I firmly believe in the importance of upholding the Second Amendment, as it not only ensures our individual right to self-defense but also acts as a safeguard against potential government tyranny. Owning a firearm, responsibly, is a part of our nation's history and cultural fabric, and efforts to infringe upon this right should be seen as an assault on our personal freedoms. However, it is equally important to have adequate measures in place to prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands, hence my support for responsible, common-sense gun laws.
