I strongly support the right of all law-abiding Americans to exercise their constitutionally protected right to own firearms and to use them for lawful purposes, including self-defense; the protection of family and property; hunting and recreational shooting.

I note that 'preserving liberty as a check against a tyrannical government' was not on Romney's list of "constitutionally protected" rights.

Romney did an excellent job on this.

Too many supporters of our Constitutional right to bear arms forget the reason was not so we could hunt and defend our homes, but to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government. That obviously limits the ability for states to regulate those arms since they obviously meant for citizens to be armed with the same type of guns as our military. When we don't talk about the actual meaning of this right it allows for Constitutional violations of this right. All military quality assault rifles should be available unchanged. Assault rifles should be the most protected arms considering the purpose of our second amendment.

I don't know why we let the meaning be lost, and purposely destroyed, by those very people who the second amendment is meant to defend us against. It should have been changed Constitutionally if it's wasn't what people wanted later on, but it never was. We have the right to explosives, shoulder mounted rockets, and at least certain types of artillery considering privately owned cannon and warships were around at the time. Regardless of how far your believe it went I think it's obvious we were given the constitutional right to have the exact same small arms as our military completely unchanged. If you don't like it there is a way to change it Constitutionally that almost every modern politician ignores, or don't take seriously if mentioned for political support, on every issue because of how easy it is to just bypass it. Doing it the right way has no support on any of the issues out there which means they are implementing tyranny on us when they still push it on us.

It doesn't matter now because we let the people the second amendment was defending us against change it's meaning, and many second amendment supporters somehow adopted that meaning, mainly because they didn't the balls to tell these unconstitutional bastards that it wasn't hunting, or home defense that was the meaning behind this right, but self defense against those unconstitutional bastards who knowingly changed it's meaning in many peoples eyes by repeating it over and over without being corrected. They use that tactic on all kinds of Constitutional issues.
