Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

It is man the killer, not a material thing such as a gun, knife, saw or say a pencil. Why do some not understand?

Just once again proves that democrats have no desire to control guns, they just want to outright ban them. At least this one came right out and said it instead of trying to lie about it.

Three SC state legislators introduced a bill in the SC house, that allows South Carolina to secede if the federal government attempts to confiscate legally purchased weapons.
