Protecting

"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.” Words that are more prevalent today than any other time in our history. Some say that when our founding fathers wrote The Constitution and created The Bill of Rights, they intended for the 2nd Amendment to be number two on the list for a reason. History has proven that this right has allowed us to maintain the freedoms we have. And this should be important for all US citizens.

Maybe you question this? Or you don’t feel the second amendment is detrimental in our country? Take a look at some other countries around the world that have put a ban on civilians owning firearms. Take a look at other countries around the world who have banned guns and removed them from their citizens. Venezuela banned the sale of guns in 2012. Fast forward to today, Venezuela is a mess. They are a Socialist, Tyrannical country. The government is violating and removing liberties such as free speech, devaluing its national currency, seizing privately owned properties and creating economic destruction that has destroyed the country. They claim to have banned guns to limit their crime rate. But think if your government came to your home and told you they needed it and were taking it and you couldn't do anything about it!

Australia put in place a strict gun control program between 1996-2007 that started with banning semi-automatic guns and evolved into banning certain calibers, barrel lengths, & magazine capacities. They claimed this was to lower their homicide and crime rate. Canada is now doing this as well. Nazi Germany banned guns and look at the results. Most feel that this allowed for the Holocaust to take place. If guns were not banned, people could have fought back, saving millions of lives. It wouldn’t have been so simple for Hitler and the Nazi’s to do what they did if all of those civilians were armed and could protect themselves, their family’s and neighbors.

How many times in history do we need to see the effects of people forfeiting their rights and then seeing how their worlds can be turned upside down. There is a reason that this has not happened in the United States and that is because pro 2A Americans stick to their guns (pun intended) and will not give up this right. There are many Americans that fight the government and politicians daily so we can keep our 2nd amendment rights.

Certain states are pushing their limits to see what they can get away with. States like California,
