“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,”

It should be noted that the 2A does not GIVE us any rights - the RIGHT to bear arms was UNDERSTOOD by the founders to be a fact - it was obvious, INNATE.

What leftists like Olmos misunderstand or deny, is that the 2A simply INFORMS what the Govt CAN’T DO - it can’t INFRINGE on our right.

The operative phrase is “God Given,” not Innate!

Our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, says our rights are given us by our creator.
