Yes, The 2nd amendment clearly states: the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

It does not say that this right is granted by a benevolent and kindhearted government.

It does not say ‘the right of the “militia” as the Oppressive-left would have us believe, but the people.

Because if the Oppressive-left can convince the sheeple that a kind and benevolent government has thusforth granted these rights – It can also Take these rights away.

That’s why “endowed by our Creator” is the CORNERSTONE of *ALL* our rights.

If you don’t believe in God, like most of the Left, then the State is its own god and can grant and rescind rights at will.

Any man or group of men that can grant or rescind rights at will, or even according to the vicissitudes of a “majority”, is TYRANNY.
