Basis of Our Country’s Founding

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.
