The first ten Amendments to our Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights.
The Second Amendment reads: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the
right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Driving is a privilege, gun ownership is a right. It's extremely healthy to exercise one's rights.
