We've got a second amendment right. I think some people forget that.

You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.

The Second Amendment is an integral part of the Bill of Rights.

We need to get some rationality on the Second Amendment. This is crazy what we allow ourselves.

We have to fulfill what the real meaning of the Second Amendment is: reasonable access to guns for self-protection and for hunting. And there's no room in America for these semiautomatic, automatic and other kinds of weapons that are simply designed to cause mass havoc.

The Second Amendment is a constitutional right. I didn't make it up, the Republican Party didn't make it up. It's in the Constitution. I think it's just as important as any of the other rights in our constitution.

It would be refreshing to have a politician try to defend guns without any reference to the Second Amendment, but on the merits of guns.

Those who drafted and ratified the Second Amendment were undoubtedly aware that the right they were establishing carried a risk of misuse, and States have considerable latitude to regulate the exercise of the right in ways that will minimize that risk. But States may not seek to reduce the danger by curtailing the right itself.

For two decades the state has been taking liberties, and these liberties were once ours.

The very purpose of the Second Amendment is to stop the government from disallowing people the means to defend themselves against tyranny. Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible.
