As efforts increase on Capitol Hill to limit the types of firearms and the number of rounds a citizen can own and carry, it becomes vital for Americans to understand why our Founding Fathers felt so strongly about our right to bear arms. They were very fearful of a Federal Government that could take away its citizens' right to bear arms and drafted the Second Amendment to ensure it would never happen. If we understand what is at stake should we lose that right, we can be vocal and strong and let our elected officials in Washington know that we will not stand for any impingement on the rights guaranteed to us under the Second Amendment. The dangers and threats to our freedom if we let this happen are very serious.
The video below gives an explanation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution in the context of the entire Bill of Rights and lessons from history. There is much more to the Second Amendment than hunting, target shooting and personal defense. You see, an oppressive government needs to disarm its citizens and make them defenseless. The need for the citizens the United States to be able to protect themselves from a tyrannical government dates back to our very experience with Britain that led to the American Revolution. Be wary of any attempts by the Federal Government to impinge on your Second Amendment rights.
