Here it must be said that the Second Amendment was not meant to safeguard the right to hunt deer or shoot clay pigeons, or even protect your home and family from an intruder. The right to bear arms stems from the right of revolution<\/a>, which is asserted in the Declaration of Independence and forms the basis of America\u2019s social compact.

That might sound academic or outlandish next to the real-life horror of a school shooting, but the fact remains that we can\u2019t simply wave off the Second Amendment any more than we can wave off the First, or the Fourth, or any of them.

The aim of the Left is to subvert the American constitutional order. This explains why leftists never miss an opportunity to attack the Second Amendment which is the concrete back-up to the First and the others.  A school shooting is a wonderful opportunity for them to recruit schoolchildren and bleeding-heart know-nothings as useful idiots for their cause.<\/span><\/p>\n
