The Second Amendment

• The right to bear arms

• Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense

• This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives

• “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” - Thomas Jefferson
