U.S. Constitution - Amendment 2 (Bill of Rights)
Onto a short, but hotly-debated Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. The Government is slowly gaining ground on removing the ability to protect ourselves, and our family and property. Now, I'm all for certain individuals not being able to possess firearms, like crooks and creeps; but I believe this only for a period of time. People can change, as anyone would say about themselves, but never about another.

I personally do not own a gun, though I have in the past. But I will strongly defend others' rights to own guns and the right to form a militia to protect themselves from thieves, murderers, rapists & a corrupt Government. Seriously consider this: once a few rights are removed, we will slowly move into a Police State, where we will have no say. Consider also this: We're almost at that point. We only "vote" on issues or for people that are predetermined by special interest groups and corporations. Protect your rights and those of your neighbors!
