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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
