Here is one of the last generations who knew the meaning of honor, service, and justice.

 

I fear that in my lifetime, the Second Amendment will be put to use for one of the reasons it was added to the Constitution. I believe the Second Amendment is the precipice that will decide our future as the United States of America. For some, this right is a vehicle for violence and destruction. For others, it is a means of self-preservation and insurance against the yoke of tyranny. Throughout history, there is evidence to support both opinions. However, it is the naivete of the first opinion that defeats its validity. It is the malignant heart of humankind that inflicts violence upon another, not the tool used to accomplish that violence.

 

Most reasonable people can surmise that the intent of the Second Amendment provided a means of defense for citizens. It was not intended, as some might suggest, as a license for hunting or target practice, even under British rule those activities would have been permissible.

 

The Supreme Court provided that definition in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.

We now have a Government that has classified as enemy, any patriotic, conservative gun-owners who desire a return to a Government tethered to the Constitution.
