Thank you for visiting the "Gun Control" page where you will learn that it's NOT about controlling guns...it's about controlling people. ~ Rodney Spooner
What does the Constitution say?
Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads:
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.
Our Founding Fathers understood the nature of man; that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Our Founding Fathers made the Second Amendment second in importance only to the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Founding Fathers wisely anticipated that the First Amendment would be impotent without the Second Amendment to secure for the People the right to bear arms to protect it. The Second Amendment is not just about protecting yourself, your family, and your property, it's all about protecting yourself from government tyranny...foreign and domestic.
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
The Second and Fourteenth Amendments have “married” in the McDonald vs. Chicago case before SCOTUS in June 2010.
There are 2 absolute truths in the gun control debate
"If guns are outlawed...only outlaws will have guns."

"When seconds count...the police are only minutes away."

"We are the first line of defense.
Law enforcement is our back-up"
Law enforcement is our back-up"
