Second Amendment Misunderstood

That's what the anti-gun fools want us to think. And, in a way, they're right. The Second Amendment does NOT give us the right to be armed in self defense. It merely RECOGNIZED the basic human right of self defense, and to own and use the means to that, a gun—or whatever else we need, to be on an equal basis to those who own and use ILLEGAL guns, or whatever. It recognizes that right, and pledges to defend and preserve it. It IS a “God-given right” (or for atheists, it is a “right of BIRTH.”) You were BORN with that right. Only would-be dictators want to take it away from you. Them and their “useful idiots.” And another thing the Founders realized, but which today's politicians ignore is the fact that if they become too oppressive, we must have the means for defense from our own government. Think want our homeland would be like today if the British were successful in taking the guns of the colonists! There would never have been a “revolutionary war,” and we would still be subject to the whims of the King of England. That IS a basic right, and politicians have been trying, since before the ink was dry on the Constitution, to take it away. If we ever allow it, we're LOST. (Eagle Gun Range)
