We stand here today representing over 5,000 Collier county citizens imploring you to protect and preserve our Second Amendment rights, which is under attack by the fast and furious bills being introduced and voted upon in Washington DC.

Article Two of the Bill of Rights, passed in 1791 which reads as followed:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Infringed is the keyword. As defined by Webster's dictionary: Actively break the terms of a law or agreement. How is the government infringing on our Second Amendment rights? Though restrictive, discriminatory, overbearing, and unconstitutional regulations.

Tolerating an overpowering government has been unacceptable since the inception of our great country. The Second Amendment, in the Bill of Rights, was drafted to assure that the people would be protected from an oppressive, tyrannical government. With the current pending legislation, we are headed in that direction. 

Help us maintain our right to keep and bear arms!
