"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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
