My Letter to President Obama and My Congressmen

A message from a concerned citizen:
With the threat of a looming "assault weapons" ban on the horizon, I wanted to send a strong, unwavering, and crystal clear message to my elected representatives; I urge you strongly NOT to support ANY form of new gun control laws. We the People will not consent to, nor will we accept as a just or lawful order to relinquish, register, or otherwise sell, alter or destroy our firearms of any type. The political atmosphere of the nation is currently a powder keg, if you will pardon the pun. The assault on our civil liberties to date has been duly noted by many and we have noticed the sizable requisitions for ammunition by the DHS and other government agencies. We have paid attention when tyrannical legislation such as the "indefinite detention" of American citizen provisions were sneaked into the NDAA. We watched in horror as we discovered that our highest elected and appointed officials were caught essentially providing known violent drug cartels with weaponry through Operation Fast and Furious. We know of the pending plans to place a drone fleet in service in the American skies. We have been fondled at airports, our progeny has been saddled with debt that cannot even hope to be repaid, and the only amendment in the Bill of Rights that has not yet been eviscerated as of yet is the 3rd. We have had enough. Enough taxes, enough debt, enough lies, enough war, enough laws and regulations, enough fiscal chicanery and enough of political expediency and corruption.
As America inches closer to the edge of the abyss called Tyranny, it would serve you well to remember the very Constitution you swore an Oath to uphold and protect. Vote against any and all infringements on our right to keep and bear arms, lest you wish to be labelled as treasonous and held accountable to such charges. The rights ENUMERATED in the Bill of Rights aren't rights that were given or granted by any government authority; these rights are unalienable, which is to say that they are not to be separated, given away, or taken away.
Lastly, here are some notable quotes to consider:
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good"
-- George Washington
"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
-- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."
-- Mahatma Gandhi
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
