Comments by Ted McDonald | Eastern North Carolina Now

The article was quickly written after I caused Gun Store Bob to go slightly postal. He just sent this response to the article and we are back to normal. He says:
Some conservatives will go postal when you talk gun control, that’s true. However, some will simply look at what their forefathers were thinking and what they where trying to interpret for years to come to the best of their ability and try to interpret their intent in a changing and more modern Country. As a direct descendant of some of these men, and as a Son of the Revolution, I think long and hard about these matters and formulate a truth that must be applicable to all!
When they were writing these eternal commands I can only imagine that they were done in an order that was of the most importance’s to them as they sure did put a lot of thought in the issues themselves. With this in mind, I always find it interesting that the 2nd Amendment was Weapon related. It was a forgone conclusion that everybody would have a weapon, they just wanted to firm it that Tyranny could be met with force. They certainly could not have imagined a weapon such as the government has available to them, but they sure did give way to the right of anyone to have the same if they could. Surely anyone who reads it could draw these conclusions, wouldn’t you agree?
So, if you do or should, because that’s what it allows for, then certainly you would agree that the AR platform is as close to the weapon that a Reservist would carry? Can a National Guardsman be spied on by a private investigator? Could they be accosted and have their identity and belongings stolen from them? Could someone assume their identity and obtain access to military weapons? You were in the military, could an extremely smart and well funded individual gain access to Military Grade Weaponry? You know as well as I that the answer is yes. Isn’t this what gun runners do? This part I don’t know? Do gunrunners have good military weapons? Do military weapons go missing? Doesn’t the radical groups fighting Americans all across deserts overseas fight with a simple AK47? Isn’t it a tactic of war to plan for things like this? Just because you can’t imagine it does that mean that it isn’t a possibility or even an inevitable?
I said all that to say this: the Amendment says, The Right of the People to keep and Bear Arms, Shall NOT be infringed.

Ted, banning anything is not allowed. Unless of course you run across someone who doesn’t care what the Forefathers saw as absolute, and says or agrees that yea, but!

There is no but, it simply is what it is and as a Man, a Christian Man, a Man with strong Convictions, I can only say, “How can you think this?” Especially someone who loves this Country, a Conservative, a person that can understand what the words mean and what they say”. Anyone like that should re-evaluate their thought process and learn the law and how quickly its eroding because strong conservatives giving way, here and there. Because it might hurt someone’s feelings if you speak the truth and then stand firm on it like an American should.

I’m the later, I believe that God was directing these men, and they were searching for him when they formed what America would Stand For. (Stand For, isn’t that permission to strongly disagree with and rebuke if necessary?) I believe that the Constitution of These United States of America were God Inspired and the Bible clearly tells us that you are not to add or Take Anything Away from it!! I believe the same is true for the Amendments.

Thank you for your service good sir! And Merry Christmas!

From Vet's email: I note that the most glaring thing he remembered was the food shortage. The old saying that an Army runs on its stomach is so true.

Allan L. predicts Popular Vote, not Electoral. There have been five United States presidential elections in which the winner lost the popular vote including the 1824 election, which was the first U.S. presidential election where the popular vote was recorded.

Lawyer Harmeet Dhillon argued that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides special protections for social media platforms, should be revised to “strip that immunity from those companies, because they do not deserve it.”

The streets of Atlanta are soon to be renamed and statues are being removed by educated people. Thirty miles away educated people have more productive things to do than paint crosswalks with rainbow colors. I am just saying..
