Shall Not be Infringed: The New Assaults on Your Second Amendment is a history of the relatively short gun control debate in America and a revealing description of how those hostile to the Second Amendment use polls, studies, and numbers to confuse the public. Expert pro-gun advocates David Keene and Thomas Mason tell the story of the battle fought in the courts, Congress, and state legislatures across the country as well as in the media and even the United Nations. Guns have become a symbol over which battle after battle is fought, all the while hiding the end game of a cultural shift to government dominance. Although the Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to “keep and bear arms,” candidate Clinton and the Democratic Party have promised to pick Supreme Court justices who will overturn this ruling. Gun control advocates insist the Court was wrong and a new Court should reverse that finding, stripping American gun owners of the Constitutional protection that has thus far made it impossible to ban gun ownership. Addressing vital issues such as deterring and preventing crime, troubling presidential and Congressional politics, problematic anti-gun proposals, and so much more, Shall Not Be Infringed is an essential read for our times.

We are all born with unalienable rights that are given to us by God. The people authorized and formed governments to protect our rights. Instead our governments have attacked our rights in a quest for power not granted to them. This book is about our right to defend ourselves and those we love from those who would harm us, be it other people or governments, even our own. This book is direct and to the point and thus not a long-winded work. It is directed to the people of Ohio specifically and its government. Unconstitutional laws restricting our unalienable rights must not be allowed to stand. This book clearly points out the abuse imposed on us by our government and a call to correct it.

2A SHALL NOT BE INFRINGEDAlthough the Second Amendment does allow for people to own guns, it does not prevent government regulation of firearms. Gun laws help to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. They also help to keep track of guns and determine what type of weapons people are allowed to own. There are certainly some weapons, like a nuclear bomb, that the public should not own. The tough thing is deciding where to draw the line. This is currently of great debate in American politics.Scroll up and buy

"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." —Amendment II, United States Constitution The Second Amendment is regularly invoked by opponents of gun control, but H. Richard Uviller and William G. Merkel argue the amendment has nothing to contribute to debates over private access to firearms. In The Militia and the Right to Arms, or, How the Second Amendment Fell Silent, Uviller and Merkel show how postratification history has sapped the Second Amendment of its meaning. Starting with a detailed examination of the political principles of the founders, the authors build the case that the amendment's second clause (declaring the right to bear arms) depends entirely on the premise set out in the amendment's first clause (stating that a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state). The authors demonstrate that the militia envisioned by the framers of the Bill of Rights in 1789 has long since disappeared from the American scene, leaving no lineal descendants. The constitutional right to bear arms, Uviller and Merkel conclude, has evaporated along with the universal militia of the eighteenth century. Using records from the founding era, Uviller and Merkel explain that the Second Amendment was motivated by a deep fear of standing armies. To guard against the debilitating effects of militarism, and against the ultimate danger of a would-be Caesar at the head of a great professional army, the founders sought to guarantee the existence of well-trained, self-armed, locally commanded citizen militia, in which service was compulsory. By its very existence, this militia would obviate the need for a large and dangerous regular army. But as Uviller and Merkel describe the gradual rise of the United States Army and the National Guard over the last two hundred years, they highlight the nation's abandonment of the militia ideal so dear to the framers. The authors discuss issues of constitutional interpretation in light of radically changed social circumstances and contrast their position with the arguments of a diverse group of constitutional scholars including Sanford Levinson, Carl Bogus, William Van Alstyne, and Akhil Reed Amar. Espousing a centrist position in the polarized arena of Second Amendment interpretation, this book will appeal to those wanting to know more about the amendment's relevance to the issue of gun control, as well as to those interested in the constitutional and political context of America's military history.

In 1791, the U.S. Congress ratified the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment states, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." With those words, the Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for a political and social touchstone that is still controversial after more than 200 years. Today, arguments over the true meaning and intention of the Second Amendment play out across our nation. With this book, readers go beyond the sensational headlines to explore the origins of the Second Amendment, both in a historical and contemporary context.

More gun control? The politicians come up with a myriad of crazy solutions, but continue to ignore the problem. There are plenty of gun laws on the books, good ones, but they are not fully enforced. Add a thousand more laws and regulations, yet it will do nothing more than keep good honest citizens from legally being able to protect themselves. On the other hand, criminals and illegal aliens are armed with all sorts of firearms, laws or not. The bigger picture is simply this, the federal government does Not have the constitutional right to restrict or regulate our firearms. Yet, our rights as private citizens are greatly restricted by many federal laws. If the founding Fathers could only see how much we have shredded our county's establishment, they would call for another revolution. These are perilous times, and sadly, with every disastrous or horrific event, "We the People" eagerly surrender more and more of our freedoms to the central government. The 2nd Amendment reads: "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". The government, the federal government at least, is not to limit or restrict this right. It is most closely related to the 1st Amendment of free speech because the people have the right to speak out against the government, and to assemble (peacefully). Also the 2nd is closely associated with the 4th and 5th, as the people have the rights to own property and not be subject to search and seizure without due process. Yet in the emotional frenzy that follows every tragic shooting incident, members of Congress cry out for ever more gun restrictions and even confiscation. Rather, Congress needs to fix the NCIC database, address mental illness, and enforce the immigration laws. If we are a nation of laws, then our politicians need to serve the people instead of playing politics.The point of this book is to alert and remind ourselves that we are a nation of laws, and that we as citizens have rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by our founding document, the Constitution. Rather than get into the "nuts and bolts" of the laws and proposed ideas of what and how new and old regulations work, my intent is to suggest that our "inalienable rights" are being squashed. We, as a free people, need to educate ourselves, and determine for ourselves where and which way we want our governing leaders to guide us. It is through the power of your vote, which is your voice, to elect those leaders that uphold your values and traditions. There are a number of ideas and topics discussed that I hope to inspire you to learn more, and inspire you to do something (at least vote).There was a humorous but pointed story that is greatly appropriate. "A bunch of sheep were happily grazing in the field, enjoying the comforts of their lives. A wolf came out of the woods and killed one of the sheep. In a panic, they formed a consensus on what to do. They decided the best way to keep themselves safe was to remove all of their teeth. Later, the wolf came back and killed them all." Get the picture?

While the U.S. Constitution is brilliant, do all of its 18th-Century notions make sense in a modern world? Specifically, should the right to keep and bear arms apply to today's relentlessly violent society where mentally and emotional disturbed individuals make headlines everyday by killing people in mass with high-powered , modernized weaponry? In an objective way, we explore the original application of the Second Amendment, as well as how the United State's courts have defined it through the years.The original Constitution, which 39 state delegates signed on September 17, 1787, after a four-month long Constitutional Convention, made it clear that any newly formed Federal Government of the United State of America would have limited powers.While the original Constitution expressed the notion of limited power within the Federal Government, it provided few specific rights and liberties for the people. Without these individual rights attached to the Constitution, many state delegates believed that a strong Federal Government could potentially abuse its citizens by denying them basic rights.These delegates, called Anti-Federalists, were led by Virginia's Patrick Henry, who did not sign the original Constitution and demanded a Bill of Rights for the people, refusing to support ratification of the document without amendments attached to it. Reluctantly, the Federalists led by Virginia delegate James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, being its primary writer, and New York delegate Alexander Hamilton agreed to the amendments in order to complete ratification.The Federal Government of the United States under the U.S. Constitution began operation on March 4, 1789, and on September 25, 1789, the first Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution. In 1791, the states ratified 10 of those amendments. Sharing the Second Amendment of the 10 amendments are two ideas that the framers of the Constitution constructed to align with one another, although the specific reason for the alignment is not altogether clear in the eyes of many. The ambiguity of their relationship to one another has created division in the years since ratification. Additionally, the American populace has tested both ideas as separate entities through the years because of the amendments simple phrasing and lack of elaboration. Therefore, interpretations of the amendment are vast, and its place within the context of today's society adds to the complexity of the 27 words that make up Amendment II, which read:"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."The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms and was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments contained in the Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the right belongs to individuals, while also ruling that the right is not unlimited and does not prohibit all regulation of either firearms or similar devices. State and local governments are limited to the same extent as the federal government from infringing this right per the incorporation of the Bill of Rights.The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. Sir William Blackstone described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.In the twenty-first century, the amendment has been subjected to renewed academic inquiry and judicial interest, and debate between various organizations regarding gun control and gun rights is a daily part of American society.
