THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS - R E P O R T - OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION - OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY - UNITED STATES SENATE - NINETY-SEVENTH CONGRESS - SECOND SESSION - eagle crest FEBRUARY 1982

"... the history of the controversy over the right to keep and bear arms. Utilizing the research capabilities (p.VIII) of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, the resources of the Library of Congress, and the assistance of constitutional scholars ... the subcommittee has managed to uncover information on the right to keep and bear arms which documents quite clearly its status as a major individual right of American citizens. ... We did not speculate as to the intent of the framers of the second amendment; we examined James Madison's drafts for it, his handwritten outlines of speeches upon the Bill of Rights, and discussions of the second amendment by early scholars who were personal friends of Madison, Jefferson, and Washington and wrote while these still lived. What the Subcommittee on the Constitution uncovered was clear--and long-lost--proof that the second amendment to our Constitution was intended as an individual right of the American citizen to keep and carry arms in a peaceful manner, for protection of himself, his family, and his freedoms. The summary of our research and findings forms the first portion of this report. ...

... the uniqueness of our free institutions, the fact that an American citizen can boast freedoms unknown in any other land, is all the more reason to resist any erosion of our individual rights. When our ancestors forged a land 'conceived in liberty', they did so with musket and rifle. When they reacted to attempts to dissolve their free institutions, and established their identity as a free nation, they did so as a nation of armed freemen. When they sought to record forever a guarantee of their rights, they devoted one full amendment out of ten to nothing but the protection of their right to keep and bear arms against government interference. Under my chairmanship the Subcommittee on the Constitution will concern itself with a proper recognition of, and respect for, this right most valued by free men."

Chairman,

Also: History -
"... The colonists felt they had an absolute right at common law to own firearms.

Together with freedom of the press, the right to keep and bear arms became one of the individual rights most prized by the colonists. ...

... The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner."

My opinion is that this false flag event was designed from the beginning to get this legislation rushed through.

Someone had this all ready to drop in the hopper.

Just my opinion. Draw your own conclusions.
