Every citizen has the right to defend themselves from threats against their life liberty and pursuit of happiness.  The only effective way to defend yourself from an armed attacker is through use of equivalent or superior force. Firearms are the only tool that is an equalizer across all ages, creeds, races, and physiques. An attack on the right to carry and bee and attack on the right to carry and bear modern equalizings weapons is an attack on ones right to self defense, and an infringement on the second amendment.
