Sensing a public relations problem in the making, the Senator's spokesman explained that his boss, Senator Schumer, "believes in the second amendment and the right to bear arms."

My US Congressman Republican Jim Ramstad, MN 3rd, also says he believes in the second amendment and the right to bear arms.

From their actions and votes, I can only assume that they believe the gun banners lie that the “People” in the second amendment really means the government. Thus, the second amendment actually gives the government the right to keep and bear arms, not the people.

Since Schumer is in the government, he can bear arms or cause someone else to bear arms to protect him, but you can’t bear arms to protect yourself and your family.

I only wish that the framers of the US Constitution had given the right to keep and bear arms to the people instead of the government!
