Unless citizens have guns to assert their rights, they have only whatever rights the government permits. Thus, the Second Amendment is the people’s defense against their own government, should that government over-reach its constitutional authority.
Secondly, since local, county and state governments have no legal requirement or ability to protect citizens from criminal acts, citizens, therefore, have the responsibility to protect themselves with the arms guaranteed them by the Second Amendment. Governments can only apprehend, try and incarcerate criminals after the fact; therefore, “Protect and Serve” on police cars is a misnomer. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
