatorial tyranny that serves them. That is the epitome of self defense.

Think of those people as our employees hired to do the jobs the Constitution spells out - and nothing more. They are not our rulers. They are not our bosses. Their only job is to secure our liberty and sovereignty.

There has been so much usurpation - of which there is no grant of power for them to grasp more power than the Constitution spells out - that we are bordering on dictatorial tyranny right now. It has happened - is happening - right under our noses, and it wreaks of despotism.

Note that the Militia is not created by any grant of power in the Constitution. The Militia is extra constitutional. It rests solely in the hands of the several states. Even though it can be called upon by the United States Government to execute the laws of the Union, repel invasion, and suppress insurrection, it is a force to be used to hobble a runaway government. Just its very presence is all it takes. It is why there is such a push to disarm We the Persons throughout much of our national government(oppressors).

If you can't see this, let them disarm us and see where we end up. Eh - Just don't count me in the "us" and "we". I'll not survive disarmament.

I think that was the original purpose, but the politicians have the military with an unlimited amount of guns and ammo at their beck and call.

That's not quite the way it works. The politicians do have the military at their beck and call on FOREIGN soil so to speak. The ONLY way .mil operates on US soil is if the Insurrection Act is in force and the Cons-gress does not have the authority to enact the Insurrection Act. That is a presidential power. Now Jobama just might do that.
