When is enough, enough?

When is enough, enough?

In the United States, a law is presumed to be constitutional until proven otherwise in court. This process can take years, and a lot of money, to wade through the legal system and end up at the Supreme Court. As the challenge proceeds, we are still obligated to obey the law.

We are a nation of laws. When a politician doesn't like something, they seek to make a law prohibiting you from possessing or doing whatever it is that they don't like. Even if it is blatantly unconstitutional. It's easy to do when one party has complete control as well as an agenda.

This has become a habit of politicians on the left that currently control both the federal and our state governments. They don't care about your freedom, your God-given rights or the Constitution. Their feelings are what matter the most and the Constitution be damned. The end justifies the means in their flawed logic.

Politicians that don't like guns, seek to ban them or restrict their use. Violating the 2nd Amendment by infringing on the right to keep and bear arms is justified, in their mind, because we will "feel" safer and we must end gun violence. Nobody "needs" a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds. Because, like the demented speaker at the State of the Union speech stated, "the deer aren't wearing Kevlar vests."

These politicians must have forgotten that the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting. There is no requirement to prove that you "need" anything to exercise any one of your rights. Our rights are granted to us by our creator and the Constitution states that, "...governments are established to protect and maintain individual rights." Politicians swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. Apparently, many have never read it.

Last week, the state legislature pushed through 3 unconstitutional bills that blatantly violate your right to keep and bear arms. But, they did it to keep us safe. No more magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Are you ok with that? Are you ok with their new "law" that prohibits you from carrying a firearm in a meeting area of a governing body? How about the new law that prohibits you from assembling your own firearm? When is enough, enough?

What about other recent unconstitutional mandates or "laws?" Like requiring you to wear something on your face or forcing you to inject an experimental substance into your body just to keep your job. Was that enough? For some people it was.

What about the tyranny in Canada? The government was able to freeze bank accounts of those peacefully protesting the same government. Was that enough? Do you think that can't happen here? Will it be enough when they seize your bank account or your firearms or your property?

We must fight these unjust and immoral laws both politically and legally. But when the branches of our government blatantly disregard the Constitution, it can only mean that our rights and liberties are under attack or that they simply do not exist. Do we just keep obeying unjust and immoral laws that are repugnant to the Constitution? For how long? Until we are all on the train headed for the steam showers? Because a politician made a "law?"

I think Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had "enough" when he stated,

"One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws"

All of us have different thresholds for what is "enough". It is time that we all seriously think about this question. Because our freedom and our liberties are being stripped from us daily by governments around the world who continue create unjust and immoral laws. How long will we sit by and watch? Until the last things we hold dear are gone?

For me? I've had enough!
