The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees
an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, period. This
applies to every American as reflected in this quote by George
Mason, "I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole
people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual
way to enslave them." Some have tried to redefine the meaning
of “the militia”. We must educate our children about
the importance of protecting the Second Amendment. There have
been attempts to chip away at our gun rights and there are those
who would like nothing better than to disarm the people. We
must remain vigilant.
