The Second Amendment is Critical to Our Freedom

Why should we care about the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment states '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 the guarantor of the First Amendment.
One state would not pass the Constitution without the Second
Amendment.

We believe in the right to keep and bear arms for the defense
of country, family, and self.

Democrats want to prohibit gun ownership and confiscate all guns.

Most have no idea of the history of this nation or they would rather ignore it. The Democrats use the phrase 'a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State' Amendment to justify their actions. They claim that the National Guard is the militia described. If they knew history they would know that every little hamlet and village had a militia of volunteers that kept the early criminal gangs and antagonistic Indian tribes at bay (although there were many Indian tribes supporting colonists that eventually merged with the population). They also claim that the 'well regulated' in this phrase gives them the right to regulate gun ownership. The well regulated refers to well trained if they knew their history. This phrase just describes the importence of the Second Amendment. The Amendment states 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed', shall means it is manditory this right be upheld without exception.

Where gun ownership is highly regulated, the consequences are dire.

Gun violence in Democrat run cities and states is catastrophically higher then in Republican run cities and states. The why for this is simple. The criminal carrying illegal guns (stolen, felon, etc.) is let go and back on the street only minutes after being arrested but if honest American citizens use a gun to protect themselves or their family they get the book thrown at them. Illegal aliens are given much lighter sentences then citizens. It seems Democrats prefer criminals and in particular illegal aliens then innocent, honest American citizens. Yet these cities and states are trying to confiscate all firearms and have taken away most ownership rights from innocent gun owners. Illegal alien criminals are protected in these sanctuary cities and states at the very expense of honest citizens. Now we have an even greater challenge, the Democratic socialists who are on the forefront of the effort to confiscate firearms. This from their point of view will create the chaos called for in the Communist Manifesto (by the way, they are not democratic, they are in fact Communists.)

Except for a handful, Democrats either fully endorse these so-called Democrat Socialists or they accept them in their s-called big tent. In any case nearly all Democrats support gun confiscation from honest citizens and are also willing to sow the seeds of chaos.

It is vital that you get out and vote Republican all the way this year. Let there be no gun confiscation or chaos
in the street. Vote for peace
at home.
