Gun Control
The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America secures the right of citizens to bear arms. Specifically it states: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. The left wants to eliminate guns from every law abiding citizen because guns are dangerous. Unfortunately, this leaves guns only to criminals. Not a very smart approach to eliminating a constitutional right. A right that has nothing to do with the role of guns in 18th century life. The Founders knew that throughout history, government overreach, as Britain did to their colonies and without the ability to defend themselves, is unrestricted. Give a look at public opinion in Gallup Polls on guns. Give a look at the way law abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves at Armed Citizen. Give a look at gun violence statistics.

A video widely circulated on social media shows bystanders tackling a potential gunman at the rally. That person was taken into custody, police said.

Trey Filter, 40, said he heard what sounded like firecrackers after the rally but wasn’t initially concerned. “We saw that there was a military presence. We could see sharpshooters, so everybody felt fairly safe,” said Filter, who owns an asphalt company in Wichita, Kan. “I told my son, ‘It’s probably not guns.’” He then saw someone run past and heard people say “get him.” “I tackled him and [another] dude was there helping. People were screaming ‘gun, gun,’” he said. His wife, Casey Filter, picked up and moved the dropped gun, which he said was an AK-47 rifle.
