There is absolutey no doubt about what the Founding Fathers intent was with the 2nd Amendment. it is evidenced over and over in their writings:

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence." --George Washington

"[T]he people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them."
--Zacharia Johnson, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788

"We established however some, although not all its [self-government] important principles. The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Cartwright, 1824

Comment by Carol G Dawson on March 15, 2009 at 11:17am: Richard: I think the NRA does a fine job with its safety courses. My husband and I just took one from a local chapter..

Comment by Donna Holt (dljholt) on March 15, 2009 at 11:13am: Don't take my word for it. Do some digging and research it before you commit.

Comment by BowlMeOverVa on March 15, 2009 at 11:12am: Although, I love hunting, its not the purpose or reason I support the Second Amendment!

You can help. Remain vigilant.

Thanks Tom!

Comment by Donna Holt (dljholt) on March 15, 2009 at 11:09am: Richard, I would suggest you back out of the NRA in favor of Gun Owners of America. The NRA has been hijacked by anti-gun leaders.

Comment by Donna Holt (dljholt) on March 15, 2009 at 11:02am: If the Supreme Court finds that the D.C. gun ban is a “reasonable” limitation of Second Amendment rights, the Court could create a dangerous precedent for the nation in the future. Such a decision could open the door to further regulation on American citizens’ Second Amendment rights on a large scale.

Obama's dance on gun rights is part of his evolution from the radical young Illinois state legislator he once was. He was recorded in a 1996 questionnaire as advocating a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns (a position he has since disavowed). He was on the board of the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation, which takes an aggressive gun control position, and in 2000 considered becoming its full-time president. In 2006, he voted with an 84 to 16 majority (and against Clinton) to prohibit confiscation of firearms during an emergency, but that is his only pro-gun vote in Springfield or Washington. This latest move, HB1446, requiring a person engaged in the business of selling ammunition to maintain specified records of sales of ammunition; requiring a person who purchases ammunition to present specified identification; requiring the Secretary of State Police to adopt specified regulations; establishing a civil penalty for a violation of the Act; etc.

Comment by Susan Lueckenbach on March 15, 2009 at 10:54am: I will be getting a handgun and concealed carry permit very soon. This guy is trouble!

Comment by Joseph Conli on March 15, 2009 at 10:51am: As we see this current administration chip away at our liberrty, we cannot allow them to take away our fundamental rights such as the 2nd Amendment. Make no mistake, this president will utilize any option to stifle our 2nd Amendment rights to include legislative bans and taxing. Do not let this happen!
