Threatening the Aristocracy
The Constitution vs. Gun Control

The Gun Control panel brought together leaders of the nation's leading Gun Rights initiatives and discussed the continuing erosion 2nd Amendment through attacks on our Constitution. The panel covered the recent decision by the Supreme Court to leave undisturbed the decision by the recent 9th Circuit in Silveira that the 2nd Amendment does not guarantee an individuals Right to keep and bear arms, and the means to arrest future abuses.

The panel opened with Joseph Sobran providing an overview of the 2nd Amendment Right and its relationship to the People in controlling "government gone tyrannical."

The balance of this wide-ranging and engaging discussion involved substantial discourse of the defense of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and its implications in the defense of our Constitution. The discussion moved openly and somewhat strongly into language reminding the conference about the real reason for the 2nd Amendment - it is the "ultimate" check and balance in the securing of freedom against the agents of abusive government.

Every gun Rights advocate - NO - every American -- needs to listen to these thoughtful and powerful commentaries and understand the frank words and warnings coming from those that have closely studied the history of our Republic and know what may inevitably await this nation should our government continue to deny us the peaceful and non-violent avenues to secure Redress that are guaranteed per Natural Right and our Constitution.

With no doubt, this panel minced no words: the 2nd Amendment is the "canary in the mineshaft" of freedom.

  • Angel Shamaya, founder, Keep And Bear Arms.com

  • Peter Mancus, Attorney and author, "Reflections Upon the U.S. Supreme Court's Rejection of Silveira."
