Veterans and Military Members in Support of the Second Amendment

this is a 'right' not a suggestion.

I served in the USAF during the Viet Nam era and see this issue as the life or death of America.

USA

beware of the tyrant who would in slave all of us.

Shall not be infringed

Leave my guns alone!

Whereas, certain former military officers – specifically Generals David Petraeus and Stanley McChrysal and Commander Scott Kelly – have recently formed an anti-Second Amendment, pro-gun control group to fund and support efforts to strip their fellow citizens of their inherent right to keep and bear arms; and, Whereas, the said group speaks of “Gun Violence,” a misleading term that deflects personal responsibility away from the criminal; and Whereas the organizers of the said group exhibit a serious ignorance or lack of understanding of existing federal, state and local laws as these relate to firearms; and Whereas, use of firearms in defense of self and family by law-abiding individuals is to be encouraged and protected; and, Whereas, the Second Amendment does not create any right, but merely acknowledges and guarantees an inherent, God-given Natural Law right of self-defense; and, Whereas, the Second Amendment was written and adopted as an integral part of the Constitution of the United States to protect individual citizens from a coercive and tyrannical state; and Whereas all members of the Armed Forces of the United States, including the aforementioned officers, have taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States including, by definition, the right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment; and Whereas that right is under serious assault by these individuals, organizations like Michael Bloomberg’s and George Soros’s anti-Constitutional entities, and, Democratic leaders; and, Whereas the Second Amendment is worthy of our constant and continued protection; and, Whereas, in order to buttress that and all inherent rights under Natural Law, we hereby utilize our First Amendment right "to petition the government for redress of grievances" in order to secure our unfettered right to bear arms in defense of self and tyranny; NOW THEREFORE, the following current and former members of the Armed Forc

I support our Constitution, especially the second amendment.

Once they take one away what's to stop them from taking other Constitutional rights away.

The Second Amendment protects all the others from the tyrannical, no-longer-representative government we have allowed to exist for far too long. If yoy think that the roughly 300,000,000 law-abiding gun owners are going to peacefully just give up our right to bear arms in defense of ourselves, our homes, and our families, you are mistaken. Once the citizenry is disarmed the government can do whatever they want without fear of the former citizens, now subjects. When the government fears the populace, there is freedom. When the populace fears the government, there is tyranny. I, for one, will not stand idly by and let it happen.

USMC RETIRED

The rights shall not be infringed!

God Bless America. And, God preserve the Republic.

If someone has to ask permission it's not a "Right", it has become a "Privilege". The 2nd Amendment is a "Right" not a "Privilege".

Hell yes

This We'll Defend

Infringed......it is only in the 2nd Amendment and it is there for a reason!

Th second amendment must be pretty important, second only to freedom of speech. Not only for protection from criminals determined to harm me and my family, but to protect us from a tyrannical government.

I didn't give my blood, sweat an tears for these liberal pansy asses to take away my right to self protection! Bring it!
