Sen. Tester on the clearness of the 2nd Amendment

Senator Jon Tester D-Montana defends our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

A quote from a great American and Democrat about the need to protect gun rights.

"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizen to bear arms is just one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."
—Hubert Humphrey, 1960
