Kentucky Sheriff Denny Peyman Upholds 2nd Amendment

    I would first like to make clear that I support (current) Firearms Legislation… And would like to point out that creating new Legislation takes Time to Accomplish… And that Amending the Constitution takes even Longer. Children need Protection Now!

    I understand that some in the Nation would Argue that Placing Armed Air Marshals aboard Airlines would make Flying the friendly Sky’s more Dangerous… But…

    The Fact is, we did placed Armed Air Marshals on Airlines to Protect Flight Passengers, So Why on God’s Green Earth would we not do so in Schools, to Afford Children the Same Degree of Protection
    Fact: If 2 Armed Staff Members are Present to Engage a Lunatic who comes to kill our Children, It will Take his Focus off the Children, and force them to focus on an Engaging Adult.

    Fact: Difficult as it is to say, Two Adults Shooting at each other, is better than one Adult Shooting at Children until their Gun is Empty, with no intervention.

    Fact: 1 or 2 Armed Staff Members could have saved Children’s Lives at Sandy Hook Elementary. The likelihood of this being True is VERY high.

    Fact: If 10, or even 1 Child could still be with their Families this Holiday Season, it would be Worth Arming School Staff Members.

    Challenge: Prove me Wrong… Present your Arguments, And get eaten alive with Reasoning, Compassion as a Parent and Sheer Logic.

    As many People Die or are injured From Drunk Drivers Annually in the United States, as from Gun Related Crimes… Do we outlaw Motor Vehicles as Evil Things? No… That would be foolish. Cars don’t kill People… People kill People. The Same is true with Firearms.

    In short, Blaming the Car that killed a Loved one, instead of the Criminal Driving the Car, is Lunacy.

    We need to realize that the Ability of a Firearm to Save a Life, is Equal to its innate Ability to take a Life.

    Would you put off the Protection of Students, to wait for further Legislation or Constitutional Amendments? Or would you look for a more Immediate Solution? One That Affords them Some Protection, Right Now?

    Never having thought I would ever say this myself… I would Support my Son’s School in Arming some Qualified Staff Members, to Protect Him and His Class Mates, Provided They were trusted in the Community, I was Provided with Their Qualifications, and some Personal Background…

    Regardless of how many Staff Members the School chooses to Arm, I believe there should be no more than 2 Armed Staff in the School at any one Time… And they should all Train together, and know one another very well.

    Given the Lunatics in Today’s Society, what Parent wouldn’t consider this, even if they didn’t like the Idea, but as it being a necessity?

    Some People in America have a more realistic sense of a Protection Mechanism for their Family Members than others in the U.S. …And some People in Countries where guns are not allowed, have difficulty in understanding this from an American Prospective.

    It doesn’t make either Party Wrong… It just means one is more prepared to face the Realities of the Life, and the Society we Live in Today.

    The Fact is, we live in an almost fully Armed Society… A Society where, like it or not, People do exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights… I’d like to believe most of those People Exercise that Right for the Proper Reason… But, that being said… Let’s use the Second Amendment for something Good.

    Use it to Protect Children in Schools. Allow Teachers or Education Officials the opportunity to Exercise their Right to Keep and Bear Arms. We do it for Pilots and Passengers… Why not Teachers and Children?

    I would also like to see the Military and Law Enforcement remove Regulations on Frangible Ammunition… A lot of Law Abiding Firearms Owners including myself, would consider using this type of Ammunition, in Lieu of More Deadly FMJ or HP Ammunition.

    I look at this from the Prospective of the Reality we live in Today. People can Argue the 2nd Amendment, or try to Burn it, and all that precedes it or follows it, Or they can Argue new Legislation all they want… But the Fact is, these things take Time, and our Children cannot afford to wait for such Arguments.

    I’m sick of all the Right/Left, Republican/Democrat, Liberal/Conservative Bull Shit I hear everyone arguing about regarding the Second Amendment! If all People want to do is Point Fingers at Various other Parties or People, You are all very Sadly missing the Point.

    Arguing these things completely Ignores the 26 Victims of Sandy Hook Elementary, and their Families Loss… And it completely ignores the Necessity for Protecting School Children RIGHT NOW, from a possible future threat.

    So… Please Arm School Staff with Trusted Members of the Community, who are Trained, and willing to take on the Task of Protecting Children.

    And Stop Trying to Burn The Second Amendment, and the rest of the Constitution with it! Here are the Links:

    Here is a list of Links I found on the Web, Of Schools that already Allow Staff to Carry Concealed Firearms on the Job, or that are Considering the possibility. I see this as Proof that my Idea is not only Sound… But growing in Popularity… And will become the Norm in the very near Future… So I urge all Parents to Communicate closely with their Local P.D. and School Officials… Reach out to other Parents… And make the Right Decision for the Safety of your Children… Choose a few trusted Members of the Community to Defend them.

    Thank you Sheriff…. Here’s a few quotes the Founders made regarding the Constitution… And mostly the Second Amendment… You know… The one that Acknowledges The People as the Well Regulated Militia, Necessary to the Security of a Free State, and that our Right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed… Never Forget Our 2nd Amendment is the Last Line of Defense for this Nation and its People. There are only 2 possible Motives for wanting to take it away. To openly invite the Invasion of America by Foreign Troops… Or to Take Control of our Nation from within it’s own Walls.

    Thank you all for your time… Enjoy:

    What did the Founders have to say about the 2nd Amendment?

    Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property… Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.
    Thomas Paine
    The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.
    John Adams

    When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.
    George Washington

    The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
    James Madison

    Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.
    James Madison

    Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.
    John Adams

    The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.
    George Washington

    Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.
    George Washington

    It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
    George Washington

    The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.
    James Madison

    The great object is that every man be armed.
    Patrick Henry

    Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
    Patrick Henry

    How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
    Samuel Adams

    As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
    James Madison

    Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations.
    James Madison

    They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
    Benjamin Franklin

    Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.
    James Madison

    Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.
    Samuel Adams

    The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.
    James Madison

    The Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.
    Samuel Adams

    No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent.
    John Jay

    It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
    James Madison

    If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
    James Madison

    I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
    James Madison

    The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.
    George Washington

    The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted.
    James Madison

    We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.
    James Madison

    War should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits.
    James Madison

    The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.
    George Washington

    The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.
    James Madison

    We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
    Thomas Jefferson

    Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.
    Thomas Jefferson

    I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
    Thomas Jefferson

    This clown is worried about upholding the 2nd Amendment? Wow!

    State audit report says Jackson County sheriff owes county $278,000

    Reports of SHERIFF DENNY PEYMAN’S questionable handling of finances date back to October 2012. How convenient his public stance on gun laws and the 2nd Amendment surfaces in January 2013, only weeks before the State Auditor of Public Accounts realeases an audit detailing Sheriff Denny Peyman’s gross mismanagement of the Jackson County, Kentucky Sheriff’s Office.

    Patriotic sheriff, or con-artist attempting to gain the support of patriotic Americans and divert attention from his failures to properly account for taxpayer funds?
