2nd Amendment still valid today
“Amendment II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the rights of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
This was written after the colonies had defeated the strongest nation on Earth and won our freedom from repressive government. It was not written by the NRA or wacko gun nuts or baby-killers, it was written by the forefathers of this nation in order to protect the people of the United States of America (then and forever).
It has nothing to do with authorizing the possession of muskets. It has to do with never again allowing an oppressive government to become the oppressor of us all. It is as valid today as it was on the day it was written. It is our insurance policy to prevent us from ever being ruled by another king or dictator. You need not be a Ph.D. to understand it.
Five times, I have taken the oath to “Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.” Presidents and presidential fiats are not included in this oath.
I shall continue to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America until my death.
