What is it that protects our individual liberty and sovereignty? It is us – WE THE PEOPLE! How do we do that? Through our constitution – specifically through the first and second amendments which are integral to our freedom and rights. Gun ownership is a liberty that each of us can enjoy, and although many people disagree with being armed, it should not be a disagreement that takes away others’ rights.
As it is often said, “Guns don’t kill people – People kill people.” That is the truth. When someone takes a weapon and decides to infringe on another human being – that is because of a problem with the person, not the fact that they had a weapon.
Charlton Heston has created a video, it is eloquent, and if you have some time to watch, reminds us of many components that are integral to our constitution, freedom, and country.
