95. 2nd amendment
Thats the problem with you liberals. You know nothing of history. You still believe that the 2nd amendment is about hunting. The 2nd amendment was never about hunting, it doesn't even mention hunting. Why did the founders believe the PEOPLE needed firearms at that time? For protection. Not just against criminals, but also against a TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT of the like that we had just defeated. How did we defeat a huge army like the British had? Because the citizens were armed. What good do the rest of the Bill of Rights do us if we cannot enforce them? If we are disarmed then the government can do whatever it pleases, just ask the citizens of Germany back in 1933. Again its all about HISTORY. I know the schools today no longer teach real history or god forbid they might offend someone, but We cant escape our past.
