In our last post, Supporting our “transformed” Military<\/a>, we addressed the issue that our military Chaplains are now being told to get with the gay marriage program or get out. Their first amendment rights are apparently meaningless and to my knowledge they have no support from the SECDEF, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,\u00a0the Joint Chiefs themselves or any member of Congress.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now we find our 2nd amendment is under heavy fire;\u00a0VP Joe Biden today suggested that the President can reform gun control without approval of Congress by the use of Executive Orders.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a very disturbing trend here. All of us that served in the military took an oath “to support and defend our Constitution.” The same is true with our elected officials. Yet under this current administration our Constitution appears to be a meaningless document that they abhore and refuse to abide by.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tragic event at Sandy Hook elementary certainly mandates\u00a0a serious and\u00a0rational discussion on how we can better protect our children and grandchildren as a society. But we can not<\/span> ignore the Constitutional rights of the American people or mandate the repeal of the 2nd amendment without the approval of Congress and the majority of the states as thoughtfully outlined in our founding document:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Article V:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After surviving John Hinckley’s assassination attempt in 1981, Ronald Reagan said:\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n“You won’t get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There’s only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don’t actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time … It’s a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience.”<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
