The Second Amendment

Hey, All. Just stopping by to share an e-mail I sent earlier today to Richard Fitzpatrick, President/CEO and Founder of Magpul Industries. Here it is:


March 25, 2013
Richard Fitzpatrick
President/CEO - Founder
Magpul Industries

Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
I would like to thank and commend you for the stand that youand Magpul Industries have taken in support of the Second and FourteenthAmendments to the United States Constitution.

As a life-long resident of Massachusetts, I have often feltout-numbered and surrounded by voters who continue to elect and re-elect stateand federal executive officers and legislators who have forgotten why the"shot heard 'round the world" was fired in our Commonwealth 238 yearsago. Intellectually honest students ofhistory clearly understand that the type of government that our foundingfathers warned us about has arrived in its infancy stages. At no point in our nation's history has theSecond Amendment been more important than it is today.

I am optimistic that we - the American citizens, law enforcement officers, and elected officials who have not fallen for the socialist-progressive propaganda of a disingenuous president and his elected and appointed anti-Constitution cronies - will ultimately prevail in our efforts to protect and preserve our Constitution and its unambiguous restatement of the freedoms and liberties bestowed on us, not by government,but as a birthright from God. I sense the beginnings of a shift in the political climate - even in liberal Massachusetts - as the people slowly awaken to the fact that Ayn Rand was correct when she wrote, "We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases,while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."

Your leadership and commitment to the preservation of thosefreedoms that have made our nation a unique and singular beacon of liberty forthe past two centuries is recognized, respected, and applauded by those of uswho share your principles and patriotism.

Respectfully,

Kenneth S. Mello,
Attorney at Law

Hmmm. I see that the "copy and paste" here still has a few glitches..... :whistling:

So you mean you did put spaces where spaces were supposed to go?

Good to hear from you my friend.

And I tried to edit TWICE to get the spaces back. No luck! Always a pleasure to "see" you, Crash!

I'm no legal secretary, but the spacing should be better now.

You are correct, sir. You are NOT a legal secretary. However, it's much better. Thanks!

Ken, you need to show up more often just to keep some people in line. You're our favorite ambulance chaser!....:whistling:....:creepy:

I always like to say that "there is someone for everyone".

Ken, try pasting it into a text document, like notebook, and then copy and paste to the website. If you pasted directly from word, it will have some dangling code attached. Good to hear from you as well.

2D asked her when she had a weak moment.

But she's been hanging around the house even after she sobered up.

If you can, copy the text and not the font (which I'm guessing you've done here). This usually resolves 99% of all problems with text.

By the way, you're in RI/MA? Fancy that, I'm in Cranston, RI :) .

"If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally…you might live in a country run by idiots…

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion…you might live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote on who runs the government…you might live in a country run by idiots…

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt…you might live in a country run by idiots…

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat…you might live in a country run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable…you might live in a country run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more…you might live in a country run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized..."

So true, reb!
What's more depressing is, it's still the best system on the planet. When I start thinking about where I could conceivably go if I could go anywhere, I always come back to the same conclusion:
“There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be fixed by what is right with America.” (Bill Clinton)

If it were not for our Second Ammendment rights I would have left the U.S. long ago.

Once they are gone there are other places to spend my money and pay my taxes.

Here is another Bill Clinton quote.

"If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the Government's ability to govern the People, we should look to limit those guarantees." President William J. Clinton, 08-12-1993.

S.M.

There's absolutely nothing I liked about him or his wife but the particular line of his I quoted did resonate with me. "America" is more than the government we elect...it's all of us, and I have always had faith that we can do anything we set our mind to.

How are ya', Winnie! :D

Thanks for the posting tip! I'm sure I'll screw it up, but I do appreciate it!
