Politicians in Connecticut and other states that have either threatened to approve or have already passed new restrictive gun laws have received a fair warning from gun rights activists.
Perhaps the sentiments of gun owners are best expressed by T.L. Davis, who stated,
Those in possession of firearms are not asking the several governments if it is legal for them to have such weapons, they are telling these governments that they are legal and any attempt to confiscate them will be forcefully resisted.Upon what does Davis base his declaration that the firearms possessed by citizens are legal no matter what the federal or state governments say? The answer is simple. The Constitution that created this nation of freedom says that firearms possession is an unalienable right. How do we know that?
Because it is the second of the citizens' rights specifically protected by the Constitution in the Bill of Rights, second only to the First Amendment right to free speech, free assembly, free press, and free religious expression.

Yes, the 2nd Amendment.... and all that comes with it (i.e... the other Amendment) and IMHO what every one is missing is these alleged legislative wizards that took an oath to the Constitution, and accepted wages and compensation in lieu of their office. Have committed treason. They sign their name to a bill that gets passed, gee that is proof enough of a treasonable offense. now according to http://law.justia.com/codes/us/2010/title18/parti/chap115/sec2381
