The 2nd Amendment

The 2^nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights has become the basis for all arguments in favor or against gun control. It states, in part, that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Gun control advocates believe that the 2^nd Amendment was crafted for a different time in history, is currently outdated and therefore should be amended.

This however is untrue. Is the threat of tyranny less prevalent today than it was 235 years ago? Is crime less common or less violent today than it was back then? Following this same line of thought, should we also amend the rest of the Bill of Rights? Are our rights of freedom of speech and due process outdated? The answer to all of the questions is unequivocally, unapologetically no.

Currently, there are four states where there are no regulations on concealed carry, in what has become known as Constitutional Carry. The name says it all; Constitutional Carry is what is allowed by the Constitution and should be implemented by every other state across America.
