The War to Disarm Americans is Near: Justice Stephen Breyer Says the Founding Fathers Would Have Supported Gun Control

If you want to know where the war on your guns by the federal government is heading, look at how Justice Stephen Breyer molested the Second Amendment. First before we get into Breyer's ignorant argument, let's review the Second Amendment because the language of the founding fathers is clear.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Our Founding Fathers obviously knew there comes a time with oppression where simply words will not protect the rights and freedoms granted by our Constitution whether those oppressive enemies are foreign or domestic. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. That means Congress should not pass laws banning the right to bear arms--all arms from the smallest hand guns to fully automatic weapons to bazookas. The right to bear arms is given to the people for one reason, and one reason only--to protect a free people. It doesn't get anymore basic than that.

Yet, over the weekend, Justice Breyer made the claim our Founding Fathers would support gun control today--even though history shows us they used guns to gain their freedom over oppressive King George.

Breyer said referring to the Washington DC hand gun ban:

Madison "was worried about opponents who would think Congress would call up state militias and nationalize them. 'That can't happen,' said Madison," said Breyer, adding that historians characterize Madison's priority as, "I've got to get this document ratified."

Therefore, Madison included the Second Amendment to appease the states, Breyer said.

"If you're interested in history, and in this one history was important, then I think you do have to pay attention to the story," Breyer said. "If that was his motive historically, the dissenters were right. And I think more of the historians were with us."

Now I had never heard about this in history for. Madison after all became a strong anti federalist supporting Thomas Jefferson. Obviously, Breyer is quoting concerns address in the Federalist Papers written by Madison; however, after these papers were written, Madison adopted little 'R' Republicanism and opposed a strong central government like Jefferson. It is this shift later on in Madison's life that Breyer tends to ignore.

Even without this little tidbit of philosophical change from federalist to anti-federalist, it is the Founding Fathers who put pressure on Madison to ensure the right to bear arms was included in the Constitution. Regardless of what Madison thought during the Constitutional Convention, his view didn't win out and the Second Amendment is part of the Supreme Law of the Land, and that's a fact that Breyer tends to want to ignore.

Breyer's statement is really the equivalent of saying because over 50% of Americans didn't approve of Obamacare, we are just going to ignore it, but you and I know it doesn't work that way. However, coming from a Supreme Court Justice that refuses to see the Second Amendment is the Supreme Law of the Land, well this is just scary if you ask me and it proves the war to disarm us is coming.
