Terminal Government

"There exists a law, not written down anywhere, but inborn in our hearts, a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading, a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition, I refer to the law which lays down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right." - Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The premise laid down by those that support tyranny is that anyone who stands against the regime are "anti-government" and want to "kill fellow citizens". As the accusation goes, those willing to stand against the rise of oppressive government are considered to be dangerous terrorists that are willing to kill women and children. The people willing to stand up to an over-intrusive government are ridiculed into silence, attacked with the politics of personal destruction, and are eventually shamed into a corner where they can be controlled, silenced, and stopped before they can do anything. This is how a totalitarian system shuts down revolts before they begin.

Then the terror begins. Then the laws claiming to be against "sedition" go into place. Control mechanisms ensure nothing is being said that could be construed as "anti-government," be it through technology, civilian armies, or getting your neighbor or children to turn you in.

Liberty becomes the enemy, capitalism is crushed with big government programs and policies, and the revolution becomes something that people should have done, but it never got off the ground.

The revolutionaries against Nazism were disarmed and arrested before their plot could stop the rise of Hitler. Those who were against communism remained silent and at home because they feared the ruling class. Those that disagreed with the French Revolution were killed by a raging mob before the sense of reality could take hold. In America, however, the revolution began in the pubs, meeting halls, and churches of the colonies, and became a fact when the British came to take the Colonist's guns in Concord. The government rang out the first shots, but the Americans were the ones to stop tyranny.

The Founding Fathers understood the importance of enabling the people to take back their country if it became necessary. The right to keep and bear arms was not a right given to us by those revolutionaries, but a right given to us by God of which we are reminded of by the Second Amendment - "being necessary to the security of a free State. . . "

The militia is made up of any able-bodied person able to fight. The federal government was given no authority to infringe on the right of the populace to possess guns because it was the federal government that the Second Amendment was specifically written regarding.

"being necessary to the security of a free State."

A free State? The word "State" in the Second Amendment is not meant to mean "government," but "States". . . you know - a free Massachusetts, a free Virginia, a free Pennsylvania, a free New York, a free Georgia. The security of those States from foreign enemies, however, was in place by an army and navy authorized in Article I, Section 8.

So we must ask, "Being necessary to the security of the States against whom?"

The greatest risk to liberty is a tyrannical government system that abandons the rule of law and embraces the rule of men through a powerful oligarchy.

The only question remaining is where the line is. At what point are Americans pushed too far.

At what point should the Germans have acted to stop the Nazi regime?
