The Second Amendment of the US Constitution says, “…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” I am a member of the NRA and I believe we must abide by the Framers’ intention and protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to bear arms for purposes of sport and self-defense. Taking away our second amendment rights will not put an end to crime and mass shootings. It has been said, “guns do not kill people, people do.” The sources of mass shootings are systemic, cultural, and spiritual in nature, and attempting to remove guns from American society will only make it easier for persons with evil intent to perpetrate evil than is the case now.
In support of these points, I urge the reader to view the two short videos below of a Texas church shooting in 2019 wherein the shooter was taken down almost immediately by the church’s own armed security team members. If this had happened in a church/jurisdiction where self-defense weapons were prohibited, one can only imagine the carnage the shooter would have caused. https://nypost.com/2019/12/29/texas-church-shooting-leaves-2-dead/
