Do you enjoy attending whatever church you wish?
Do you enjoy shopping at what ever store you wish?
Do you enjoy living in what ever state, county or town you wish to live in?
Do you enjoy having your child attend whatever school he is enrolled in and not have to have him or her attend somewhere else do to race, origin or for what ever reason someone can pit against you and label you as different.

Well if you enjoy these freedoms you can thank the people who owned and possessed firearms.
Yes the may be our forefathers. But the banned together and did so within a minutes notice prepared to fight for the freedom you all enjoy today, thus giving them the name “Minuet Men”
Our for fathers saw it necessary that we are never prevented from bearing arms and it was not just to for the purpose to protect you from criminal but to protect you from your own government. We are expected to learn history in education to learn about our nations past and most important because history repeats itself.
Compare for instance Julius Ceasar to John F. Kennedy Both killed by their own. Look at the time from Ceasar till now and how the same things occur even today. Way too many died over many years to fight for our constitutional rights, and we have those who want to give those rights away. If you feel that the right to bear arms is not important, ask anyone older who can recall the Jewish being slaughtered by Nazi’s under Hitler’s control. Can you honestly believe that over six million Jewish people walked to their own deaths in concentration camps would they have had the ability to fight for their lives let alone their freedom. In case you didn’t know the first thing Hitler did was to take all of the guns from the civilians. If you don’t think the right to bear arms is important, ask those people or ask the people who defended their homes in business during the Rodney King riots when the police could not come to their aid. Or how about those in New Orleans. I say “I will not give up my gun(s) unless its pried from my cold dead hand”. If your a law abiding citizen you should have every right to own a firearm and when I refer to the right to bear arms that includes pistols as well as rifles and shotguns, after all the Minute Men carried and used them all and included them all in the constitution by saying “The Right to bear arms”
F.Y.I. I am an 18 Yr. Veteran Police officer and see crime and violence every day. The answer is not in gun laws the real answer is in punishment, in which we never seem to be able to enforce. When I was a child and did wrong I got wacked on the hind end and it hurt. I learned not to do what ever I did to get wacked, because it hurt and I knew there was repercussions for doing wrong. Today we send kids to their room for time out, or punish some people for crimes with nothing more than papers, ouch I’ll bet that hurts and will make be never forget what I did was wrong…LOL.
Wake up Americans, Don’t be so quick to give away what we fought so hard and long for with many lives lost.; Our Constitutional Rights. If you want to take a bite out of crime, take it out on your legislators when you vote, for not seeing it through that people are truly held accountable and punished for their wrong doing in society when the break the laws that we already have.
