Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Questions on gun-control/rights [View all]Puha Ekapi
(594 posts)55. And there lies the problem...
        Our primary focus in native rights activism is to throw off the yoke of government interference in our affairs.
 "Limited" sovereignty simply means that the government can step in and stop us from taking action that "they" don't like, and it is usually over access to natural resources.
 That said, our existence as nations is far from secure. We'll keep our arms until the day comes that y'all can guarantee that full sovereignty and autonomy will be protected. We've managed to govern ourselves just fine for thousands of years, and the decision on our bearing arms isn't yours or the governments to make.

        On your statement about Jefferson: I think you've been somewhat misled about him.
