Second Amendment Rights

"The right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect oneself from tyranny in government."
                                    -Thomas Jefferson

Ron Paul understands this concept, and strongly supports the continued restoration of rights to law-abiding gun owners.  Without the second amendment protecting our inalienable rights to life, liberty and property, we would have no way of preventing anyone from taking away those rights.  And, while most people tend to overlook it, the Militia clause is equally important, as it protects the rights of the states, keeping federal power in check. Our founding fathers included this Amendment for a reason, and it is up to us to ensure that it stays alive.
