Of course, their unspoken motive is to disarm the people, rendering them of necessity at the mercy of the standing army and increasingly, the police state. But the Second Amendment was not written to protect the rights of citizens to hunt and target shoot. Make mass searches and hold executions for found arms. If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
But today, modern Sociocrats and their media glitterati have made political fodder of our Bill of Rights, subverting its promise of freedom and liberty. The Founding Fathers boasted that all Americans were armed. Of course, they governed free men, not a herd of sheep. The Federalist is an advocate of individual, family and community governance, rights and responsibilities as espoused by our nation's Founders, and as originally intended by our Republic's Constitution as set forth in the Federalist Papers. The mission of our Editorial Board is to provide Constitutional Conservatives with a brief, timely, informative and entertaining survey and analysis of the week's most significant news, policy and opinion.
