It is articles like the one published yesterday by The Hill, written by Tim Devaney entitled “Gun Owners Not Likely to use Firearms for Self-defense Study Claims,” that make me wonder if we’ve lost sight of what our constitution says about our right to bear arms. It’s not just our right to defend our physical selves, but our right to protect ourselves from the government itself.
Let’s take a look at the constitution:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. As ratified by Thomas Jefferson; “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Don’t get me wrong; I appreciate Devaney's attempt at getting a response from an NRA Spokesperson Jennifer Barker. However, the research and thought concluded from this article are missing.
Is it me or has journalism become more like a twitter feed?
