Bernard DeCastro on Gun Control

 


I believe in the Second Amendment

I BELIEVE in the right to own and possess firearms. The Second Amendment to the Constitution recognizes this right and it is the responsibility of our government to protect this freedom rather than to seek to overturn it.

Included in this amendment to the Bill of Rights is the authority for state militias to be formed in order to ensure that no encroachment by federal government can overthrow the sovereignty of each individual state or the rights of its citizens without an armed resistance.
