Second Amendment to the Constitution.
Shortly after the U.S. Constitution was
officially ratified, James Madison proposed the Second Amendment to empower
these state militias. While the Second Amendment did not answer the broader
Anti-Federalist concern that the federal government had too much power, it did
establish the principle (held by both Federalists and their opponents) that the
government did not have the authority to disarm citizens.
The right to defend yourself, your family and property against crime as
told by Thomas Jefferson.
“Laws that forbid the carrying of
arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit
crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the
assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an
unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
One other thing: An empty gun is just like a wock. A wock is what you fow at a wabbet😀
