It's constitutional law.... so, yes having sworn an oath to support and defend the constitution I support that part of it as well.
I do believe that reasonable restrictions should be placed on people owning and using guns, the same way restrictions are placed on people owning and driving cars or planes.
I think those should be limited to requiring the person to prove that they are competent to carefully use firearms, and to demonstrate a basic understanding of safety protocols, comparable to a driving test requirement.
After that, punish the criminal who uses the weapon to commit a crime, not the person who uses it legally and safely.

Yes.As LOUDLY as I can.
If they take away the 1st amendment then you won't be able to complain when they come for your 2nd amendment right to own a gun.If they take away the 2nd amendment then you won't be able to shoot at them when they tell you that you have no 1st amendment right to free speech.
They go hand in hand in protecting eachother and together they protect all other amendments.
The Democrats created the KKK in response to the Republicans freeing the slaves.One of the first things the KKK did was pass gun control laws that forbade blacks from owning a firearm.
Likewise Hitler forbade Jews from owning a gun and every other despot enacted gun control laws.
Political Correctness was originally a Communist idea.
Hitler had a big green movement not unlike Al Gore,etc.

Sure do. I don't own a gun and haven't for many years. But, I don't want to live anyplace where the only people with guns are the police, the military and the thugs.
I want to be assured that if the time comes where I feel the need to own a gun, I have the right to buy one.

2. that is not that i like weapons or think of they make a greater constructive international, yet i think it is a crucial suitable of the folk. in spite of gun limiting rules, undesirable human beings will nevertheless continuously be waiting to get weapons. that's the forged people who will stick to the guidelines and change of their weapons which in return would be left defenseless. No weapons...won't clean up the international's issues.

Yes 100 %. And it is not just for militia, its for every law abiding citizen. To protect ourselves and our family not just from criminals, but from a corrupt government. Be wary of politicians who are against this right. If they can't trust us then we cant trust them.

The second amendment is to protect ourselves from our own government.
It is needed now as it always has been needed.
