Please Prevent another Civil War
Ben Vitale
When I studied American History in grammar school I was
upset and angered to find out that the United States was at war with itself! I
vowed, at that time to never let that happen again. I was determined to never
remain silent if this type of situation ever materialized. Unfortunately history
is indeed repeating itself.
The latest practice of trying to force gun control
legislation into law, in violation of our Constitution, has caused people and
States to preemptively resist these laws. The problem is that
many of the States have no intention of just handing over, their right to own
guns to the Federal Government. That is; resist at all and any cost! This
scares me; a person wrote in a comment box; “Let's just have the Civil War and
get it over with already.” This is only the beginning of a chain of actions by
multiple states, that are in response to the threat to our Second Amendment rights.
The states of Tennessee, Alaska, South Dakota, Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee and Montana, passed “the Firearms Freedom
Act,” That stated that their state is not subject to Federal firearms
legislation. http://firearmsfreedomact.com/
http://firearmsfreedomact.com/state-by-state/ The state of Wyoming passed a law that would
fine and imprison any Federal Marshall that attempted to enforce Federal
Firearms legislation in their state. There are about 20 other states that are
considering similar legislation. Our Federal officials do not want to listen to
what State officials have to say. “A Government, of the people, by the people,
and for the people;” but our Federal politicians do not want to uphold that
premise. Honestly; our elected officials swore to uphold the constitution of
the United States! I believe that the politicians that do not uphold our
constitution should be removed from office!
The Department of Homeland Security now has 2,700 armored
vehicles in its arsenal. I was upset at first with this acquisition, but the
DHS is in charge of Border, and terrorism security. If I were the DHS, I too
would have acquired these vehicles as they became available from Iraq. We now
have two Armies! I do not believe that the president should have total control
of the DHS; too much control by any single person is not desirable. The President has almost exclusive control of
the DHS. I believe that a panel of Senators and Congressmen should be inserted
into the DHS chain of command, to prevent a stupid directive from becoming a
Civil War.
Our politicians are first realizing the serious consequences
of their actions, to force Gun Control, on states that have no intention of
complying with Federal Law, if enacted. Noted journalist Charles Krauthammer said,
“Americans would revolt if Congress implemented sweeping, unprecedented gun
control legislation.” Pat Buchanan suggested that this country could wind up in
a revolution if the government continued with its assault on guns.
I am once again upset and angered! If the state of Montana
imprisons a Federal Marshall for trying to enforce an unwanted gun law, what do
you think will happen? The department of
homeland Security is charged to deal with insurrection, not foreign wars. The 2,700
armored vehicles and 1.6 Billion rounds of ammunition could be used on the
people of Montana. That’s it; our government could be shooting at our
relatives; American citizens. If that
doesn’t start a civil war, nothing will!
We must immediately insert a second line of control to the
Department of Homeland Security; just to be sure a civil war is not inadvertently
started by the stupid careless act of a single person. It is up to our Senators
and Congressmen to intervene! We need a panel of Senators and Congressman, who
have the absolute authority to control the actions of the Department of
Homeland Security.
