The Founders’ fears have been realized. State governments locked down entire populations, silenced First Amendment rights, and mandated experimental injections—while waving in millions across open borders without the same demands. That there was no armed resistance is a chilling sign of how quietly Americans have surrendered their most basic rights—and abandoned their duty to defend liberty.
Thirty-three states have what are called open carry laws, which allow persons to carry unconcealed weapons in public — for example, holstered pistols or rifles. Yet, as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas points out, the Second Amendment is treated as an inferior right. In some states, the carrying of a gun puts one at risk of imprisonment. Why are such restrictions allowed?
The state Constitution of Maine is unambiguous about it. Maine Constitution, Art. I, §16: To keep and bear arms. “Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned.”
One might ask, how can it be illegal in any state to openly carry firearms? Broadswords? Battleaxes? No, I am not being facetious.
Ask any person of the politically leftist persuasion, and he will tell you that if everyone can walk around with a gun in his belt, then every minor confrontation could result in murder and mayhem. Lunatics would commit massacres wherever crowds convene. People under the influence of alcohol or drugs would become crime scenes waiting to happen.
