2010 Candidates – Rex Watkins – Governor

SECOND AMENDMENT

The Second Amendment to the Constitution is the one that protects the other amendments. If “We the people” don’t have the ability to protect ourselves, our families, our properties, our communities, and our country, we can expect another person, our government, or another government, to bully us around and tell us what to do.

I believe the right to protect one’s family and property is a God-given right. Any effort by government to usurp that right or the ability to exercise that right is a reduction of my standing as a human being.

The Second Amendment is about much more than hunting or sport shooting. It is about much more than a militia. It is about the right of a free people to defend against any foe, domestic or foreign.
If elected Governor of Oregon I will never sign any legislation that reduces or takes away that right.
