You Don’t Have “2nd Amendment Rights.” You Just Have Rights.
Millions of people today refer to their rights by amendment number, as if they get them FROM the Bill of Rights. Like referring to their right to keep and bear arms as their “2nd Amendment Rights.” But the founders saw things far differently. The words on paper aren’t a permission slip for the people. They aren’t a “gun permit.” They are a restraining order for government: hands off our natural rights Path to Liberty: August 26, 2026 Subscribe: Apple | Spotify | Podbean | Youtube Music | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | More Platforms Here SHOW LINKS: JOIN TAC Show Archives REVOLUTION BETRAYED – America Rebuilt the System the Founders Fought a War to Secede From 2nd Amendment John Dickinson – An address to the Committee of Correspondence in Barbados (1766) James Otis, Jr – Supplement (11 Jan 1762) Samuel Adams – The Rights of the Colonists (20 Nov 1772) Roger Sherman – House of Representatives (21 Dec 1790) Tench Coxe – A Pennsylvanian III – Pennsylvania Gazette Feb. 20, 1788 The Other Federalist Papers: Tench Coxe English Bill of Rights (1689) St. George Tucker – Blackstone’s Commentaries, Vol 1 (1803) James Wilson – Lectures on Law Ch XII, Of the Natural Rights of Individuals (1791) Cicero – Pro Milone Ch 4 §11 (52 BC) St. George Tucker – View of the Constitution of the United States (1803) T-Shirt: Rights are Not Gifts from Government MORE VIDEO SOURCES Watch on Rumble Watch on Odysee Watch on X Watch on Bitchute Watch on Brighteon Watch on LinkedIn Watch on Spotify FOLLOW and SUPPORT TAC: Become a Member: https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/members/ Email Newsletter: https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/register RSS: https://feeds.feedburner.com/tacdailydigest The post You Don’t Have “2nd Amendment Rights.” You Just Have Rights. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.

The Welfare Trap: Benjamin Franklin’s Forgotten Warning
Politicians tell us that welfare programs are absolutely necessary – and helpful. But they ignore the fatal trap that Benjamin Franklin uncovered over 250 years ago: The more you subsidize something, the more you get – government welfare programs make things worse.

The 17th Amendment Broke the Founders Kill Switch
1913 was a really bad year. And one of the biggest changes came from the 17th Amendment. It didn’t just alter the way federal senators are chosen, it actually broke a process the framers built into the system: A constitutional KILL SWITCH to end the federal government. On this episode, it’s the “absolute safeguard” – the lost nuclear option for the states that the government-run schools never teach.

President or King? It’s not the TITLE. It’s the POWER.
For the founders, an elective monarchy was just as bad as an hereditary one – because the core issue was the power of discretion. On this episode, it’s 6 of the most dangerous powers of a king as the founders understood them. And you just might recognize every single one of them today.

Constitution: The REAL Reason it Even Exists.
The founders knew – freedom cannot exist with a government – that doesn’t have strict rules, a clear line in the sand that it’s not allowed to cross. In other words, when government determines the extent of its own power. On this episode, how lessons learned in the American Revolution gave birth to the written constitution. And more importantly, the real reasons it exists – that the government-run schools completely ignore.

They’re not Grievances. They’re STOLEN Power
Declaration of Independence: That long list of charges against the king aren’t mere “grievances.” That word isn’t even in the text. They Founders didn’t secede and fight a long, bloody war over mere complaints about bad policy. American Independence was built on something else spelled out in the text itself, and understood by everyone at the time. On this Episode – It’s the foundation of the declaration that we’re never taught.

It’s not Treason. It’s Self-Defense.
“For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offences.” From the Declaration of Independence, one of the charges against the King that justified secession. It was built on a violent American raid on the British few of us are ever taught about. In the early hours of June 10, 1772, a band of Rhode Islanders rowed out in the dark, shot and seriously wounded a Royal Navy commander, captured the crew and burned his ship to the waterline. The Crown moved to drag them 3000 miles across the ocean to hang. On this Episode – The Crown called it treason.

“Unconditional submission” or “resistance by force.” Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, and the Second Continental Congress said those were their two terrible options less than 3 months after the battles of Lexington and Concord.

This isn’t a Republic. It’s a Coup.
America was built on a foundation that constitutional violations are a deadly disease. Give government an inch – they’ll take a few thousand miles and they’ll never stop.

Taxation isn’t Theft. It’s Robbery.
The anti-federalist Luther Martin predicted government would be so hungry for your money to feed its power, they would squeeze you like “the juice from an orange.” On this episode, it’s Martin’s warnings about the taxing power – more than a century before the 16th Amendment.

Commander. Not King.
“Much inferior to it” – That’s how Alexander Hamilton described the commander in chief power in comparison to the crown. Yet today – most people who just yell ARTICLE II to support all kinds of unconstitutional acts don’t have a clue what the Founders set up under the constitution. On this episode, we’re setting the record straight. It’s commander. Not king.

It’s not Money. It’s Robbery.
You are being ripped off. When it comes to fiat paper “money” – Roger Sherman didn’t hold back. He saw it as an unjust, and totally immoral weapon that turns government into a legalized protection racket for fraud.

Rights aren’t Gifts from Government. They’re Ultimatums.
For the American Revolutionaries “Liberty or Death” wasn’t just a slogan. It was a warning. Rights aren’t gifts from government, and if you violate them you’ll pay the price. On this episode, it’s the natural rights foundation built on a 2000 year lineage – that made “Rebellion to tyrants” not just a suggestion, but a moral duty: “Obedience to God” Path to Liberty: March 18, 2026 Subscribe: Apple | Spotify | Podbean | Youtube Music | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | More Platforms Here SHOW LINKS: JOIN TAC Show Archives Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson – Letter to Henry Lee (8 May 1825) Alexander Hamilton – The Farmer Refuted (23 Feb 1775) John Dickinson – An address to the Committee of Correspondence in Barbados (1766) Sir William Blackstone – Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769) Samuel Adams – The Rights of the Colonists (20 Nov 1772) Algernon Sidney – Discourses Concerning Government (1680) Montesquieu – The Spirit of Laws (1748) Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui – Principles of Natural and Politic Law, Book 1, Part 1, Chap 10 (1748) Aristotle – The Nicomachean Ethics (~330BC) Cicero – Treatise on the Commonwealth (54-51 BC) Samuel von Pufendorf – On the Duty of Man and Citizen According to the Natural Law (1673) Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui – Principles of Natural and Politic Law, Book 2, Part 1, Chap 3 (1748) John Locke – An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Thomas Jefferson – A Summary View of the Rights of British America (1774) John Dickinson – Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania No. 12 (1767) John Locke – Two Treatises (1689) Patrick Henry – Resolutions Against the Stamp Act (30 May 1765) Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui – Principles of Natural and Politic Law, Book 2, Part 3, Chap 5 (1748) Thomas Jefferson – Letter to Lafayette (2 Apr 1790) John Hancock – Massacre Day Oration (5 Mar 1774) Joseph Warren – Letter to Samuel Adams (15 June 1774) George Washington – Letter to Major General Charles Lee (9 May 1776) Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms (6 July 1775) Samuel Adams – Candidus, Boston Gazette (14 Oct 1771) John Jay – an Address of the Convention of the Representatives of the State of New York to Their Constituents (23 Dec 1776) Benjamin Franklin – Proposal for the Great Seal of the United States (before 14 Aug 1776) MORE VIDEO SOURCES Watch on Rumble Watch on Odysee Watch on X Watch on Bitchute Watch on Brighteon Watch on LinkedIn Watch on Spotify FOLLOW and SUPPORT TAC: Become a Member: https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/members/ Email Newsletter: https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/register RSS: https://feeds.feedburner.com/tacdailydigest The post Rights aren’t Gifts from Government.

They’re not Patriots. They’re Puppets.
“The dupes of other men.” Noah Webster told us exactly what happens when people join a political party – they become mindless puppets of people in power. His timeless warning that “faction is death to liberty” is one we can’t afford to ignore any longer.
