As I read the various posts today on whether or not the "No-Fly" list or the "Terror Watch" list should be used as a tool to prevent US Citizens from the purchase of firearms, I became first; appalled, then disgusted and then - finally angry.
I felt those things as I read post after post from AD, RES, RET, VET that actually support it.
Have ALL of you who support this forgotten the oath you took?
Have you forgotten this portion of the oath -
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."
Because it sure looks like it to me.
I think you all need to read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights AGAIN, to refresh your memories.
Right now we have a US Senator, Dianne Feinstein, who suggests you "must prove your innocence" to keep your right to bear arms. What happened to "Innocent, until proven guilty"???
We are seeing an all out attack on the Constitution and The Bill of Rights by "Progressives", Liberals and Democrats under the cover of a crisis. They are ACTIVELY attempting to undermine and subvert the 2nd, 6th, 7th, 8th and 14th Amendments.
Remember we TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, not some political ideology!!

None of us that took the oath can fully perform it as the biggest enemy the Constitution has is our own government.

Actually our Government is the Domestic enemy - that is what I meant by my post - we are unable to fulfill it due to the fact that if we go against the government we are counted as traitors and arrested for treason.

But we also take an oath to the Constitution and I would figure that any order that is contrary to it would be illegal and not have to be followed.
(I've got a lot of free time to think of this stuff now that I have "R" next to my name, LOL).

I totally agree - but that still puts us in the situation of being labeled a traitor when all we would really be doing is keeping the Oath we took. For some reason most people don't seem to think our government can become a domestic enemy; however, when the government does acts against its citizens (i.e. illegal wire taping, patriot act, etc...) it becomes a domestic enemy.
But that is how the New World Order wants it - they have been pushing it since Reagan.

LT Charles Baird I would gladly stand by any other "traitor" whose only crime is fulfilling the oath that they took.
On a side note, politicians take a similar oath:
House and Senate:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
President:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
So these people who are leading attacks on our constitutional rights should all be impeached and kicked out of office as they have violated their oath of office. Problem is when the inmates are running the asylum, nobody pays attention to what is going on.

I not only took that oath but also administered it many times. Our division recruitment officer shared a hootch with me in Vietnam and was rarely around when of his clients showed up to seal the deal. Thus I stood in for him. I counted it as an honor. I don't know what became of all those young men and the oaths they swore but mine never expired. That's why I still fight the good fight and stand with the Constitution. I fight with my words, my stories, and my votes. I would even shed blood if needed. I won't be around much longer anyway, but my children and grandchildren will and I refuse to bequeath them anything less than I was blessed to inherit

To many, the Constitution is a "living document" -- meaning the definitions of words can change over time, so that it really doesn't have to mean what the Founders meant when they wrote it.
If people want to ignore inconvenient parts of the Constitution, it's a whole lot easier to arbitrarily redefine terms they don't like and hope they get a sympathetic judge to agree than it is to actually go through the process of trying to amend the parts of the Constitution they don't like. You know, like the Constitution itself says how it's supposed to be done.

PVT James Strait Actually, there's nothing in the Constitution assigning to the Supreme Court the task of interpreting the Constitution. That's a task the Supreme Court assumed for itself. The Founders never imagined their writings would need to be interpreted, as they were pretty damned clear and careful in their wording.

PVT James Strait I don't mind people thinking parts of the Constitution need to be reconsidered. But there is a constitutionally approved process for that, and arbitrarily reinterpreting and redefining certain words or phrases is not it.
