Last week I outlined proof that the United States Constitution is NOT a "living document," and that the rights in the Constitution were to be interpreted as they were written, for their original intent, and that those rights are not granted by government, but only there to be protected from government. Today I'd like to continue with a few thoughts of the founders and authors of the documents that created this great country.

Samuel Adams, signer of the Declaration, "Father of the American Revolution:"

The said Constitution should be never construed to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.

Fisher Ames, an author of the second amendment:

The right of bearing arms is declared to be inherent in the people.

Patrick Henry, Governor, Patriot Leader, author of one of my favorite quotes ("Give me Liberty or Give me Death."):

The great object is that every man be armed. Every one who is able may have a gun.

Patrick Henry, Governor, Patriot Leader:

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.

Thomas Jefferson:

No citizen shall be debarred the use of arms within his own lands.

As can very clearly and obviously be seen here, the founders of this country and the early framers of the United States Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, said that every citizen who desires arms should have them. There is no possible interpretation of any of these great men that would even suggest that government has any right or ability to limit that right to bear arms.

Still not enough? There's more tomorrow!
