My family and I have legally owned guns for the protection of our households for as long as I can remember, and I believe that every adult citizen has the right to legally own a firearm for protection or hunting.
But when the Constitution of the United States was written in 1787, I'm sure the Founding Fathers could not envision that, in future generations, Americans would be using the Second Amendment to justify ordinary citizens owning military-style semiautomatic weapons or bump stocks that enable a person to turn a gun into such a destructive weapon. |

| They envisioned the citizens being armed with the same level of weaponry as any standing army. Shucks, privately owned cannons were common ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
