The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Repeal Time.

The full and complete text of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution as adopted on December 15, 1791, and as it still reads today, is as follows:

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.

Cambridge Dictionary Online defines militia as

a military force that operates only some of the time and whose members are not soldiers in a permanent army: Each militia represents one of the country’s political factions.

That sure sounds like the definition for the National Guard in the United States of America to me.

Cambridge Dictionary Online has this definition of National Guard:

the state military force that is available for service in state and federal emergencies

And, the following is the National Guard definition from Collins Dictionary Online:

National Guard in the U.S., the organized militia forces of the individual states, a component of the Army of the U.S. when called into active federal service

In the United States, the National Guard is a military force within an individual state, which can be sent on a mission by either the state or national government if there is an emergency.

That brings me to this:

Putting into the perspective the times of today as compared to the times of 1791, it is my opinion that the time is now to Repeal the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

With a friend like Jerry Rosen.... Another Facebook Tragedy!

On both of my two blogs, i.e. Roland Hansen Commentary and Roland's Ramblings, I have written on several occasions about how damaging Facebook and other internet social media can be to relationships with family and friends. And, I have also written many times before about fake friends as opposed to real friends.

Well, guess what! No, don't guess; I will tell you.
This is another of those times; and, this time it combines the two topics of Facebook being a medium for damaging social relationships and of fake friends.

This one, my readers, is going to be a long, long story, in part because it contains detailed word-for-word electronic communications that have transpired. And, of course, I have to add my own commentary.

This Roland Hansen Commentary blog entry concerns a fellow by the name of Jerry Robert Rosen, a 71 year-old man who presently lives in a suburb of Tampa, Florida.

Before I go into all the details, I will provide an introductory lead-in, sort of like those irritating news lead-ins ("coming up next, we will tell you about ..... ") that we hear on television when they tell you what they are going to tell you, sometimes up to three times before they actually give the story.

In that vein, here is a compilation of excerpts taken in chronological order from actual electronic communications of Jerry Rosen:

Jerry Rosen to Roland Hansen:
"Roland, ...remaining 'friends' on FB makes me a hypocrite. You seem to crave love and affection and have stated you are lonely – as has Judy ... You both seem to need friends, badly. ...when your little widget that tells you that you have been unfriended ... you will see it was me. On one hand I feel sorry for you but on the other you are an adult and should act like one."

Now then, are you ready for the whole sordid thing?
Get a cup or two or three of coffee. Sit back and relax. Here we go.

America - First in Killings by Gun-Loving Fellow Americans!

Only in America!

Yet again another mass killing in America by another gun-loving American!

17 killed in mass shooting at high school in Parkland, Florida.

Florida shooting: Who are the victims?

Is the Florida High School Shooter a 'Dreamer'?



Other countries of the world have much more strict laws concerning gun ownership than does the United States of America. But gun-loving Americans loudly proclaim that guns do not kill people, that it is people who kill people. So, tell me, why are gun-related killings in America higher than other countries that have responsible gun regulations?



When will we Americans ever learn?

Gun-loving political conservatives who stonewall the enactment of responsible gun regulations in America totally sicken me.

The Sound Of Silence

Do not be silent. 
Speak out against injustice, intolerance, hatred, and xenophobia.
