Maybe the Mind Controllers of Denver have made Denver into an entity separate from the United States and therefore Denver does not fall under the Constitution of the USA? It's possible. The people are so ignore-ant... so pacified by football and legal pot and booze...that we have collectively agreed that there is no open carry in Denver.
Not that my inherent RIGHTS can be taken... however...
I am of the experience that an armed public is a polite public. Once I became a gun-owner, I became much more polite myself, because, I had the capacity to take a life, and thus, I became more calm in my be-ing. The stakes are higher.
The State has done their very best to separate humans from our Animal brothers and sisters, as part of the occultation of Natural Law. On this earth, animals prove that we have the right to be armed.
We are animals. We come from this earth. As much as I do not feel like I am an animal, I know that I am. I believe I was tampered with in the ancient past and now I am not able to adapt to the earth's natural environment, hence I live in a city and I am encouraged to identify soley with my ego, my left-brain, and as such to deny my Animal-Earth-Self.
It is hard for me to relate to Nature, living in the city, but if I consider Nature and consider Natural Law, it makes sense. Animals can protect themselves. Take the rattlesnake. the rattlesnake proves that I have the Right to be left alone. That is my first and most important right. The right to privacy. The rattlesnake does not seek out to harm others, except it's prey, but if it is encroached upon, it has a warning rattle and it has fangs and venom.
I do not have fangs and venom but I do have a gun and bullets.
Encroachment, by the incremental Fabian Socialist State is infringing my Rights.
My family of origin are those neo liberals who believe people are beyond needing the 2nd Amendment. They believe we have evolved to a higher consciousness beyond the need to defend our freedoms.
If that is so, then I guess the police and military don't need them either. I will not give up my gun, just as a rattlesnake does not shed it's fangs and venom because a rattlesnake has not evolved past needing to stake it's claim of it's right to be FREE. I will not fall prey to the illusion of "civilization" put forth by city-living.
The bottom line is, however that the 2nd Amendment is 27 words. Words, if gone ignored cannot stand up for themselves. They require PEOPLE to stand up for them. And the Natural Law Freedoms, when stood for, enact the FORCE of the entire Universe.
