Our right to keep and bear arms is a God-given right. It proceeds this republic we know as the Untied States of America, and the second amendment to our republic's constitution . Our inalienable rights flow from God or Nature, rather than from government.
Wait a second, I know, someone is thinking how is the right to keep and bear arms a god given right? Someone is going to say it's not an inalienable right, that it's granted by the US constitution. Anyone heard of Divine law, and Natural Law? As an example Divine Law says in the bible that “Thou shall not murder” Natural Law gives us knowledge that killing for no reason, or evil reasons is wrong. Natural law is why a man who has never read the bible knows when something is evil or wrong. It's why many of us have a conscious that tells us right from wrong. It's a moral compass. Some believe natural rights flow from god, others believe they just occur naturally, that's another debate, so I'll keep this topic about the right to bear arms.
OK here is where all this comes together. Those natural laws that tell our conscience that killing for evil reasons, or stealing is wrong, also incline us to own our own property and protect that of which we own. Most importantly our greatest property is our own life, and such a property given to us by god must be defended. God or nature, depending on your beliefs, has given us life, and we have a duty to take the responsibility, and personally defend it to the best of our ability. To be able to effectively defend your life and liberty today, firearms is a must.
On this subject John Locke wrote “This makes it lawful for a man to kill a thief who has not in the least hurt him, nor declared any design upon his life, any farther than by the use of force, so to get him in his power as to take away his money, or what he pleases, from him; because using force, where he has no right to get me into his power, let his pretence be what it will, I have no reason to suppose that he who would take away my liberty would not, when he had me in his power, take away everything else.”
The gift of life is inalienable, coming to us from God, or if you don't believe in God, we will just say nature. And the right to defend that life ,with the common and most lethal arms of the day used by those wishing to take life, is also inalienable because it comes from God or nature. So even without the Bill of Rights, a piece of paper written by great men to help protect our future God given rights, we still have the Right to keep and bear arms. Whatever another man or Government does to deny or infringe such rights, is against Divine Law and Natural Law. To say we can't have such and such arms, is denying us not only Constitutional Rights that our founders of this Republic put in place as an attempted safeguard, but also God Given Rights or Natural Rights. Our Liberty is God Given, and it is our duty to protect it, and this is why our founders wrote the second amendment. They believed the greatest threat to a minorities liberty, came from government. Any dictator knows power comes from arms, or as the little Chinese communist once said, at the end of a barrel. We must remain vigilant, as we can not afford to keep giving up more and more of our inalienable rights.
