The 2nd Amendment was put in place to keep the power in the hands of the people. We are a Republic and our republic will defend the constitution from all threats foreign or domestic. We have a constitutional right which allows any law abiding citizen to keep an bear arms. "Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress?"Patrick Henry
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable...George Washington
