2nd Amendment

I lifted the following from a rather lengthy article by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano about the 2nd Amendment.  Many people simply do not understand the reason for the 2nd Amendment.  It has absolutely nothing to do with hunting or target shooting.  It has everything to do with FREEDOM, the ability to protect ourselves from tyrants and protect our nation from despots like Stalin, Hitler, etc.  The 2nd Amendment is second behind the 1st Amendment (freedom of speech and religion) for a reason. . .to protect the 1st Amendment.  Our Founding Fathers knew exactly what they were doing.  Way too many people today have no idea what the Constitution is and what it means to them.  That, plus gun confiscation, will lead to the fall of America into the hands of some despot dictator.

"The historical reality of the Second Amendment's protection of the right to keep and bear arms is not that it protects the right to shoot deer. It protects the right to shoot tyrants, and it protects the right to shoot at them effectively, thus, with the same instruments they would use upon us. If the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto had had the firepower and ammunition that the Nazis did, some of Poland might have stayed free and more persons would have survived the Holocaust."

We must protect and conserve the 2nd Amendment to protect and conserve America!  Obama be damned.  He has done more to trample on the Constitution than any prior president.

Something to think about:

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient,and the world will follow our lead into the future." --Adolf Hitler, 1935
