The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects a right to keep or bear arms.
"We're in a war. The other side knows they are at war, because they started it," said Larry Pratt, president of the Gun Owners of America. "They are coming for our freedom, for our money, for our kids, for our property. They are coming for everything because they are a bunch of socialists."
As you can see many gun owners are feeling like their constitutional rights are being taken away and they feel the need to be armed in the presences of the "other side" which most likely refers to the middle eastern people of Iraq.
The people that rallied were not just in fear of losing their 2nd right amendments but they are very dissatisfied with the way things are heading in Washington due to the fact that they are losing their right to bear arms.
In virginia where the rally is taking place is legal to carry certain weapons but illegal in the district of columbia. This really offends the protesters since they want definitive power to carry or bare arms in any state which they choose to go to.
The opponents of these people seem to be very worried by the way that there are really no new proposals coming from the white house about gun laws or gun control.
I believe these people are acting irrational since the supposed threat of terrorist is not really there. It is all a psychological issue that they need to get over.
There rights are really not being taken away from any angle that you see it from because they are still allowed to carry certain weapons in the state that they live in. This should be enough for these people to compromise with because it isn't necessary for people in the United States to walk around arm since we do have the highest death count due to guns than any other countries in the world. Its ridiculous that these people are complaining about things that are still given to them but in a limited amount
