The Second Amendment says we have the right to bear arms, not to bear artillery.

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.

The final line in the Second Amendment says, 'The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' That means not by the president, not by Congress.

The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

This isn't about deer hunting. The Second Amendment is about our right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves.

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.
