Then came the ban on a large number of long guns, and Bush let the ban expire because the evidence revealed that the nation did not was not safer and that there was no increase in massacres after ten years. For leftists, handguns represented everything that was bad about the Second Amendment. The unvarnished truth is that leftists believe the very existence of the Second Amendment is malicious. Hidden licenses are under constant attack. By declaring gun-free zones and limiting where one can legally carry a gun, the tyrants hope to make the measures so restrictive that they will render concealed carry permits worthless. Such a limit, declaring schools “gun-free zones” to prevent shootings, could only be imagined and enforced by the most naive, ignorant, and convoluted liberal minds. Some notable quotes from Obama, the anti-self-defense president, should tell everyone where the left-wing leader stands: • "I am consistently and will continue to be on record opposed to concealed carry." I believe in keeping guns away from our home."
