This right has been limited ever since the Sandy Hook incident. Obama and other people with the government has said their opinions about it. "We're a nation that believes in the Second Amendment, and I believe in the Second Amendment.

My belief is that we have to enforce the laws we've already got, make sure that we're keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill. We've done a much better job in terms of background checks, but we've got more to do when it comes to enforcement. But weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don't belong on our streets. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.

Abraham Lincoln was one of the best presidents America has ever had and has even done the biggest things in America and that is to obalish slavery. "On the question of liberty, as a principle, we are not what we have been.
