Did you know the 2nd amendment does not give us the right to bear arms?

Many assume that it does but they are wrong.

The original intent actually makes an affirmative statement that we have always had that right.

It confirms that the basic rights, as laid out in the Constitution, have always been in place.

It places these within our base law to say that we do indeed have the right to defend ourselves, even against our government if the need should ever arise.

So none of the rights in the Constitution are given to us by the Constitution as the government cannot give us our rights. It can only defend the basic rights we already had as given to us by our Creator.

The problem we have today is that conservatives have lost sight of that and thus they are fighting an uphill battle against liberals in trying to maintain these basic rights.
