We do not treat any other right as listed in the constitution the same way the 2nd Amendment gets treated. We do not place prior restraint upon our rights to speech, worship, illegal search and seizure, due process, or any others, EXCEPT our right to keep and bear arms. For THAT right, and ONLY that right, we must first ask permission from the State to bear a firearm in a concealed fashion in public. We must ask the State for a PERMIT to exercise a RIGHT. As a free American, I find that unacceptable.

The Supreme Court of the United States, apparently, agrees. Justice Thomas, in his opinion on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, wrote "The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not 'a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees."

Let's offer up some talking points and sound bytes that people might find useful as they fight to secure their rights across the nation.
