The Second Amendment, Preserving the Inalienable Right

The Second Amendment, Preserving the Inalienable Right of Individual Self-Protection David Barton The Second Amendment has today become one of the most controversial parts of the Constitution. Gun opponents claim that "the right to keep and bear arms" is a right that belongs only to the police and military. However, the Founding Fathers who wrote the Second Amendment in 1789 disagreed. Read their words and examine their early laws and State constitutions on this subject. The conclusion is inescapable that the guarantees of the Second Amendment pertain to every citizen individually. Furthermore, learn of the Founders' timeless proposals made two centuries ago on how to deal with the gun violence that today shatters communities and causes the loss of innocent life. About the Author David Barton is President of WallBuilders, an organization dedicated to the restoration of the values upon which America was built and which, in recent years, have been seriously attacked and undermined. As so accurately stated by George Washington, David believes that "the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained." 96 pages, paperback.
