Part 3 Thanksgiving and Fi****ms!

Thanksgiving is a time that we all give thanks to God for His many blessings including our material blessing, for ourselves, our Families and our country. George Washington, the Father of our country stated,

"Fi****ms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the people's liberties Teeth".

Some reading this article may wonder what relevance is this to Thanksgiving. For patriots, this is something that is very important. Prior to the birth of our nation, the 13 colonies were subjugated under tyrannical British rule.

In early American history there was heavy taxation, strangulating trade restrictions, British soldiers could occupy whole houses at their whim and our country; so things were not good at this time in our Country’s history (actually at the time of our 13 original colonies). At the conclusion of the “war of independence” our country gained its freedom because men (and women, of course were the back bone) that picked up, "the peoples liberty teeth”; their guns and fought. The results changed the course of human history! For the first time, America was born we gained liberty, that we enjoy to this day.

Is this not something to be thankful for? Thanksgiving is more than being thankful for your material blessings; it’s about being thankful to God for the freedoms that we enjoy! The founders of our country recognized the necessity of fi****ms to prevent tyranny, promote self-defense, hunting and personal recreational use. The United States is a free nation, because in our early American history (Colonial Period) men chose to pick up their guns and fight against tyranny; sacrificing everything that they had! Historians know many of America's founding fathers were wealthy but many died in poverty losing everything. Our freedom is the basis that we must recognize in the principle of the Second Amendment. George Washington summarized this in the quote at the beginning of this article.

Is this article more appropriate for the Fourth of July? Well perhaps, but personally I'm thankful for our free country and for our bountiful blessings. Americans should be thankful for this. On Thanksgiving Day let us all be thankful!
