Article the Fourth
[ Amendment II ]

being necessary to the security
of a free State,
the right of the people
to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed."

"Government legislation to ban select firearms
and their components will not reduce
future criminal gun violence in America.
Laws only provide a means to prosecute
when a law has been broken.
Strict Gun laws have been in place
for decades to serve that purpose.
Restricting law-abiding citizens isn't the answer.
Stripping the rights of law-abiding
citizens isn't the solution."
