Gov. Pritzker Signs Legislation Banning Assault Weapons and Sale of High-Capacity Magazines https://www.illinois.gov/news/press-release.25890.html

In America “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” – these unalienable rights are human rights. There is one human race, and humans are created in the image of God the Creator. Since humans bear the image of God they belong to God. They do not bear the image of Caesar (i.e. the State or government) and therefore do not belong to Caesar.
“John Quincy Adams echoed this, avowing that man’s inalienable rights are those “given him by his Creator,” which can neither be taken from him by force nor transferred from him to anyone else; “hence the rights derived . .. are declared to be inalienable.” In short, inalienable rights are God-given rights that belong to each and every individual, period… The Second Amendment’s “right to keep and bear arms” is the constitutional embodiment of the Biblical right of self-defense found in Exodus 22 (and other passages) [Gen. 14:14, Nehemiah 4, etc…] – another of the many American rights rooted in Biblical teachings.” The Founders’ Bible, 2012, Shiloh Road Publishers

Never Again!
“For 70 years, the slogan “Never again” has been the post-Holocaust rallying cry of Jews everywhere. It is a solemn vow that millions of Jews will never again be disarmed and defenselessly marched into camps for systematic liquidation because we can resist with the same powerful firearms we might face in the hands of totalitarian government. That progressives would take this vow, turn it upside down, and use it to grab guns is an abomination… Disarming law-abiding citizens and concentrating firearms in government hands is fundamentally wrong and disastrous. Our Founders understood this, these students do not. Freedom hangs on these truths.” https://www.jewishaz.com/opinion/never-again-belongs-to-the-holocaust-not-to-the-movement/article_244c47fa-8542-11e8-a7cb-4bb851136f69.html
American Constitution
AMENDMENT II
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.
Militia: an army composed of citizens… called up in time of emergency. (Webster’s 2010)
There are four places in the American Constitution that affirm the Militia’s prior existence, and no law can alter it. The militia is all able bodied members of a community.
Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15 & 16:
[The Congress shall have Power To…]
Clause 15: [ ] “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;”
Clause 16: [ ] “To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;”
Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:
“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States…”
AMENDMENT II
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.
From the Founders… Original Intent
“[T]he said Constitution [should] be never construed … to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.”
SAMUEL ADAMS, Signer of the Declaration, “Father of the American Revolution” …
“A free people ought … to be armed.”
GEORGE WASHINGTON, US. President, Signer of the Constitution …
“[N]o man should scruple or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense.”
GEORGE WASHINGTON, US. President, Signer of the Constitution …
“The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them…. This is a principle which secures religious liberty most firmly.”
ZECHARIAH JOHNSTON, Revolutionary Soldier, Virginia Legislator, Ratifier of the U.S. Constitution
“I am thus far a Quaker [a pacifist]: I would gladly agree with all the world to lay aside the use of arms and settle matters by negotiation; but unless the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my musket and thank Heaven He has put it in my power.
THOMAS PAINE, Patriot, Author
Quotes from “The Second Amendment” by David Barton
Fear God, Make disciples, Protect your family!
“When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he assembled his 318 trained men, born in his household, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.” Genesis 14:14 CSB
“The right to life is a good example of what legal historians refer to as an objective right: it is objective in the sense that it exists outside ourselves and is unalienable… The right to life imposes obligations: you must do everything in your power to preserve it.”
