The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People have to be armed to have power, you see.
People have a right to be able to bear arms.
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.
Every state has not only the right but the duty to make adequate provision for its own defense in the way it thinks best, providing it does not do so at the expense of any other 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.
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
As far as military necessity will permit, religiously respect the constitutional rights of all.
Our pre-9/11 gun laws allow our enemies in the War on Terror to arm themselves right here in our own country.
We are proudly a gun state and respect the Second Amendment.
