As an avid hunter, outdoor enthusiast, and life member of the NRA, I understand the importance of protecting the right to keep and bear arms.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
Some might consider me an unlikely advocate for gun rights because I sustained terrible injuries in a violent shooting. But I'm a patriot, and I believe the right to bear arms is a definitive part of our American heritage.
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.
People have a right to be able to bear arms.
My belief is that if we take away that right to bear arms, the only people that are going to have them are... the ones breaking into your house.
This isn't about deer hunting. The Second Amendment is about our right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves.
I am in support of the NRA position on gun control.
When the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms, it also made us responsible for using them properly. It's not fair of us as citizens to lean more heavily on one side of that equation than on the other.
The most cogent principle that can be drawn from traditional limitations on the right to keep and bear arms is that dangerous persons likely to use firearms for illicit purposes were not understood to be protected by the Second Amendment.
The right to bear arms? What about the right to live?
