When I read those words, my thoughts were “here they go again”.

Exactly. I have to confess that I am one of those bloodsucking leeches known as "lawyers." I have read the Constitution many times, I studied it in Law School and argued about its meaning with better minds than my own, and I re-read it frequently to this day.

I perceive absolutely no ambiguity or room for argument in the words of the Second Amendment. Our ancestors came here from lands in which they bore arms only at the sufferance of their overlords. They freed themselves through force of arms and when the Bill of Rights was written and ratified, the Right to Bear Arms was set forth close to the top of the list - behind only the First Amendment Rights to Free Speech, Religion, Association, the Press, and Redress of Grievances.

It's plain English - anyone can understand it, so knock off all the Bravo Sierra! We have the right to carry, openly or concealed, at home or as we move about. It's called Freedom!




"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."
