Many elected officials want to take the firearms away from American citizens. The Constitution says the govt can't restrict the ownership of firearms. It is amazing that in a country governed by the rule of law and having elected officials who are SWORN to uphold and defend the Constitution, there is any issue here at all. Vote these folks out and vote in folks who are interested in upholding our rights whether they personally agree with them or not. The 2nd Amendment isn't the only amendment that is ignored but the Constitution is very clear and its intent is obvious except for those who control us and don't like the citizens of this county to be armed.
