A sure sign of an ignorant and untrustworthy leader is rushed policy. Backdoor politics seems to be the way of the future, especially when it comes to the issue of our second amendment rights.

I don't claim to be an expert on politics, nor do I choose to involve myself in the lifestyle. A country bumpkin like myself has no place in the world of smoke and mirrors. What role could a bunch of hillbillies, like myself, play in this wild world of idiocrasy? Surely a bunch of gun toting, tobacco spitting, God loving people play no role in the protection of a free state. A group like that is easily steamrolled by policy and duped by political types with superior intelligence. That's what the socialist leaders of our state and country would like to believe. The fact is, to us rednecks, Them there is fightin’ words! I've yet to find a single gun owner that doesn't feel the same. This is our opinion not just my opinion.

We live in New York, which is known as the Empire State. We bumpkins recognize it as the “subjugated state.” With a dictator such as Cuomo at the helm, what do you expect us to see? I understand that it is surprising to such intelligent leaders, that us dummies are able to see through the lies. It seems pretty ironic, that many of the country boys I know, can recite the second amendment. Yet our congressmen, seems to have lost his copy, or never read it in the first place. What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not get? It's crazy that people get caught up in the interpretation of old world language and use it as an argument.

Most would agree, that as time passes, many things change. Language being one of them, and the arms carried another. It's obvious, our forefathers, in the writing of the constitution, were referring to the relevant military weapons of the time. When they stated that a militia was necessary to the protection of the free state, they could never have envisioned the changes in weaponry. This line in the second amendment was directed at a government that would choose to take the power from the people. It's easy to understand, even for a hick from the sticks like myself. They were referring to the people having access to all arms that our government or military would possess. This would give the people the ability to protect themselves from tyrannical dictators.
