The Second Amendment is to Protect Against Tyranny; Piers Morgan's Statistics on Violent Crimes in the U.S. and Britain are Wrong

The Second Amendment as passed by the Congress: 

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. 

What gets lost on people is the meaning of militia, which is:

An army composed of ordinary citizens, rather than professional soldiers, equipped to rise up against a tyrannical government.

The militia are not regular military but instead are citizens free to pursue their usual occupations yet when called upon for defense they gather their arms and answer the call. Pay attention to the fact the founders were referring to the militia of a country.

Those who insisted this be an amendment to the Constitution understood a state to be, as the 1828 dictionary and other historical documents of the day support, an independent nation. The 2nd Amendment was in place to remind the newly formed federal or general government each state's citizenry would be armed and ready to defend themselves should the need arise. The United States was a plural term, one nation was not formed.

If the founders had no concern the federal government could grow tyrannical there would have been no reason for them to put in the 2nd Amendment as part of the contract being formed between the sovereign states and the newly formed, limited federal government. Tyranny was a major concern since the founders knew the habit of man was a habit of seeking power and authority over their fellow man. The rights of citizens of a nation to keep and bear arms was necessary!

This is only one example of the many ways our Constitution was crafted to protect the people from an out of control government should it attempt to break the chains of the Constitution. It was, as a whole, developed so the people could control government, not the other way around. Armed militia, citizens of a country, were to defend against tyranny.

There is no doubt how serious our founding fathers were about this line of armed defense.

In the video below, Fox19 in Cincinnati presents the real statistics for violent crimes in the U.S. and Britain -- Piers Morgan is wrong.

Piers has to yell and scream in an attempt to drown out an opposing view because he knows that his argument is not valid. Piers' point is simple: gun confiscations mean fewer gun related murders. For example, the US had 8300 gun related murders, the UK had 35. So banning guns will reduce murders, right? Wrong. In EVERY instance when guns have been banned or confiscated, the murder rate has gone UP, a point which John Lott tries to make repeatedly. Plenty of examples to illustrate this fact: the UK, Australia, South Africa, Chicago, Washington DC, etc. So what is Piers really saying? All he cares about are fewer gun related murders knowing damn well that the overall murder rate will skyrocket, which is fine, so long as guns aren't involved... Which again leads us to the obvious conclusion that "they" don't care about our safety. Gun control is really about people control; i.e., disarming the citizenry. [Piers Morgan: murder is fine. Gun related murder is wrong ...]

Twelve real reasons why Piers Morgan is crazier than Alex Jones

January 9, 2013

NaturalNews - On Monday night's CNN broadcast of the barely-watched Piers Morgan show, infowarrior Alex Jones handed Piers Morgan his best ratings ever. He also "lost his cool," according to the mainstream media which blasted Jones all day Tuesday, trying to paint him as a radical with "dangerous" ideas... y'know, like those insane ideas outlined in the U.S. Bill of Rights.

And yet, in those fifteen or so minutes that CNN producers even allowed Alex to remain on the show before kicking him off the set, Alex managed to broadcast a massive collection of truths that you normally never hear anywhere on the mainstream media: the dangers of psychiatric drugs, the truth about 9/11, why true Americans will fight for their Second Amendment rights and so on.

Media elitists are calling Alex Jones "bonkers" and "crazy." But the more I thought about it, the more I realized Piers Morgan is far crazier than Alex Jones. Here's why...

Twelve reasons why Piers Morgan is crazier than Alex Jones

#1) Piers Morgan stands for globalist lies, propaganda and teleprompter-scripted fake news. Alex Jones stands for real news, with all its unscripted passion and spontaneous outrage. Which of these is crazier?

#2) Piers Morgan thinks slaves are supposed to be "polite" while they're being stripped of their self defense and human rights. That's crazy! Alex Jones recognizes the threat and says "HELL NO!" and shatters the false matrix of civil obedience.

#3) If Piers Morgan has a problem with you, he'll wait for you to leave and then say nasty things behind your back. If Alex Jones has a problem with you, he'll just come right out and say it to your face. Which is more honest?

#4) Piers Morgan stands for higher ratings. Alex Jones stands for principles upon which our nation was founded. Is that crazy?

#5) Piers Morgan is the kind of globalist coward that would arm-twist someone else into fighting for him. He's got armed bodyguards, after all. Alex Jones never has bodyguards and he would fight any man with bare fists. Or, if Alex were part of your fire team, he would pick up a rifle like everyone else and march straight to the front lines. Okay, that might be a little crazy, but it's at least the kind of crazy you want on your team! Morgan is a coward. Jones is a man of courage.

#6) Piers Morgan thinks the process of enslaving and oppressing people must remain "civil" and "proper." How crazy is that? Alex Jones thinks oppressed people must fight back at any cost to protect the liberty of future generations and beat back tyranny. That makes more sense than anything I've ever heard coming out of CNN!

#7) Piers Morgan thinks America would be better if it were a lot more like Britain, with all its violent muggings, police state surveillance and total censorship by insanely oppressive monarchy. That's insane! Alex Jones thinks America would be better if it were a lot more like the Republic, where all men are created equal and there is no silly king or queen claiming some sort of spooky, superstitious "divine right" to rule over everyone else.

#8) Piers Morgan thinks that his First Amendment overrides your Second Amendment. Loonville, isn't it? Alex Jones believes that both the First and Second Amendments are immutable, divine rights that can never be stripped from anyone. That makes total sense to me!

#9) Piers Morgan fled a media empire in the UK after being accused of involvement in a criminal hacking fraud. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Alex Jones built his own media empire from the ground up by telling the truth, and he flees no one.

#10) Piers Morgan demands total obedience to corrupt, criminal authority. Alex Jones believes in total DIS-obedience to false authority.

#11) Piers Morgan represents the same insanely power-hungry redcoat traitors who once tried to disarm, enslave and rule over colonial America. Alex Jones represents the sound-minded rebellious patriots who rightfully shot and killed the redcoats in order to declare independence from tyranny. Piers Morgan thinks 1776 was a terrible loss for his country. Alex Jones knows that 1776 was a great victory for his. Who is more sane now?

#12) Piers Morgan eats buttered scones with light toast for breakfast. Alex Jones devours tyrants as a scrumptious snack.
