Issue Position: Second Amendment

Issue Position

I favor the 2nd amendment as it was understood by the founders as a guarantee of the individual right and liberty of self-defense, and the right of the people to secure the liberty of our constitutional republic. Since the founders understood the militia to be the total populace (except perhaps, the very elderly), it should be understood in modern English as this exact equivalent: "A well armed populace being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of individuals to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
