The Right of the People to keep and bear arms...

Updated: Sep 22, 2022


I don't have much to say about the right to keep and bear arms except that it is absolute, and government has no just cause to infringe on that right. It does not rely on your desire to hunt, your desire to defend your property or your desire to be a ready defense of your community. The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right independent of any justification.


The Idaho Constitution allows for some regulation on the manner and condition under which arms may be carried in public but neither the State Constitution nor the U.S. Constitution give government any just cause to otherwise restrict, forbid or regulate arms and the individual ownership of arms.


All gun control is rooted in either racism or fear of loss of control. The first infringements on the right to bear arms was due to fear of newly freed slaves taking up arms against their former masters, the newest infringements are a reaction to violence by Black Americans in urban settings. The same irrational fear and the same simple-minded thinking have dominated the "gun control" conversation for 176 years! The same people, the same power structure, the same lack of understanding and even care have been slowly eroding our natual right to defense for nearly 2 centuries.


I propose a repeal of all "gun control" laws that restrict your right and choice to keep and bear arms. Idaho is already pretty good in this respect, but we could do better. By declaring Idaho a "sanctuary state" for the 2nd Amendment, we could assert and secure our right by barring our State, County and Local law enforcement agencies from enforcing or citing any and all Federal laws regarding firearms (however they are defined) and sanctioning those that attempt to do so.
