Constitutional Trashing

The below letter to the editor is by Robert "Bob" McDowell, Jr. He is a Professional Engineer and Geologist with over 50 years experience in creating drilling prospects, supervising drilling, well completion, production operation, and pipeline design for oil and gas including repair of problem wells. McDowell is a conservative and active in the Oklahoma Republican Assembly.

Bob McDowell
By Bob McDowell: Well, President Obama did not wait even until his re-inauguration to begin his destruction of the capability of the citizens of the USA to defend themselves from a want-to-be dictatorship government, with him the dictator. He has clearly laid out his agenda for the complete disarming of the population under the guise of 'protecting the innocent in schools and theaters.' This course of action was no surprise to those of us who have watched his conduct for the last four years of his first term of office. His rhetoric and conduct have telegraphed that his agenda is the subjugation of the citizens so that he could assume complete power, to the degradation of the national defense and well being of the population.

It is remembered from the words of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, as well as the large number of documents named the "Federalist Papers" that the entire purpose of the Constitution was to provide, secure, and protect those GOD given rights that were enumerated and alluded to in the Declaration. The words state that "among those are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". That clearly means that there are a number of others, perhaps many, that are implied but not enumerated. Those who would grab dictatorial power for themselves and their followers continually seek to ignore and mislead others about them.

Actually, our freedoms and rights have been eroded in the years since 1933 when the administration of F. D. Roosevelt (FDR) was inaugurated in March to the point that we have less than were enjoyed by the subjects of Imperial Rome during the time that Jesus of Nazareth was walking on Earth. One of the principals of the Israelites as a nation and religion was the right to property. Property could not even be sold in perpetuity, but reverted to the original family in what was called the "year of the jubilee" when all debts were written off, all sales of real property were reversed, and those who had sold themselves into slavery were freed.

Back to the announced 'executive orders' that, if successful, would serve to give to the administration total "regulation" over all firearms. This in total ignoring of the words, and intent, of the Second Amendment, which guarantees the "right to keep and bear arms". The bright spot seems to be the almost nationwide rush of citizens to acquire more, or the first, firearms. Media, and acquaintances of mine, confirm that the shelves in stores where guns are sold are completely, or very nearly so, devoid of guns and the ammunition to use in them.

From this it would appear that the people are finally waking up to what has been going on. One hopes that it would not be too late to reverse the plunge into slavery. Here in Oklahoma there have been a number of bills introduced into the Legislature for the upcoming session beginning on February 4 and to adjourn no later than May 31 that would serve to nullify the orders issued.

Some even would correct unconstitutional provisions of the Concealed Carry and Open Carry laws passed earlier. The Concealed Carry law passed a number of years ago carried a provision that any gun carried in a vehicle had to be unloaded, locked in the trunk with the ammunition locked in another location in the vehicle. That would provide a lot of protection in the event of being accosted by a criminal or choosing to go to the assistance of an officer in trouble with criminal elements. The Open Carry law passed in the 2012 session allows open carry ONLY by those possessing a concealed carry permit. Both provisions, in my opinion, are in blatant violation of the Second Amendment. Hopefully corrections will pass into law this year.

We should remember that the Amendment was installed to allow the citizens to protect themselves from a wayward government and vote out those who oppose it.
