The amendment states, A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Given this, the answer of whether the Second Amendment is a right or a privilege may seem obvious.
I believe the second amendment is a right we inherited from our forefathers in 1776.
But,liberals seem to think otherwise,with continued restrictions.
In 1993, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was enacted.It prohibits possession of a deadly firearm for people who have been convicted of crimes in court and incarcerated for more than one year; unlawful users of any controlled substance; those discharged from the armed forces under dishonorable conditions; those subjected to Protection from Abuse orders; and those convicted of domestic violence.Now we have red flag laws.And restrictions on what type of firearms we can own.
Of the above categories, one of note is those who are unlawful users of any controlled substance. While seemingly cut-and-dry, the introduction of medical marijuana has muddied the waters considerably.Thus, in some states,possession of a valid Medical Marijuana Card or the use of medical marijuana makes an individual an unlawful user of a controlled substance??someone who cannot possess a firearm legally.
If your right to bear arms can be restricted by past offenses, dishonorable discharge from the armed forces or the use of state-approved medical marijuana, is this truly a universal right?
In my oppinion,liberals have turned your right to bear arms into a privilege that they can remove.And its getting easier for them to be able to remove it,with all the new restrictions being added.
The right to bear arms is one of the things I treasure most in life.And it bothers me that liberals are trying to take it.Im sure the paragraphs could be written on the subject. But I just wanted to start a conversation on this very important subject and hear others feedback.
