We may have won some of the battles lately, but we haven’t won the war. The anti-gun organizations will not be content until we are totally unarmed and left defenseless. It is up to us to be aware of their attacks on our gun rights and oppose them every step of the way. The Buckeye Firearms Association’s web site will help keep you current on the local and state issues. Web sites such as Thomas Library of Congress, the NRA-ILA, and Gun Law News are excellent sources to keep track of all the federal legislation.

In this second part of a two part series, you will be provided with a brief synopsis of just some of the anti-gun FEDERAL legislation that is being considered by the House. Part One covered just some of the pending pro-gun FEDERAL legislation.

Yet another eye-opening study course has been added to the Buckeye Firearms Association Education Guide.

The Second Amendment Definition of "Arms"

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in its entirety, "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." Today, The gun control debate has bogged down into verbal trench warfare, with opposing camps firing sound bites, infomercials, and lawsuits across no-man's land and not having much to show for it. Interestingly, few people focus much attention on just what they are fighting over. Fortunately, a recent court case seems to have resolved the debate in favor of individual rights view of the Second Amendment, and stands some chance of adoption in other jurisdictions. Assuming that this view becomes the law of the land, a new hot-button issue seems likely to emerge: what do we mean when we speak of the "arms" we are guaranteed the right to keep and bear?
