Under the threat of rain, dozens of people gathered Saturday morning in Orange County to express their support for the Second Amendment and their right to carry guns. Over 200 people had expressed interest in the event, which was publicized by organizers via a Facebook.post. The event was held at the Old Orange County Courthouse and several speakers said they were strong advocates of the Second Amendment, which is enshrined in America's Bill of Rights.

What is it about our structure of constitutionally protected rights that people don't get?
You cannot abridge the freedom of innocent, law-abiding people for the criminal acts of a minuscule minority, no matter how heinous those acts are.
It's called Prior Restraint, which facially violates the 5th and 14th Amendments' due process commands. This constitutional provision exists to protect our LIBERTY. Saying, "Yes, BUT..." does not circumvent the constitutional commands. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
