THE SECOND AMENDMENT to the United States Constitution provides:
" . . . the right to bear arms shall not be infringed."
What did the Founding Fathers mean when they added the words "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed"?
Did they mean that ordinary citizens were only guaranteed the right to own muzzle-loading muskets, as the kind that British soldiers used in 1776?
Did they mean that the government could confiscate all the firearms in the land?
No to both of the last two questions.
Kenneth Stepp believes that words in the Constitution, and in a statute, are to be interpreted the same as their usual meaning, when read by ordinary people.
"Infringed" means "messed with". The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution means that the right to bear arms shall not be messed with. The right for ordinary citizens to bear arms is a right given by God, and the Constitution merely codifies that pre-existing right. Kenneth Stepp will vote against gun control laws, and ammunition control laws, too. A vote for Kenneth Stepp is a vote to keep your right to keep and bear firearms. Vote for Kenneth Stepp for Congress, KY-05 Democratic Primary in 2018.
