Standing Firm – The Second Amendment Belongs to Everyone
St. Paul’s talk about flipping on “local gun restrictions” the second state preemption lifts is exactly the kind of overreach the Constitution forbids. The right to keep and bear arms is not granted by government – it is recognized and protected by the Constitution, and it shall not be infringed. Politicians don’t get to decide when, where, or how peaceable citizens may exercise a fundamental right.
Equal rights mean exactly that
The Second Amendment doesn’t care about your skin color, creed, religion, gender, or who you love. Black, white, brown, Asian. Gay, straight, trans. Male, female. Every peaceable person holds the same natural right to keep and bear arms for self-defense and to resist tyranny. Chip away at that right for one group – you’ve chipped it away for all.
What this means for our community
Local bans on commonly owned firearms, parts, or accessories are unconstitutional, unworkable, and unfair to the very people who follow the law. These measures don’t touch criminals – they burden responsible citizens. We won’t pretend otherwise.
