Once a government effectively takes away the right of it’s citizens to keep and bear arms, it no longer has to worry about repercussions from any of it’s actions.
If the colonies had given up their firearms, as ordered by the British crown, we would not have a United States of America today.
The Second Amendment was designed to protect us from that.
By insuring that the people had the means to abolish any government that had exceeded it’s bounds, the founding fathers were also insuring that our government would continue to be a “government of the people, by the people and for the people”, and that it could only govern with the “consent of the governed”.
Once the means for the removal of a government are taken away, then the Constitution becomes a farce.
The Founders intended for the people to be the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, and thus we have the Second Amendment.

I thank you, and millions of Americans thank you for your courage and support of the 2nd Amendment.
When taken in context with the Declaration of Independence concerning the removal or abolishment of a government that had outlived it’s usefulness, or had exceeded the bounds of it’s authority, it is quite obvious that the founding fathers intended that the right of “individuals” to keep and bear arms was paramount in their minds when drafting this particular amendment.

I am pleased that the Washington Post emphasized the constitutional aspect of our lawsuit. My major regret is that our lead counsel, Alan Gura, didn’t receive the credit he deserves. Alan has worked for next-to-minimum-wage and has been our legal superstar. Parker v. DC prevailed in major part because of Alan’s prodigious efforts.
