Second Amendment
“The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”
“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 right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Period. This is a “right” endowed by our Creator in the same way the “right” to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness were recognized by our framers in the Declaration of Independence. Thus, it is absolute and exists from birth to death for every human being. It is neither given by government and nor can it be taken away by such. The 2nd Amendment is a recognition of that divinely given “right” and a unique promise among world governments not to “infringe” or “trespass” upon it.
Additionally, as the 2nd Amendment in our Bill of Rights, it must be viewed with the same liberality as that extended to the 1st Amendment. What journalist must first seek a permit from a State or Federal agency to exercise their freedom of the press? Yet, somehow, liberals feel the need to subjugate the 2nd Amendment to massive oversight from both. This must stop!
This unrestricted right is recognized as belonging to the common citizens (Militia) of the United States to ensure the security of our free State. Naturally, this then extends to one’s home and person which are both essential to being able to safeguard the “free State”.
The 2nd Amendment exists to ensure the survival of the 1st Amendment (as well as the rest of our Constitution). Without it, our Republic will cease to exist.
