“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.”
Citizens for a Constitutional Republic oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, regulating or requiring the ownership, manufacture, transfer or sale of firearms or ammunition. We oppose all laws requiring registration of firearms or ammunition. We support repeal of all gun control laws. We demand the immediate abolition of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
We believe that the private ownership of firearms is part of the solution to America“s crime epidemic, not part of the problem. Evidence: law-abiding citizens in Florida have been able to carry concealed weapons since 1987. During that time, the murder rate in Florida has declined 21% while the national murder rate has increased 12%.
The District of Columbia has just experienced its lowest total number of homicides in 45 years. This was also the first full year after the D.C. handgun ban was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, and therefore the first year that city residents were able to maintain handguns legally in their homes.
In addition, evidence shows that self-defense with guns is the safest response
to violent crime. It results in fewer injuries to the defender (17.4% injury
rate) than any other response, including not resisting at all (24.7% injury
rate). We Should repeal waiting periods, concealed carry laws, and
other restrictions that make it difficult for victims to defend themselves,
and end the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of
self-defense.
Right now at the U.N., foreign governments are working hand-in-glove with anti-gun groups from around the globe and multi billion dollar foundations to create a binding, formal international treaty that supersedes your right to keep and bear arms.
America must protect itself from the impending totalitarianism which is emanating from the UN.
Currently, the UN is in the process of trying to control firearms around the world. This threat to our
Constitutional 2nd Amendment is being addressed now by the GOA.Gun Owners of America
Unless we can close our borders soon and get our immigration anarchy situation under control
the future of the 2nd Amendment will be in serious jeopardy. The overwhelming influx of foreign
invaders will swell the ranks of the anti-gun groups and take our rights away at the ballot box.

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the
power of government. Far from it. We have staked the future of
all our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us to
govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
— James Madison (1751-1836) Fourth President of the United
States.
One of the most common arguments gun-prohibitionists use is that the term "militia" in the Second Amendment refers to States' right to maintain an army -- that is, the National Guard.
We all know better, and here's proof. From the 1771 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. You can see a scan of the whole page, plus the cover page, in PDF format here.
The definition of militia reads:
MILITIA, in general, denotes the body of soldiers, or those who make profession of arms.
.....In a more restrained sense, militia denotes the trained bands of a town or country, who arm themselves, upon a short warning,
for their own defence. So that, in this sense, militia is opposed to regular or stated troops.
.....For the direction and command of the militia, the king constitutes lords-lieutenants of each country.
