Political Beliefs
I
have chosen the 2nd Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to discuss
in this assignment.
“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”
I think this Amendment to the
Constitution means that a law-abiding citizen has the right to bear arms for
their own protection as well as family and our nation in time of need. This Amendment protects the right of the
people to keep this right and never lose it.
This Amendment also ensures the means of the people to keep this country
a free country.
This Amendment is important to me
for several reasons. The first being I
enjoy shooting, hunting, and target practice.
I also enjoy the peace of mind that allows me to keep weapons on hand in
case enemies that would do great harm to the American People invade this
country. It also tells me that the
government is willing to compromise when it comes to the will of the people and
their respective rights and freedoms.
This Amendment affects me daily in that I can carry a gun everyday for
the protection of myself and the people around me.
As far as this Amendment’s role in
my interactions with the government and my participation in the U. S. political
process would be, I need to have a background check administered on myself by
the government in order to keep my good standing and my right to keep my
guns. I will vote for the candidate who
supports the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution as opposed to a
candidate who believes no person should have the right to own any type of
gun. I have no references to display;
this was of my own thinking alone.
