"Regarding 'Defending 2nd Amendment' (Point of View, Feb. 27): The statement is frequently made that the right to bear arms is a 'God-given right.' It’s the U.S. Constitution that grants us the right to keep and bear arms. ..."
-------
Submitter's Note: If that were true, the Amendment would read A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the people are granted the right to keep and bear Arms. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
