The right of the individual to protect and defend themselves is the most basic of fundamental rights. The second amendment was positioned at the top of the Bill of Rights because of the importance of the citizen’s self-protection from tyranny or assault.
Many politicians in both major parties have tried to destroy this right and it is the duty of all Americans to make their representatives uphold the Constitution and defend our ability to keep liberty.
I believe the right to carry and the right to carry concealed and the choice of armament should be left to the individual to decide. An armed citizenry is and will always be the best way to detour domestic crimes while discouraging any foreign invaders.
Sincerely, Robert Taylor
County Chair of the Libertarian Party of Coos County
Libertarian Candidate for State House District 1
