Today, we are informed that Supreme Court Justice Nominee Sonia Sotomayor was handed a Second Amendment question. Her answer was the same as John Kerry’s and dopey conservatives who sell themselves out for gun control: it’s about Hunting.

It isn’t about Hunting. It is about being armed on our own authority in order that we may easily discredit the need for predatory boondoggle policies and programs which attempt to substitute government control over our own better judgment and independence. Now, all of America is beginning to feel precisely what gun owners have been warning against for decades. The idea that what happens to gun control will happen to all other corners of our society, proven on gun control first.

How gun control goes, so goes the nation.

When I urged the Committee to quiz Sotomayor on how police have no duty to protect individuals from the criminal acts of others, I wanted to see if she is familiar with the concept. If she isn’t, then she doesn’t get it. If she is, then she must be cold-blooded and indifferent to whole families who must face thugs alone and without the ability to resist. Naturally, this grows crime, which makes gun control predatory.

There is more. If Sotomayor does not understand the concept 2A and how police have no duty to be any substitute for your own immediate authority to act in self-defense, then she was not nominated for her knowledge, but for her ignorance.

And the Congress needs to get it too, or they, too, will believe that 2A is for hunting and not for fighting crime on citizen authority in conjunction with law enforcement.

The entire dialog reveals whether they know we are the sovereign over them or if they believe otherwise. Are they thinking like servants or as predators?

That’s why this question is so important.

You see, it is a fact that police have no duty to protect individuals from the criminal acts of others. This means that you can’t expect police to come and rescue you in an exclusive reliance on them to the exclusion of yourself from the equation. They simply cannot legally or morally take your place as the first line of defense for your safety. Congress really ought to know that already. If any someone nominee fails to understand this, they are likely to rule against 2A in error, which will then affect adversely the entire nation.

The idea of 2A is that the armed citizen discredits predatory polices which tyrannize Americans by abuses of process backed by the force of law as if there were no such thing as citizen authority and the armed citizen.

This is predatory against sovereignty, it usurps authority, it hides knowledge, it destroys the spirit of freedom, and it kills independence.

It just plain kills.

Someone on the Committee, please ask the question.
