The Right to Keep and Bear Arms isn't just a second amendment right... So many people loose sight that the right to protect yourself is a inalienable human right that has a long history dating back to time immorial.

It doesnt take much research to find example after example in history of nations and states of all sizes recognizing that every individual was allowed to bear arms for personal protection and in some cases a level of personal protection was required by law.

Men and women through the middle ages and prior ages not only carried firearms but various knives, swords, pins and all manner of improvised weapons.

The 2A is an acknowledges our history that defense is a right that transends time and age. The ability to protect ones self and ones loved ones and the right to bear arms capable of providing such protection are as natural as the air we breath and without such a right no man nor woman can truly ever be free.
