Our Gun Culture

Firearms….. This is a “hot button” but it is one of many ways that as law-abiding citizens we may choose to protect ourselves, our families and our community from those intent on doing evil.

Our right to bear arms has been under attack since the first accidental shooting.
Within the US Constitution lies a phrase…. inalienable rights….and these are defined as certain universal rights which cannot be taken away by legislation.


These inalienable rights are to

  • Life
  • Liberty
  • Pursuit of happiness

These rights are conveyed to every American at birth, and they are retained throughout our life.


According to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Second Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution confers an individual right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful
purposes such as self-defense.

All in all, we have the right to defend ourselves, our loved ones, our property, and should the need arise, our nation.


Recent random shootings demonstrate the need for the law-abiding citizens to exercise their
right to carry a weapon at all times, in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

As was witnessed at the beginning of 2020 when a law-abiding gun owner, who had been properly trained, stopped the Texas church shooting by taking action and thereby saving many lives.

We do not believe that guns are not the issue. The shooter with evil intentions is the issue. Man
has been killing man since the beginning of time. The first murder recorded is found in the Bible
where Cain killed Abel with a stone. Since then men have killed with knives, swords, spears,
hammers, rope, fire and vehicle, so it is not about the gun, it is about who is holding it.

People who are unable to defend themselves where a shooting is taking place are also known
as victims
