Many people don’t understand that people have rights and governments have powers.

It should be obvious, especially now, why they want to take your guns. Do you wish to be enslaved or told who you must let your teenage daughter hang out with in the high school bathroom?
Are you ready?

The Constitution delegates limited powers to government, powers granted it by the People, powers they may revoke when government exceeds its limits.
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Democrats—these days Islamists and Communists—feign outrage when this historic, well-documented intention of the Founders is mentioned. To paraphrase Shakespeare, methinks they doth protest too much, for only a government which intends to become totalitarian need fear armed citizens, which is why they Democrats never stop trying to disarm Americans.
Are you ready?

I laugh when I see cop videos and cops say “I have the right…”.
Ummm, no. You are an agent of the government. The government doesn’t have rights. You may have authority under the government to perform actions, but you have zero rights with that uniform on in an official capacity.
To your point, the government didn’t grant you the rights you have. They are unalienable and granted by God. Therefore they can’t take them, they aren’t theirs to take. They can try but they are yours, “if you can keep them”.

When government fears the people there is liberty, when people fear government there is tyranny

Only the US believes this though. The British govt doesn't believe in God given rights..

This is what made our Constitution so remarkable. It’s the first document to state our rights come from God and not other men.
The Constitution is a document outlining our rights that the government cannot impede on.

The ONLY power a government has is that power granted to it by the governed.
Our founders knew this, and that’s why we have the 2nd amendment.
