“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.(U.S. Constitution).” This short sentence has been at the forefront of debate in the United States of America for several years now, but why? Why has this Amendment been such a hot topic for so many years and why don’t we just abolish it? The first half of that sentence is why this is such a massive debate. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…” Being that our founding fathers just broke ties with a corrupted English government, it makes perfect sense why they would want a militia to ensure that America will always remain a free country, even from it’s own government. Before you question, but we don’t have a “well regulated militia”, believe it or not we actually do. They are known as the United States National Defense Corpse. Their mission statement dictates:
“The mission of this CORPORATION is to provide emergency support services, in the best interest of the community or upon request, to recognized outside agencies in the event of both manmade and natural disasters and to provide activities to honor and support our veterans and their families. (USNDC).”
When they say “manmade” disasters, we can only assume that they are referring to travesties such as genocide. Before you say “well the U.S. would never go as far as to systematically murder thousands if not millions of people based of race or creed”, Our government has openly discriminated against other cultures before since the beginning, from intentionally giving native Americans smallpox to kill them off for land, to the forced internment of millions of Japanese Americans during World War II out of fear that they may be spies, the U.S. Government has proven that there are always corrupt people in high places of power. Granted they were not there to protect the native Americans because this was before we declared ourselves as a free nation and before our founding fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution. So where was this militia during the internment of Japanese Americans? As it turns out they did not exist until former president Ronald Reagan Executive ordered their formation. “This organization was formed via executive order by President Ronald Reagan and was founded by US Airforce Veteran CG Joseph V. Potter.” says fellow blogger “why soldiers never talk”. Ronald Reagan didn’t hold office until long after WWII. What we can note however, is that there have been no identified acts inhumane treatment of U.S. civilians from the U.S. government since the militia has been founded. As much as we can agree public shootings are horrible events of the modern day era, can we agree that the removal of the second amendment would further endanger millions of additional people every day as there is no country with a strong enough military to save us from our government if a second holocaust were to ever happen. It would rest on our shoulders as the civilians of this nation. I know it’s a scary thought to conceive of our government turning on us, and many of you may be saying our government hasn’t committed an inhumane act in years but ask yourselves, would you remove you sprinkler system in your house or apartment just because you haven’t had a fire in years? Our militia is a similar concept. It’s Something we hope we will never have to use, but must have for emergency use. I apologize for not using the reputable sources but the USNDC has been around for years and should have been known by the public without need for being backed by a reputable source and “why soldiers never talk” is the only place i could find an estimate age of the militia as i can imagine they would want to limit as much information as possible regarding their age/population as possible.
