Massie corrects anti-gunner who says no one died from lack of 2A rights-
[bearingarms.com]
The Second Amendment affords each and every one of us the right to keep and bear arms as a means to defend ourselves against tyranny, but also against criminals. The Founding Fathers weren’t exactly removed from the era of Indian attacks on frontier families, after all. They knew that guns were about more than just shooting enemy soldiers.
Some forget that. Others see it as a racial thing rather than recognizing that the founders were worried about any attacks, not just those perpetrated by people of a certain skin color.
Most, however, don’t even think about it. To them, it’s just a non-issue.
While testifying before Congress, Timothy Jenkins, a board member for Teaching for Change, made an extraordinary claim. He argued that no one had ever died because their Second Amendment rights had been deprived.
Unfortunately for Mr. Jenkins, Rep. Thomas Massie was present.
That may be true but plenty of people die because of second amendment rights. Rights should end as soon as they infringe on the rights of others.
People don't die because of 2A rights, people die because other people are mentally disturbed and or have personal issues. Take away the rights of the offenders, not mine. Besides, even if guns weren't around people would use other objects/tools to injure or murder others.
