PROPAGANDA  vs. TRUTH



The liberals in the media, and other left-wing anti-Constitution
elements, have dishonestly and deliberately attempted to
misinform and mislead the American people as to what the Second
Amendment means.  The authors of the  Constitution and Bill of
Rights were very explicit in what they  intended and declared. 
Yet, many legislators and judges, through ignorance or
misinformation continue to violate our natural, inalienable,
God-given right to defend our lives, loved ones, property and
freedom.  All Americans must understand that the issue is not
"hunting" or "the sporting and recreational use of guns.  "The
issue is the right of the people to be armed.  The real,
subversive purpose of the gun-control pushers is to disarm the
American people.

THIS IS WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS SAID:

Thomas Jefferson:   "No free man shall ever be debarred the use
of arms.  The strongest reason  for the people to retain the
right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect
themselves against tyranny in government.  The constitutions of
most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all
power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by
themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times
armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of
religion, freedom of property and freedom of the press."

Patrick Henry:   "The great object is that every man be armed. 
Everyone who is able may have a gun."

James Madison:   "Americans have the right and advantage of
being armed --unlike the citizens of other countries, whose
governments are afraid to trust people with arms."  The right of
the people to keep (to have and to hold, openly or concealed)
and bear (carry, transport, and use) fire arms (weapons of
self-defense, including the handgun which predated the rifle and
has existed for self-defense since the 1500's) shall not be
infringed (invalidated, limited, abridged), a well-
regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained
in arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country."

Samuel Adams:   "The constitution shall never be construed...to
prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable
citizens from keeping their own arms."

Alexander Hamilton:  "The best we can hope for concerning the
people at large is that they be properly armed."

George Mason:   "I ask, sir, what is the militia?   It is the
whole people, except for a few public officials.

Elbridge Gerry:   "I ask what is the purpose of the militia?  To
offset the need of large standing armies, the bane of liberty."

George Washington:   "Firearms stand next in importance to the
constitution itself.  They are the American people's liberty
teeth and keystone under independence, to ensure peace,
security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally
indispensable.  The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere
restrains evil interference--they deserve a place of honor with
all that's good."

THIS IS WHAT THE SECOND AMENDMENT MEANS

	The Right To Own And Bear Arms Is An Individual Right.

	The Militia Consists Of All The People, At All Times.

	Every Citizen Has The Absolute, God-given Right To Be Armed And
        To Defend His Person, Family, Property, And Country.

	No Government Or Legislature Has The Authority To Restrict Or
        In Any Way Infringe On 	The Right Of The People To Be Armed.


IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION,
PRESERVE THE REPUBLIC, AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOM 
OF THE PEOPLE.
