We have the 2nd Amendment for a Reason, You Know, and, This is it.

   If the idea of the Second Amendment is to give us weapons to fight off the federal government should it ever come calling to take our freedoms away . . .
   If this is what the Second Amendment is all about, then what think you of how this loss of freedom is happening -- all across America -- and no one is even calling for the justice and protection of the Second Amendment.
   Do you know of what I speak? No? Then, let me tell you. I speak of a people who hide in the shadows, anxious that the government not find them, worried that the feds will root them out, and arrest them, and toss them in jail, and take their freedoms away.
   What do you think? Should we not arm this group of people? Should we not tell them the Second Amendment was written for them, more than for anyone else? Yes, more than for anyone else. After all, what other people are having their liberties assaulted by the federal government? What other people are being rounded up, and hauled off to prison, simply for standing on American soil?
   I speak of the immigrants, of course. Specifically, I speak of those our government has labeled "illegal immigrants" and "illegal aliens" -- defining them as criminals for no more reason than existing and breathing and living on American soil.
   What do you think? Should we not be encouraging them to go out and get their guns? It is their Second Amendment right, you know.
    Looking back on the history of America, I don't think you will find a better example of the federal government coming and looking for a people, rounding them up, stripping them of their freedoms, and hauling them off to jail. You won't find a more exact instance of this: government arresting people just for living on American soil and breathing American air.
   So, yes, if the Second Amendment is there to protect against freedoms being taken away, it is there for the immigrants, for it is they, more than anyone, who have their freedoms being taken away. It is they, more than anyone, who have their inalienable rights being assaulted by government.
   Isn't this what the Second Amendment is all about? Some would say it is. So, if you are to argue this is what the Second Amendment is all about, do not short the immigrant of its protection.
   What is government tyranny, anyway? Isn't it when government is oppressive, and harsh, and unjust? What is more oppressive, and harsh, and unjust, and tyrannical than this? These people are "illegal" for simply being on our streets! You call that justice? I call it tyranny.
   If tyranny is when you take away their freedoms simply because you can -- simply because you are the authority, you are the government, and you have the power -- then isn't this tyranny?
  You would suppose that since these people were not born here, they have no right to come unless we give them that right. But, consider: If tyranny is when you assert they have no rights because you have not issued them any rights, then isn't this -- of all things -- tyranny? Freedom does not come by government issue; it is inalienable.
   So, I say, give them all the guns they need to protect themselves from our government's tyranny. Preach up the Second Amendment. Inform them of their rights. Tell them to be patriots. Let them know that this is America, and that in America, they don't need to succumb to tyranny, they don't need to be herded away like sheep.
   We have the Second Amendment for a reason, you know. And, this is it.
