Yesterday marked the anniversary of a great victory on American soil. June 26th 1876 General George Armstrong Custer an American soldier and his entire Calvary were completely annihilated by the Sioux, Cheyenne and other Native plain tribes who stood fearlessly protecting their families. They fought tirelessly for hours defending their homeland enriched with clean running rivers and Buffalo roaming as far as the eye could see.
Today's society concerns itself with the issue of assault rifles and mass shootings, the largest being at Wounded knee when nearly three hundred women, children and men were massacred by American soldiers. It's definitely happened throughout history, and not only does history repeat itself but karma chooses no favorites, it just comes right back like a boomerang effect.
"The Constitution of the United States was originally written in Indian law, the problem is it has been raped so many times that today's society has difficulty actually making sense of it."- Russell Means, Oglala Lakota.
Walk into a Museum and you can see the Preamble framed and hung beautifully on a wall but it has become an icon rather than a solid firm way of living in today's world. Insuring domestic tranquility requires discipline in a self gratifying society.
The second Amendment is not the issue when it comes to owning an assault rifle, it is the consciousness of a gun owner.
There has been so much time and energy placed in distorting the principals of actually owning a gun with inventions of video games, violent movies and idolizing the military that the values originally written for the people have become scarce much like our American Indian people. If the original morals of the Constitution were still alive today or even in the old west there would be no need for an assault rifle. There would be no consciousness to support that way of thinking.
