I know how stupid that sounds, because I’ve been reading articles these last few weeks from supposed combat veterans who think that no one should own AR rifles and they sound pretty stupid to me. Being a combat veteran has nothing to do with the gun control discussion. Nothing. <\/p>\n

It’s just like the controversy every year at the Fourth of July celebrations where we’re supposed to be mindful of veterans when we ignite our fireworks. It’s just a bunch of people trying to remind you that they want you to believe that they’re combat veterans.<\/p>\n

It’s really nothing more than attention-whoring at it’s worst. It’s on par with me saying that because I’m a combat veteran, you don’t deserve a tax cut. One has nothing to do with the other.<\/p>\n

The Second Amendment is meant to apply to everyone whether they served in the military or not, that an armed population guarantees freedom for all of us from enemies both foreign and domestic. The Bill of Rights was written to protect the minority from the majority, the Bill reminds us that some rights are God-given. <\/p>\n

The Declaration of Independence says that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the spirit of that, when the founders wrote the Constitution, they added the Bill of Rights in order to protect us from the government being too intrusive into our lives and our pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n

If the Second Amendment wasn’t so important, why else would thousands of people gather this past weekend to announce their intention to disarm us? Why else would this Daryl Fisher fellow be running for sheriff in Buncombe County, North Carolina on a platform of prying our guns from our cold, dead hands?<\/p>\n
