Right to Bear Arms

                Slowly our govenment is pushing the thought of taking away one of our rights that could possibly mean making an impact on our safety.  Not only is this just humanly wrong, but it  is also completley unconstitutional. Our fore fathers wrote the constitution for our protection, and we are entitled to these basic rights. I just can not fathom the thought of people letting the government take their rights away without considering those who it may affect.
              Do the " big people" sittin up there in washington have the right to take away rights of citizens throughout the U.S when they do not have a clue what trully goes on where the normal citizens live? For hundreds of years now we have had our basic rights that ensure our freedom in America, but with government currently argueing back and forth about taking these away how can we be sure that those rights are safe anymore? " The White Houses recent announcement, they will use executive orders and executive actions to infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms, is an unconstitutional and unconscionable attack on the very founding principles of this republic," (yahoo news). It is some what of a relief to know that there are people fighting for the smaller people, and are making sure that our rights do not get smothered under this political fire; however, we as citizens can also help by speaking up on our nations behalf.
             People who just dismiss our rights being taken away the same as they dismiss a fly that has been buzzing around their head just strikes me as odd. Obviously these people have no clue what that would mean, but I believe that the people out there with common sense will stand up against the goverment stomping our rights in the dirt." I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary," (yahoo news). What would you choose: a world with people who are free to protect themselves and their families against crimainals who, no matter the laws, will get their hands on a deadly weapon, or  a world where the criminals rule due to the fact that the law abiding citizens have nothing to protect themselves with. Respect the constitution, respect the fact that you have rights to protect your freedom, and stand up against such an unfair government action.
