This is a long one i have been seeing in comments on FB posts .. what is your all take ??
All gun laws, rules and policies are unconstitutional and must be eliminated! Regarding the
governments ability to impose "Reasonable Restraint" which has now become the mantra of our liberal influenced government.
Supporters of the bill of rights claim they have a constitutional or Second Amendment right to
keep and bear arms. Opponents counter even if it were the case, the government was granted
the general power to place restraints on the right. Both of these assertions are based on a
misconception concerning the intent of the document known as the Bill of Rights.
When the Bill of Rights was submitted to the individual States for ratification, it was prefaced
with a preamble. As stated in the preamble, the purpose of the Amendments was to prevent the
government from “misconstruing or abusing its powers.” To accomplish this, “further declaratory
and restrictive clauses” were being recommended. The Amendments, when adopted, did not
create any so-called constitutional rights or grant the government any power over individual
rights; they placed additional restraints and qualifications on the powers of the government
concerning the rights enumerated in the Amendments.
By advancing the myth Amendments grant the American people their individual rights, the
government has illegally converted enumerated restraints and qualifications on its power into
legislative, executive, judicial and administrative power over individual rights. The government
claims it was granted the constitutional authority to determine the extent of the individual rights
enumerated in the Amendments and/or impose “reasonable restraints” on those rights. This
assertion is absurd. The government does not have the constitutional authority to ignore,
circumvent, modify, negate or remove constitutional restraints placed on its power by the
Amendments or convert them into a power over the individual right enumerated in the particular
restraint.
A denial of power or an enumerated restraint on the exercise of power is not subject to
interpretation or modification by the entity the restraint is being imposed upon. The restraints
imposed by the Amendments, which were adopted 4 years after the Constitution was ratified,
override the legislative, executive, judicial or administrative powers of the government. If this
were not the case, then the restraints would be meaningless because the government could
simply circumvent, modify or remove them. Why would the States have requested and adopted
enumerated restraints on government power, subsequent to their ratification of the Constitution,
if the government possessed the authority to nullify them?
When the government infringes on one of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights it is not
violating anyone’s constitutional rights; it is violating the additional restraint or qualification
placed on its power by the particular Amendment where the right is enumerated. The distinction
between rights and restraints is critical. [The right is not given by the Government. Our rights
are natural born and are inalienable. Therefore, they can't be limited or taken away.]
As stated in the Declaration of Independence, the American people have unalienable rights that
come from a higher source than government or a written document. By acknowledging people
have natural rights, which are bestowed by a creator, the Founders laid the foundation for the
principle the government does not have the lawful authority to take away or infringe on those
rights. This principle was incorporated into the preamble and structure of the Amendments to
secure individual rights from government encroachment; that is why they were designed and
imposed as restraints on the exercise of power.
If the individual rights of the people had been created by the Constitution or an amendment to
the document, then they would cease to be unalienable because the right would depend on the
existence of a document. If the document or a provision of the document disappeared, so would
the right. The belief individual rights were created by a written document has opened the door
for the government to claim the power to define the extent of any right enumerated in an
Amendment. This has transformed constitutional restraints placed on governmental power into
subjective determinations of individual rights by the institutions of government. By failing to
understand the difference between amendments that create rights and amendments that
impose restraints on government, the American people are watching their individual rights
vanish as they are reduced to the status of privileges bestowed by government because the
constitutional restraints placed on governmental power are being replaced by government
decree.
Opponents of the Amendments always try to diminish the right enumerated in the Amendments
by asserting rights are not absolute. This is just another straw man argument because the
Amendment is about imposing a restraint of the powers of the government concerning a right:
not granting a right or defining the extent of a right. In addition, a review of the Second
Amendment shows the restraint imposed by the Amendment does not contain any exceptions.
