Our Founders clearly recognized the 'right' of self-defense in forging the 2nd Amendment. They recognized that the 2nd Amendment protects all the other Amendments from governmental tyranny, particularly the 1st, 4th, and 5th. If the 2nd Amendment falls, then so will all the others in rapid succession.

And I'm not even a gun owner, but I understand the Founders wisdom of the 2nd

“And I’m not even a gun owner,...”

Why not?

The gun grabbers understand that very well too.

And I'm not even a gun owner

I recognize your liberty to not be a gun owner, but I really want to encourage you to change that.

Even if you never use a gun, it sends a message to others, including government, that you are responsible for your own protection -- against criminals of all types, especially when you consider that the SC has ruled the law enforcement has not responsiblity to protect each person.
