What’s unfolding in Ukraine is an illustration of why we need to defend the Second Amendment vigorously, writes Evan Hafer.
Last week, the Ukrainian Parliament passed a law liberalizing the possession and carrying of firearms by civilians, and President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would give weapons to anyone willing to fight. In his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, President Joe Biden blamed his administration’s crime problem on legal gun owners and wants to make it harder for law-abiding citizens to bear arms.
What’s unfolding in Ukraine is an illustration of why we need to defend the Second Amendment vigorously. The Left would have you believe that nothing in the U.S. Constitution provides an individual the right to own a firearm. In the words of Justice Clarence Thomas, they have made the Second Amendment a"constitutional orphan."
Times change, but principles should not. America is fortunate to have the greatest armed forces in history and to be separated from potential adversaries by two oceans. But the founding fathers lived at a time when the country’s security wasn’t guaranteed by either factor and they wrote the Second Amendment to protect against future instability. The situation in Ukraine is proof they were right to do so.
