To understand the 2nd Amendment the "right to bear arms," one must understand the historic times in which it was written and ratified. In 1787, Americans still had very strong and traumatic memories about defending themselves and their property from British soldiers. Yesterday, presidential candidate Joe Biden had some very strong words for an auto worker who accused him of wanting to take away Americans' guns. We viewed this brief exchange that took place while Biden was in Michigan yesterday. Biden emphatically and strongly stated that he is a gun owner himself. He said he does not want to eradicate the 2nd Amendment.
