“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.”
Displaying 1 result(s) from the 1828 edition:
MILI”TIA, n. [L. from miles, a soldier; Gr. war, to fight, combat, contention. The primary sense of fighting is to strive, struggle, drive, or to strike, to beat, Eng. moil, L. molior; Heb. to labor or toil.] The body of soldiers in a state enrolled for discipline, but not engaged in actual service except in emergencies; as distinguished from regular troops, whose sole occupation is war or military service. The militia of a country are the able bodied men organized into companies, regiments and brigades,with officers of all grades, and required by law to attend military exercises on certain days only, but at other times left to pursue their usual occupations.
That is the definition of a militia. All able bodied men are, by law, required to train at certain times. Otherwise, they are free to do as they wish. They aren’t on our payroll unless they are called into service. Here is what our Constitution says about our militia:
Article I section 8: Congress shall have the power:
"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union,
suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for
governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United
States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers,
and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline
prescribed by Congress;"
Wait, I thought it was the FBI
that
executes the law of the land at places like Waco?
Just remember that the government in DC is not our government, and never has been. It is
a central government. Lets see, these things just in the 20th century have killed over
170,000,000 (that's million) of their own people. First it disarms us, then it kills us.
Our only hope of survival with one of these things is being armed with the latest
weapons. So here we are, all men being called to duty. Who is going to protect the
family? Ladies, you need to be trained as well.
When the powers here saw the fit that the Mexican Militias gave us, they acted fast in
1903 with this:
Militia Act of 1903
The Militia Act of 1903, also known as the Dick Act, was the result of a program of reform and reorganization in the military establishment initiated by United States Secretary of War Elihu Root following the Spanish-American War of 1898 after the war demonstrated weaknesses in the militia, and in the entire United States military.
United States Senator Charles Dick, a Major General in the Ohio National Guard, sponsored the 1903 act, which gave Federal status to the militia. Under this legislation the organized militia of the States was required to conform to Regular Army organization within five years. The act also required National Guard units to attend 24 drills and five days annual training a year, and, for the first time, provided for pay for annual training. In return for the increased Federal funding which the act made available, militia units were subject to inspection by Regular Army officers, and had to meet certain standards.
Today, the National Guard is a reserve force for the Federal standing Army.
“Governments need armies to protect them against their enslaved and opposed subjects.” Leo Tolstoy (1893)
Dick ACT? Congress has no power to alter our Constitution by passing an ACT! It has to be an Amendment approved by the States. Here is the supreme Courts ruling on “Acts.”
“An unconstitutional Act is not law; it confers no right’s; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” – U.S. Supreme Court, Norton V. Shelby County 118-LL5, 425,442
Article 1 section 8, Congress shall have the power “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;”
Here is what George Washington had to saqy about the military:
“Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.”
Have we grown so numb that we don’t remember what brought Russia down? It was the money they lost fighting in Afghanistan. Obama just asked Congress for another sixty billion to keep fighting this year alone. We have been at it for seven years now. We’re out front, and the elite are plundering both sides behind the scenes.
300,000 barrels of oil a day unaccounted for in Iraq. A gas pipeline being built across Afghanistan. Are we going to prosper from any of this? NEVER!
They are using our resources to steal their resources.
