2nd Amendment Needed After Charlie Hebdo Shootings

Everyone in France should be up in arms; literally up and with firearms in their possession. I’m not talking about police and military, I am talking about the citizens of France, the people of France. After the recent shooting at the French weekly Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper with a history of bashing Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, where two gunmen appearing to be part of a radical Islamic terrorist group killed twelve, it is clearly evident something needs to change in France moving forward. What that change will be, I do not know, but what the change should be is the legalization of people defending themselves in any way they see fit, starting with owning and bearing firearms or more simply known as guns.

The government of France, or any other government across the globe, does not own its citizens. They are not slaves and we are not slaves. We do not need more military or militarized police patrolling the streets of the world; we need a consensus supporting the unalienable rights of humans to protect their selves. If the military can walk down the streets that the citizens paid for, the citizens should be able to do the same, peacefully armed and not brandishing, without being imprisoned or shot with the weapons they paid for. That should be the standard.

We own the governments; the governments do not own us. Government does not have the monopoly use of force. The government does not have the moral high ground. Governments are funded by the citizens; average human beings that work and produce. Not the other way around. These are not outrageous or radical statements; they are true. The people of France need weapons to defend themselves. This is the only solution. Having global summits to fight worldwide extremism will not help unless that summit encourages the participating nations to allow arming of their citizens, not encouraging a more vicious surveillance and police state that did not and will not keep people safe. In the United States we have something called the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The right to self-defense is given to us by our creator, not by the Constitution, and especially not by the government. The Constitution just puts on paper what our natural rights already are as human beings. Governments cannot take that away. The citizens of France need to recognize that the only things that can keep them safe are themselves. An armed society is a polite society that discourages criminals from shooting innocent people at will. We have already seen what happens when citizens are not allowed to be armed. It is called the Charlie Hebdo shooting.
