THE SECOND AMENDMENT
...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Amendment II to The Constitution of The United States of America. Second of ten amendments ratified effective December 15, 1791. On September 25, 1789, Congress sent 12 "declaratory and restrictive clauses" to the state legislatures. 10 were ratified. Their purpose was to "prevent misconstruction or abuse of " the powers of the Constitution. The founders had suffered under tyranny. They knew "the dangers of good intentions". (Daniel Webster). They were "especially against all extensions of Executive power". (Daniel Webster).
Recently, a liberal TV personality named Bill called the 2nd amendment "bullsh*t". Then, his guest, Michael, compared gun registration to a driver's license. How illogical can these people be? There is no inalienable right to own and operate an automobile.
