The founding fathers left you lots of rights but only one duty. Do you know what it is?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The founding fathers left you lots of rights but only one duty. Do you know what it is?

You won't find your duty in the Constitution.

It's in the Declaration of Independence.

The founding fathers left us a duty to never allow our children to become disarmed slaves.

This duty implies we have a duty to possess the means to do this.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

I don't understand why we don't hear this used in the argument over gun control.

When some libtard asks why you need an AR15 just tell them because the founding fathers said you have a duty to own one.

Then ask the libtard why he has not fulfilled his duty left to him by the men they gave him freedom.

Screw the 2nd amendment interpretation BS.

Your duty is spelled out right in the Declaration of Independence.

It goes with the whole history repeats itself. It's comming around to that time that we need to bitch slap our govt.

Problem is how do we do that without getting dead? I know brave men fought before us and died. The last of its kind was the Civil War and it did not end well.

In the warped liberal's mind "it is their duty, to throw off such Government" would simply mean to vote them out. They would argue it has nothing to do with firearms or violence.

Aye. The founding fathers were made of sterner stuff than Pajama Boy is today, though.

I guess the word to argue is THROW. What does that word mean. We need a committee.

Does anyone know why they sometimes capitalize seemingly random words?

Rebellion.....never going to happen.

Too many FSA members and special snowflakes in the Republic.

That looks like it is written in lawyer-speak as it is almost unreadable and can be interpreted in several different ways.

If the Founding Fathers had written the Constitution in plain language that clearly defined our rights and government limitations there may not have been so many Supreme Court challenges to it nor so many laws enacted limiting it.

I don't think it was written in "lawyer speak". Rather, I think it was written by men that were under the assumption that we as Americans would become more eloquent in our use of the English language as time progressed. Youknowaddamsayindawg?

Those documents are written in plain language; the public school system simply quit teaching the use and understanding of plain language.
