I am an American. I believe in the right to bear arms. People that are disarmed are either prisoners or slaves. The first gun laws in this country were against freed slaves. The banning of firearms is an attack on the sovereign individual and the right to the preservation of life. I believe in the 2nd amendment, an amendment that recognizes my God given right to own a gun to defend myself and defend my family from the threat of harm or enslavement and to protect my property from illegal search and seizure by anyone foreign or domestic up to and including a tyrannical government.
