2nd ammendment, civil rights day, guns, martin luther king, RKBA

It’s civil rights day 2011, 1/17/2011. Some call this Martin Luther King day. That’s OK. As a government worker I have a paid day off today – thanks MLK!

Here’s a video of Allen B. West, a retired military officer and a black man, speaking about how our Right to Keep and Bear arms is the right that protects all our other civil rights. He gives historical examples of nations where enslavement followed gun confiscation.

January 18, 2010 is MLK Day or Civil Rights Day as it’s known in Az. We government workers have a holiday on that day. Thanks MLK! I like holidays!  Since we are commemorating persons who affected US history, there’s a great American who’s birthday is this week too. General Robert E. Lee. Let’s not forget him, even if he is a white guy whom has a birthday close to MLK’s. Did you know that Lincoln asked Gen. Lee to lead the Union Army against the Confederacy and Lee refused on moral grounds? How often does that happen?

My workplace is closed on Jan. 20th for Civil Rights Day.  This became a holiday in 1992 in AZ, after a boycott was launched against tourism in AZ over the our choice not to have a Martin Luther King Day holiday. The NFL moved the 1993 Super Bowl site from Phoenix, Ariz., to Pasadena, Calif., because of the MLK Day boycott.

I am all for Civil Rights, especially the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RBKA). This right is embodied in the Second Amendment to the US Constitution and is the right that guarantees all of the others.

“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.”

And the Constitution does not grant us this, or any other right. It states these right are granted by our Creator and the Federal government established by the Constitution may not infringe upon them.

Civil Rights day this year is celebrated on the birthday of a great America, Robert E. Lee who was born on this date in 1807. Happy Birthday, General Lee!

The link below is to a YouTube video which cuts back and forth between speeches of MLK and Ron Paul. It’s a few minutes long and definitely worth watching.

RP and MLK

Don’t forget this month’s Ron Paul Money Bomb is on MLK Day 1/21/2008
