    It took me a lot of traveling and living abroad to make me appreciate the landmark genius of the Bill of Rights. Americans, don’t take this special document for granted. Yes that especially includes the second amendment.

    I really dig the animation style! Anyway, I think this should be taught more in schools. Really important and more Americans should have the knowledge to understand how important this is.

    I believe the second amendment was not just to defend against the British, but to defend not only are first amendment but every right but every right that we as Americans are given. We have the most inflated budget of any other military in history yet, it’s the second amendment that gives the people a sense of hope and a fighting chance to defend our rights from an elitist power that tries to corrupt what has been given to us, and what, so many take for granted.
