The Constitution, as important as it is, is nothing but a parchment guarantee without the right of Americans to keep and bear arms, to train with those arms, and to form citizen militias.

Our federal government appears to be racing headlong toward socialist banana republic status. Some states (California for example) are doing the same. We must preserve American's rights protected by the Constitution (particularly the 1st and 2nd Amendments) if we are to safeguard our country and our way of life.
