WE THE PEOPLE WERE GIVEN THESE RIGHTS TO PROTECT US FROM BEING SILENCED, ALLOW US TO WORSHIP AS WE SEE FIT, WHILE NOT INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS.
OUR 2ND AMENDMENT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO ALLOW CITIZENS TO HUNT, COLLECT OR TARGET SHOOT FOR PLEASURE. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE WISE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE FUTURE THE GOALS OF THE UNITERD STATES MIGHT BE CHANGED INTO A TYRANNICAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT, AND IN FACT THE DUTY, TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS GIVEN IN OUR CONSTITUTION.
