Tenche Cox, Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress, twice
explained the purpose of the Second Amendment to his fellow citizens, first
writing in The Pennsylvania Gazette, on Feb. 20, 1788.
The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their
arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and
irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared,
then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress
have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every other terrible
implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American … the unlimited
power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state
governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.
He wrote again a year-and-a-half later:
As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may
attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally
raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of
their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.
Most do not understand how long this game has been played.
Throughout centuries, the same behavior has occurred from the same creed, with each rendition, societies have been pushed to the brink as they hold on to excuses and pity the very people that usher in perversion, lies, and deception in their culture.
So terrible.
The Irish Citizen has reportedly died from his injuries.

Indian doctor won a “genius” visa to America, shared millions in grants, and boasted of membership in the prestigious Royal College of Physicians. Turns out, all of his accomplishments, degrees, etc, were all FAKE. https://t.co/56chfRUCtR
New York distillers poisoned thousands of infants with filthy milk. The politicians paid to stop them took bribes instead. Then the government drew the wrong lesson. It treated the symptom, protected the system, and taught Americans that the cow was the problem. She was not. 🧵
