The Gazette took a second swipe at the Second Amendment this past Sunday, asking, “The Bill of Rights gives us the right to bear arms and the right to assemble peacefully ... does it give us the right to do both at the same time?”
The question is based on the false premise that the First and Second Amendments conflict with one another. In truth, one cannot exist without the other; You have no rights that you can’t defend. The Second Amendment is the one right that guarantees all others, leveling the playing field for the weak vs. the strong. |

| Wrong. Bill of Rights does not "give" us the right to bear arms. It protects that right from the government. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
