2nd Ammendment Rights

Gun rights and gun control is currently a hot topic in America. The 2^nd Amendment of the Constitution is a mere twenty-seven words. It is straight forward. I do not see how it cannot be understood.

“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 not about hunting. It has nothing to do with how many shells it takes to kill a deer. The amendment is about "We The People" being able to defend ourselves when needed.

The Founders saw the fear of arms being in the hands of the government alone and the people having no power to defend themselves if need be. They did not want the right of the people to bear arms to be infringed.

 

Now, the issue of permits, mental health, and who can own what is a great dialogue to have. However, when the government infringes on the rights of the people, we are headed down a road that is very dangerous in the long run.
