2. The words of the second amendment

3. Lets look at the first section to the amendment
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state”
Militia- local militant force used to defend a country or region

4. A look into the second part of the amendment
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”
Infringed- encroached or stepped on in any way, shape, or form

5. Who does “people” in the second part of the apply too?
Many anti- gun activists use the argument that “people” only applies to the militia, meaning a national guardsman or soldier
The 4th amendment reads “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

6. Why do we want to protect this amendment?
For the protection of ourselves and others.
200,000 women use a firearm each year to defend themselves from sexual assult

Possession of handguns is illegal in the UK
2,034 violent crimes per 100,000 people in the UK compared to 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people in the US
After the ban of handguns in the UK, violent crimes rose 77%
Most violent crimes in the UK now are committed using kitchen knives, calling for a ban, in the UK, of long pointed kitchen knives

Firearms always kill people

13. I know I want to protect my family, do you?
Average police response time is 8-10 minutes
