Many Gun Owners, the State and Media Agree; 2a Is No Longer Relevant

Here in America in the last seventy plus years, our government and their stooges in the media have sought to relegate the right of a free people to keep and bear arms into a privilege, subject to government approval, rather than an inalienable right. Sadly, many gun owners have agreed to participate in this madness.

I have been consistent in my objections to asking permission and paying for the privilege to carry a weapon on my person, if and when I chose to do so. Yet, the majority of objections I receive to my position come from people who currently own guns and have jumped at the opportunity for government approval to do what they already have the right to do.

Everyday, Americans are arrested and charged with "possessing an unlawful weapon" or some such violation of the law. The 2nd amendment proclaims that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Requiring a permit to "lawfully" carry a weapon is an infringement of that right.
