Petition Asks White House to Recognize Second Amendment Does Not ‘Give’ a Right
By David Codrea
U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- Wednesday’s AmmoLand article correcting a pro-gun writer on his presumption that the Second Amendment grants the right to keep and bear arms resonated with most of the readers commenting so far. They appear to share the clear understanding that no one in government gave us that right so it is not theirs to take away.
Surprisingly though, a Facebook colleague has alerted us to a surprising source that just doesn’t get it: The White House.
Per its explanation of the Constitution:
“The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.”
A facepalm is in order. Especially after all the fine words on the right to keep and bear arms from President Trump:
“[Y]ou have an administration fighting to protect your Second Amendment, and we will protect your Second Amendment,” he promised NRA members. “Your Second Amendment rights are under siege, but they will never, ever be under siege as long as I’m your president.”
