The Second Amendment is Worth Protecting -- Colin's Last Stand (Episode 49)
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution outlines an American’s right to keep and bear firearms. It’s a contentious right -- especially in the wake of terrible mass shootings -- but it’s important to keep in mind why the Second Amendment exists in the first place, and to remind society-at-large that we shouldn’t be so eager to throw away sacred privileges at the cornerstone of our society and way of life.
