The men and women who took up arms against their own government, beginning on April 19, 1775, and fought for eight long years to defeat what was then the dominant military power on earth, the Royal armed forces of King George III, did not then write a constitution to “secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” so that we could hunt ducks. They insisted that the Bill of Rights forbid the new government from infringing on our right to keep and bear arms so that if necessary we could do what they did, seize the reins of power from a government run amok and replace it with one which protects our fundamental human rights. The Second Amendment ain’t about hunting!
