Senator Marco Rubio sent me an email yesterday detailing his response to the recent killing of innocent lives within our borders by fellow Americans.
The following is my response to him and the junior Senator.
Was our country founded on the belief that:
A. “To secure [certain unalienable Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,] Governments are instituted
among [the People], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
or
B. “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not
be infringed [… being necessary to the security of a free State by a well
regulated Militia]?”
I trust that you are familiar with history are you not?
Then you know that America was founded because we have
unalienable rights endowed by our creator whereas our second form of government
granted the Bill of Rights from which you selectively quote in your form letter
in your response to recent murders from the ill use of weaponry (aka firearms,
guns, etc…).
Our founding fathers believed, as so do I, that “whenever
any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (i.e. our unalienable
rights), it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”
Yet, your stance indicates that you believe it is acceptable
that a certain number of people are expected to die annually so anybody can
obtain a gun without:
1. Demonstrating
respect for everyone else’s unalienable rights and
2. That
they are of sound mind.
Your actions and words are the antithesis of our founding
principles and either:
1. Blasphemous if you believe in God or
2. Disgusting and just shameful if you do not believe in
God.
Furthermore, your choice, use and not use of certain words
indicate that you do not truly understand our Constitution. You feel it is right to lob off the
prefatory clause of The Second Amendment (2A) just like five (5) Supreme Court
Justices did so to effectively re-write 2A, which I contend was to appease
special interest. If people want
to alter the Constitution then you should implement procedures spelled out in
Article Five.
