GUN CONTROL HITTING THE TARGET Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. FORMS OF CONSENT 1. I voted on the law. 2. My elected representatives voted for the law, and I chose to go along. POINT: For my consent to be voluntary and meaningful, I must have the actual ability to effectively resist. DEAD WHITE MEN AND THE POWER OF THE PAST; THE DILEMMA OF CONSENT 1. It was impossible for me either to consent to, or elect representatives to consent to laws made before my birth. 2. Since, I neither assented to such laws, nor consented to them, it is tyranny to require my obedience to them now. THE SECOND AMENDMENT SOLUTION Citizens, not under disabilities, have the right to possess arms capable of making war and can actually engage in effective armed rebellion. When they choose not to do so they give their consent to the existing laws of society. Absent the ability to engage in effective revolt, all law is imposed without the consent of the governed. By definition, however benign, such laws are unjust and immoral. CONCLUSION THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE RESTRICTION OF SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS. SUPPORT TYRANNY.
