The free, responsible exercise of our God-given rights is not contingent upon polls, statistics, public sentiment, media propaganda, judicial precedent, or the crimes of the lawless. The founders added no provisos to any of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights; the words “but” or “except for” appears nowhere within the text of any of them. That being said, I challenge anyone who feels otherwise to show me where the free, responsible exercise of the right to keep and bear arms has never harmed an innocent person.
