The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution 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."

What should the Second Amendment mean to you and me? The Second Amendment was written a long time ago, before many of us were born and this amendment is crucial in keeping us alive today by means of self-defense. Yet many will argue that it is necessary to infringe on this right, in an effort to curb gun violence. But this right was born through bloodshed and death with three percent of our forefathers deciding that we have a right to free speech, a right to worship without restrictions, and the right to self-governance.

The answer was to take up arms, as the last means necessary to protect their homes from the King of England edicts. Taxation without representation. And to prevent the occupation of a citizen's home by British soldiers. These were just a very few examples that our fellow citizens faced back then.

I say our fellow citizens because what our forefathers faced then; we are facing right now! This applies to today and we now are back to three percent standing up to tyranny. History does repeat itself and again we are here. From the Boston Tea Party protest to the oppressive mandates being placed on us this very moment across the world. We are all witnessing nations fall under a globalist tyrannical agenda.

The elite cabal wants us all unarmed and unable to defend ourselves from criminals and government overreach. The introduction I wrote is a warning to learn from the past. We need to be aware of our surroundings and realize that we may face some real challenges ahead.

This is not a message to be violent nor a message to take up arms. This is a message to be aware that many of our rights are being threatened. And they are under fire! Dare I say ALL OF OUR RIGHTS are corroding right before our very eyes. The Western world is one step closer to walking into full-blown oppression, like that of 1937 Germany or the Soviet Union, and now the Chinese Communist Party.
