Recently we have seen a lot of news about Red Flag Laws. News such as: they are unconstitutional, they are a gateway to registration and confiscation, they violate the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendments, and lots more.

Some of what we see, hear, and read is truth, but there’s a lot of rhetoric on both sides of this issue. I’ve reposted some news articles and blogs related to the subject and have seen a pretty big spike in traffic on our Facebook page with several comments, some private messages, texts, emails, and some phone calls discussing this topic.

Well thought out article from The Truth About Guns on the 2nd amendment and what it really means.

“I have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms!”

“The 2nd amendment is my gun permit!”

“State gun laws violate the 2nd amendment!”

Most of the people who utter these words are well-intended. They are very passionate about their right to keep and bear arms, but I can’t help but wonder if they truly understand where rights come from or what the 2nd amendment means . . .
