The consitution was written to restrain the government. No amendment is more important for this purpose than the 2nd amendment. The 2nd amendment was written so the power could be kept with the citizenry in the face of a tyrannical government. It was well understood the constitution ackowledged certain rights that could not be limited by government.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has made it clear he does not believe in the Constitution or the inalienable rights of americans to keep and bear arms.. He is actively working to destroy the 2nd amendment with his back door bill that had just passed it does nothing more than unarm law abiding citizens and treat them as if they are criminals.
For this reason we the people of the usa petition he be tried in federal court for treason to the constitution.
