   I support the Second Amendment, but . . . .

   But . . . .

   Even if it were repealed tomorrow, by unanimous vote of the full U.S. House, the full U.S. Senate, and all fifty State Legislatures, the right that it was written and ratified to protect, the pre-existing, civil, individual human right to own and carry weapons for defense of self, family and community, doesn’t go away one bit.

   In fact, that’s precisely the sort of situation when you need to be sufficiently equipped and proficient to exercise that right against all aggressors.
