A Lesson On the Second Amendment...A Constitutional Right

Record numbers of American citizens are now legally carrying firearms for personal protection. Evidence shows that homicide rates have declined dramatically during a period when gun sales have skyrocketed. Everything the gun prohibitionists have been claiming and predicting over the past two decades has been fundamentally wrong. They have repeatedly argued that more guns will equate to more crime and more firearms deaths. Washington, DC with its extreme gun control has the highest murder rate in the nation, while Utah, with very liberal gun laws, has the lowest rate. The obvious truth is that firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens are not a threat to anyone except the criminal that may harm them, their loved ones, or property.

With all the evidence showing that Americans are safer with guns why would the government continue to place bans and/or restrictions on them. That too is obvious. Fear of the people.

I invite you to watch the video below on the Second Amendment. It will enlighten you.
