Amendment II
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.
The second Amendment is pretty clear and concise, basically stating that us as citizens have the right to buy and own firearms. I want to preface this by saying I do not know a lot about obtaining a weapon or all of the laws out there regarding firearms. I believe that the government should not impose stricter gun laws. If we think about it, if somebody really wants a gun, we all know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that can get that for us. What I am saying is that murderers and killers are going to get their weapon no matter how strict the gun laws. But if regular citizens find it harder to get firearms, then what do we have to fight back against with?
This Picture shows Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding fathers, exercising his right the way they sought to when writing the constitution. In the background are what looks like members of the supreme court protesting that right.
This following image is a bit over the top, but also illustrates my point made above. How will you fight somebody firing at you? With your firearm or by trying to hide and protect yourself with your body?
