1.       The situation in my article is when a man that is an employee for Kroger shoots another man as he is trying to rob the store. This is a great example of how the 2nd amendment can be used to keep our nation strong and safe. It also is stating how this situation is going to affect the coming up vote on a bill that would allow licensed gun holder to carry on college campuses.

2.       No final word has been given as to if he will be fired or not but as Kroger’s store laws for their employees prohibits guns in a work environment he will probably be fired. The fact of the matter is they would be in a situation where people say they wouldn’t support Kroger if they kept him on staff and others saying if they fire him they will never come back at Kroger’s again.

3.       This would be an article on the second amendment that allows people the right to bear arms. Essentially this amendment gives us as US citizens the right to carry guns for the safety of us and others around us.

4.       We see that this guy’s rights have been violated due to the fact he might be fired because of him carrying a gun into his work place and using for safety precautions. Now while that is a violation of our rights he was violating the rules and regulations of his work so in a way he did break rules. I still see it as being bad that they would even consider firing him because not only did he save lives but he also saved the stores money.

5.       I disagree with the ruling if they were to fire him because he is using his rights for the use they were intended. The founders didn’t just make up this stuff they had legit reasons for why they would add such things into the government they were creating. All they wanted was everybody to have the right materials to keep them safe and not scared to go out into society.

6.       Yes, because the Supreme Court is used to protect these rights and as citizens if we are punished for using our rights we then have another right in which we can use to sue or otherwise counteract to their ruling. As the Supreme Court they are put there to protect our rights as citizens and we should use them whenever we feel as if we have be denied or punished for the use of our rights.

7.       The Bill of Rights isn’t totally clear on everything because they didn’t take the time to add every right we have into the document but that is why we have the 9th amendment which is where we have rights that aren’t even stated. Now while people start thinking ok I can just make up a right that is then not true do to the fact we have to limit the extent in which we allow the 9th to go to. That is what the Supreme Court is there to do because they are there as Constitution wizzes.

8.       The Antifederalists would disagree if he got fired because they believe the power should be with the people and if they were to take that right away they will see it as overpowering and overusing their abilities. So they would disagree if any of the 10 amendments were to be denied to a person on a state because they fought vigorously to get a Bill of Rights and if they knew it wasn’t working the way they wanted they would be mad.

It is important for all of us to realize that there are universal truths that transcend the relevance of time. Our forefathers, the authors of the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights designed these guidelines as a result of first hand experience with tyranny. That tyranny resulted from King George’s government of Great Britain. The citizens of the 13 colonies felt the full pressure of big invasive government, taxation with representation, and over regulation. These people were well acquainted with oppression. They knew the face of the enemy.

That enemy looked like them, claimed to hold the same beliefs, and expressed that they had the best interests of the citizens in mind, but that was far from being true. The Royal Crown had absolutely no intention of allowing personal freedoms, reasonable taxation, or restraining government influence in society and private business. There were loyalists, those who sided with the British, and there were true Americans who wanted independence, freedom from big government, and the right to seek personal happiness.

As much as King George resented granting freedom to the 13 Colonies, he was advised by his legal staff that the colonists were well within their legal rights and well represented by their lawyers. In fact, King George’s government, on the verge of  declaring war upon the 13 Colonies in order to maintain control over them, gave the colonists more respect than the Obama Administration gave our Constitution as well as the people of the US over the last 20 months.

 Obama’s assault on American heritage and everything it implies has been relentless, deceptive, and intent upon dissolving all free enterprise, free will among the people, and their collective sense of independence. This Obama has done by building a gigantic government bureaucracy with a runaway budget deficit, that solves every crisis by promoting dependency upon federal leverage and the unnecessary expenditures that come with it.

Does the past reflect itself upon today’s events? Surely you can see the parallel. Everything that our forefathers foresaw when they ingeniously contrived the great documents of independence and freedom is now being proclaimed as obsolete and subject to reinterpretation by such progressives as Cass Sunstein, one of Obama’s appointed Czars. This Harvard professor thinks that the US Constitution is a product of another time and a different political atmosphere, but that is typical of those who want to control the masses. Managing people and their lives like a herd of cattle is exactly what liberals, socialists, and progressives have been advocating ever since the birth of our nation. They have presented themselves in several incarnations over the decades such as the Federal Reserve, Communists, Fascists, Labor Unions, Progressive Educators, and all the other charlatans who seek to undermine our republic.

What do we now share in common with our ancestors who had the audacity to resist the most powerful army on the face of the earth commanded by the most power hungry monarch in the western world? My fellow countrymen, our entire way of life is at stake. Those who cannot stand the concept of individual liberties, who hate the idea of a society unhindered by big government, who feel that all aspects of people’s lives must be regulated, are mindlessly at work. Fueled by the flawed vision of Marxism, and the intellectualized rationalization of modern progressives who consider themselves above such outdated beliefs as God and moral absolutes, the disinformation continues.

Like termites they continually advance their dialectic of social enslavement beneath an omnipotent state that crushes individual creativity and ambition.  As everyone submits to never ending authority, as a result of the unrelenting indoctrination in public school systems, by our mass media who repeats everything dictated to it by the federal government, we find that our freedom of choice is evaporating. Americans who have become complacent and have neglected their responsibility to monitor government and vote, have slept at the wheel for too long and allowed liars to corrupt our great system.  We have trusted the opportunists and power mongers to oversee our beloved country as we went about our self centered preoccupations.

There is an old saying, “ in order to become your master you were first approached by a servant.” Do entitlement programs such as Welfare, Medicaid, Stimulus Bills, and Immigration Amnesty not promote dependence and unaccountable behavior? For everything the government says that it grants or gives to one faction, they tax and remove from another segment of society. Those who work hard and exercise ambition will inevitably be victimized by the false equality forced upon the masses by a liberal government.

Just as in the early days of the fledgling republic called The United States of America, we now find ourselves at a historic crossroads that cannot be ignored. Whether our aspirations of preserving the ideals of our forefathers so that our republic survives modern indifference or crumbles under selfish and demanding abuses of a liberal illusion is up to us. We were warned long ago by Thomas Jefferson. “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance,” our third President of the nation cautioned. How sad it is that so many have rendered themselves deaf to those words of wisdom. The fate of America is now in our hands.

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Okay here is my understanding of this right.

If you commit an offense and it costs more than 20$ to repair or what not (again, this is my understanding, so if I am wrong please comment below and explain to me what I missed.) the accused has the right to a trial by Jury. Any fact presented by the jury can not be re-examined in any other court of the United States, than according to rules of common law.

Okay, I’m a bit lost in this one too. However, I believe this right is saying that a person who is accused of let’s say “burglary” can not be tried in another court for the same crime (If they are tried in another court that infringes upon the 6th right in the bill of rights…).

There is only the one jury (If memory serves correct, juries consist of usually 12 people.) to evaluate the evidence or lack thereof and come to a vote in order to set the criminal free or let the falsely accused criminal go home.

As always these are my own understandings of my rights from the Bill of Rights in America.

Thank you for your time!

Leave a comment below if you wish too.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

Do I really need to explain this? Seriously? Okay. Here is my understanding of this right in the bill of rights, but I feel this should be self-explanatory.

Anyway, when a person is accused of a crime they have the right to a speedy and public trial. This means a person can’t be held for long periods of time in a jail cell before going to his/her trial. The person is also entitled to an impartial jury of the state and district where the crime was committed. This means that if a person was accused of a crime in New York State, the trial has to take place in New York State.

A person accused of a crime is also allowed to cross examine his/her own witnesses and bring in other witnesses. The person also has the right to a lawyer or legal aide to defend him/her in court.

Really, if you need more of an explanation there are plenty of crime shows on tv now that you can watch.

No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

I admit I don’t understand this part of the bill. Not by the full extent of it anyway. I will give you my own interpretation of it, but as always, I admit that I can be wrong.

So in this part of the bill of rights, my understanding is that no soldier, during peace time can occupy a person’s hose without their consent. This is also the case in war time. I’m not sure about what it means when the bill states “… in a manner to be described by law.” I am guessing that means that if the laws say that soldiers can occupy someone’s house in war time they are allowed to do so if that is the law. Once again, my understanding of this part of the bill of rights is very vague to say the least.

I do think that this part of the bill says we should never be ruled under a police state but I’m not sure. I will have to research this more. I know I should already understand it, being an American, but I truly don’t understand this part of the bill of rights fully. If you are able to understand it, please explain it to me.

Thank you for your time!

Bill of Rights, first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The Bill of Rights establishes basic American civil liberties that the government cannot violate. The states ratified the Bill of Rights in 1791, three years after the Constitution was ratified. Originally the Bill of Rights applied only to the federal government, but in a series of 20th-century cases, the Supreme Court decided that most of its provisions apply to the states. Many countries have used the Bill of Rights as a model for defining civil liberties in their constitutions.

II.

RIGHTS PROTECTED

The Bill of Rights includes a wide range of protections with a common theme and purpose—to define the scope of individual freedom in the United States and to make the political system more democratic. They are not the only rights contained in the Constitution. For example, Sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the Constitution prohibit the states and the federal government from passing an ex post facto law—a law that subjects a person to punishment for an act that was not unlawful when committed. But as a group the rights provided in the first ten amendments are the cornerstones of democracy in the United States.

A.

First Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Comment: The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of association and assembly. It also protects the rights of citizens to worship as they please and the right not to be forced to support someone else’s religion. The First Amendment also provides for the right to demand a change in government policies.

B.

Second Amendment

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Comment: Legal scholars disagree about what right is protected by the Second Amendment. Some scholars have concluded that this amendment affirms a broad individual right to gun ownership. Others interpret the amendment as protecting only a narrow right to possess firearms as members of a militia. Supreme Court decisions have not resolved the debate. However, the courts have held that the Second Amendment does not preclude certain government regulations on gun ownership, such as laws prohibiting ownership of firearms by felons.

C.

Third Amendment

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Comment: The Third Amendment forbids the government from quartering soldiers in private residences during peacetime without the resident’s permission, and during wartime only according to law. Under British rule, American colonists were forced to feed and house British soldiers deployed to help enforce colonial tax laws. The colonists resented this practice, and so banned it with this amendment. This amendment has been basically irrelevant since the end of the American Revolution (1775-1783).

D.

Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Comment: The Fourth Amendment prohibits the police and other government officials from searching people’s homes or offices or seizing their property without reasonable grounds to believe that a crime has been committed. In most cases, police can conduct a search of a person’s home or office only after they get a written search warrant from a judge, detailing where they will search and what they expect to find.

E.

Fifth Amendment

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Comment: The Fifth Amendment provides five important protections against arbitrary government actions. First, no one may be prosecuted for a federal crime without first being indicted (formally accused) by a grand jury. Second, a criminal suspect may be prosecuted only once for each crime. If a jury acquits the accused person, there can be no retrial. Third, a person cannot be forced to testify against himself or herself in any criminal case. This is the right against self-incrimination. Fourth, the due process clause bars the government from arbitrarily depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property. Fifth, the government may not take anyone’s private property unless it is necessary for a public

In the U.S. Constitution article III invests the judicial power of the United States in the federal court system. Article III, Section 1 specifically creates the U.S. Supreme Court and gives Congress the authority to create the lower federal courts. (Office of Court Administration • Tom C. Clark Building).

Congress has used the power given to them to establish the 13 U.S. Courts of Appeals, the 94 U.S. District Courts, the U.S. Court of Claims, and the U.S. Court of International Trade. U.S. Bankruptcy Courts handle bankruptcy cases. The Magistrate Judges handle some District Court matters. (Office of Court Administration • Tom C. Clark Building).

When it comes to the State of Texas in this matter the Supreme Court is the court of last resort for most civil and juvenile cases, and the Court of Criminal Appeals is the court of last resort for criminal cases. The Legislature has also created 14 Courts of Appeals and hundreds of district, statutory county, and statutory probate courts, and all this can be read and researched at the following link: http://www.courts.state.tx.us/fedvstatecourt.asp

The link above shows the structure of the Federal Courts and the structure of the Texas Court System. The link divides the structure into three sections. The first being the structure of the systems, the second being the Selection of Judges, and lastly the types of cases heard on both sides.

The most obvious solutions, which are being paid for by the United States Consumer are extending the Postal Regulations incorporating existing laws for the Internet. The wording needs to read as a part of private communications instead of mail communications. Transmissions of copyright material under the FCC can be made similar. Once a movie is transmitted ( transmission is broad ) “in any form” it can be owned by the reader/viewer and it is in the hands of the viewer. From this point forward, it is legally shared material even under copyright. You can’t stop people talking about entertainment. It would be counter productive of entertainment’s first premise.

The laws contra mail rip-offs should be applied to the Internet. The US Postal Service has raised prices to compensate monies for the reduced mail traffic, and they stated their price hikes are because of Internet competition. The laws that support people’s protections under Postal Carriers can be adjusted to customer protection. These laws were generated over an experienced three hundred years. Ben Franklin was the colonial Post Master General in 1775, and the Pony Express started before the Civil War. Laws well thought out from years of experiences came into being, and they have endured through many revisions.

The names have been changed to protect the guilty. Congressman Joe Blow and Congressman Henry Hankerer haven’t any possibility to produce laws that are as good or as exact existing from our history. To cut cost further, law enforcement needs little training and they have experience under existing laws. Millions of dollars can be saved because current training applies. The three hundred years of experience went through the hands of hundreds of government officials rendering current laws to protect the consumers and stifling illegal activities. Give the tools out of the tool chest to the right people. Their is no need to waste money by creating more government growth yeilding a different government.

Free Speech is a guarantee. The Federal Government cannot break the Constitution vagrantly although they make illusive vagueness in their dissertations to reduce the Bill of Rights. One question looms, if you are not given a second chance why are you to giving politicians second chances. Something came from their mouths and they acted opposite. Hold everyone, from your neighbor to your employer, on the same standard. No Second Chances! You got what you got without a second chance, now give equally back, don’t loan your tools, don’t give your vote, and don’t work, if promises are fleeting memories. Your iron is in the fire, now apply it. They may say they didn’t remember or the famous “I’m sorry, I can’t recollect that.” Break the philosophical spiral that may continue until humanity dies. This is not saying take advantage of others nor is it saying not to be charitable. It is saying your are the result, and this result gains you equally.

Responsibility will never be present, if the results don’t come to bear.

Think on it. Make a decision, because abuse is two fold. You must have an abuser and you must have the abused. Most people are not into sadomasochism yet you live it. In slavery there is a slave driver and the slave. The Constitution is the law of the people, and your representatives are to serve you not to be a bloodline of mastery. The Magna Carta (“The Great Charter of the Liberties of England, and of the Liberties of the Forest“) and the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments of The Constitution of the United States of America) were made to protect people from the horror of serfdom and to give the people the ability to say no to government abuse.

The “Bill of Rights has come to a sudden and catastrophic end with the President’s signing of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a law that grants the U.S. military the “legal” right to conduct secret kidnappings of U.S. citizens, followed by indefinite detention, interrogation, torture and even murder. This is all conducted completely outside the protection of law, with no jury, no trial, no legal representation and not even any requirement that the government produce evidence against the accused.” –excerpted from the article

The party is now over. Big Brother has assumed control, and the rest of us will be hard pressed to wrest control over our lives back from them without a fight of some kind. The introductory statement above, alluding to collusion amongst the separate branches of our government, is made clear by the very fact that, for this document to even be considered as legal according to the Constitution, the Judiciary Branch would have to be in tacit and written agreement with the two other parts of our three part system, thereby reneging on their duty to act as a check to the legislative and executive branches, to safeguard our Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

All of the first ten given rights in the Bill of Rights have been declared null and void, without any objection from the judiciary. It seems fairly obvious that this country is now in the hands of people who have no regard for human rights, unless it pertains to their own; anyone who disagrees out loud with their new regulations don’t deserve any rights, in their eyes. And according to this new legislation, foisted on society while it was busy being distracted once again by rhetoric and illusory holiday seasons, anyone who is even suspected of being against these laws may now be kidnapped in the dark of night, with never a word of justification of any sort to anyone; none is now required, there is no oversight at all.

Considering some of what has been written here, and in other places where the author’s work may be found, they will be coming for me very soon….oh excuse me, someone is at the door…. be right back…..

            Americans purchase real guns or airsoft guns for a variety of reasons. Some people use it for recreational purposes, such as hunting or firing at a range. However many Americans own a gun for the reason of self-defense.

Airsoft rifles are made to mimic actual firearms. They use small, hard plastic pellets called BBs as ammo and are made to be non-lethal. However this does not remove the danger of using an airsoft rifle gun because it definitely can injure a person from bruising to teeth damage. These airsoft guns are usually the first experience children and teens have with a gun. Therefore, it is important to educate them on safe and responsible use from the onset.

            Whether the new gun owner is purchasing the gun for recreational use or self-defense, he or she will have to follow important rules to safely store it. Storing a gun is the first part of safety because an unprotected and loaded firearm can find its way into the wrong hands. This could result in serious injury or death. The most important part of gun storage is to store the gun, unloaded in a locked gun safe. Storing the gun for a prolonged time can result in it not operating due to accumulated dirt or moisture. So cleaning the firearm is essential to safety.

            While guns aren’t delicate silverware, they need to be cleaned and maintained properly. When cleaning the barrel, it is vital to make sure the weapon is unloaded since having it going off would cause mishap. Most importantly, you need to know how your gun works and know its basic parts. Being able to tell when there is a defect, such as a crack, with the gun is essential to safe operation. Contacting a gunsmith would be the best way to repair or know what to do about it.

            The right to bear arms is one of the foundations of American society. It is a privilege that is to be earned by responsibility and safe use. Learning about the risks and safety procedures of firearms should be installed in teenagers who will plan on being future gun owners.
