The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution guarantees the American people the right to keep and bear arms.

It was adopted on December 15, 1791, exactly 220-years ago today.

"The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution was adopted on this date, December 15, 1791."

Yeah, but they didn't really mean it, ask any 'RAT' including our Constitutional Scholar President or our two leading Republican candidates.

It is up to all of us to make sure that the Second Amendment and the rest of The Constitution remains the law of the land.

I might go put a few “Freedom Dingers” down range today in honor of the 2A.

Thanks.

It is the second most important right, right after the right to free speech. The founding fathers had to excercise that right to make this country...we’ll be needing to do so to keep it.

I think I’ll do a ‘mag dump’ each through an AKM, AR15, and .45 as my own personal celebration.

The only thing on Planet Earth which has kept this nation free - other than wishful thinking, a Big Kiss, and an utterly wrong-headed belief in the ‘good nature’ of those drawn to government power.

Amen to that! Let us remember the one man among all the Founding Fathers most responsible for there even being a Second Amendment— James Madison, “Little Jim’’.

“The beauty of the 2nd amendment is that you won’t need it until they come to take it away”. Thomas Jefferson
