According to Me

The second amendment starts with precursor outlining the need for an organized militia. This is during a time that militia's members where expected to provide their own arms. This is also the beginning of a nation that just had to liberate itself from the tyrannical rule of an unjust government. Inherently mistrust of governments that put themselves before their citizens lingered. The second amendment was to avoid the subjugation of citizens by removing their ability to resist unreasonable rule.
The Constitution then states "The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The idea of a "right" was something endowed upon individuals by their creator. Powers was the term used for the states responsibilities as given to them by the people. The United States was formed upon the ideal that government was of the people, by the people, and above all else for the people.

Not just politics

This site is not just a post to state the political banter in opposition to gun control, I also want to show the enjoyment My family and I experience from shooting, hunting, and being involvled in the shooting community.
