For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.

To protect our freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.

Fourteen-year-old boys are not part of a well-regulated militia. Members of wacky religious cults are not part of a well-regulated militia. Permitting unregulated citizens to have guns is destroying the security of this free state.

I have always been a firm believer in the longstanding American principle of having the right to bear arms and I will remain committed to see that this freedom is not infringed upon, revoked, or limited in any way.

Until and unless we could disband these militias, this country won't be able to function properly.

I think it's very important to have a public discussion about why we're denying our soldiers the ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

I feel that the Second Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms for our citizenry. This not for someone who's in the military. This is not for law enforcement. This is for us. And, in fact, when you read that Constitution and the Founding Fathers, they intended this to stop tyranny.

There is more hooey spread about the Second Amendment. It says quite clearly that guns are for those who form part of a well-regulated militia, i.e., the armed forces including the National Guard. The reasons for keeping them away from everyone else get clearer by the day.

Americans have the right under the Second Amendment to own firearms, and that is not going to change.
