"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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
