Our forefathers wanted it to be as important as the First Amendment as it goes hand in hand with defending our freedoms.

I have no doubt what our great forefathers were thinking when they drafted the Second Amendment. They left no possibility that the People would ever be disarmed. They knew then that "Power" is an illusion with a well armed populace.

It's a right, not a privilege.
Yep, and there's more than just two of us who have that angle on the subject.
