Your 2nd Amendment


Some of you may or may not be familiar with OUR second amendment but it 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." This basically states that Congress is prohibited from infringing upon the right of the people to keep and bear Arms in the United States of America. Where ABC news who stated, "U.S. Guns Arming Mexican Drug Gangs; Second Amendment to blame?" got a headline like this
completely perplexes me. How could a news media conglomerate who claims to be reporting a NON-BIASED OPINION of the news for the PEOPLE actually ever say something like this? How could people like Barrack Obama and Joe Biden, The President and Vice President of the FREE WORLD, speak out against the second amendment by enforcing stricter gun laws and even banning certain guns from American citizens.

I agree that firearms should be registered with the government for many reasons, such as being able to assist police in locating firearms used in violent crimes and making sure if your gun is stolen that it can be easily identified as your weapon if it is recovered. But to support something like The D.C. Handgun Ban, which Barrack Obama stated it as being constitutional to support the banning
of handguns in the Distric of Columbia is absolutely ridiculous. Who are these people to go against the amendments our founding fathers created in order to protect this nations citizens from being controlled by another tyrant like the British were several hundred years ago. It's amazing to me how news coverage can actually beef up stories about border control being impossible because of our right to keep and bear arms. Since when did the mom and pop pawn shops supply drug cartels with guns
to kill each other and american citizens along the southern border? This is just an attempt to attack another one of our rights as citizens in this country that needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.

It doesnt make sense to me that people would even consider it being the fault of the Second Amendment for these MULTI-BILLION dollar drug cartels acquiring firearms. Why would these people look for these firearms in the U.S. when they can buy them in other countries on where it isnt illegal and much cheaper? To ban ANY firearm from the hands of responsible americans is absolutely unconstitutional. Yes it is true that its possible for thugs and criminals to also get ahold of these firearms as well as any responsible american. But you cant assume someone is guilty before they even commit a crime by completely banning guns. Even if you were to ban guns from american citizens, do you really think criminals wouldn't be able to obtain them on black markets anyways? All this would create is criminals being armed for invading your home and you not having a means of protection against it, out of fear of being a criminal yourself. We need citizens to stand up and support our rights as citizens by joining organizations such as the N.R.A., who not only stand up for OUR rights to bear arms but are standing up
against tyrants from stripping away what little rights we have left.
