Correct answer # 4: Protects the right to keep and bear Arms.
The Strongest Possible Restrictive Language
First and Second Amendment protections were always given the very strongest possible restrictive language – no law shall be passed – shall make no law – inviolable – not be deprived or abridged – not be restrained – shall not be infringed – nor shall the right be infringed – shall make no laws touching – shall make no laws to infringe. The Second Amendment’s -right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” language was clearly not intended to allow for extensive reasonable regulation. Rather, it was intended to prevent all laws and regulations that would result in the people being deprived, abridged, restrained, narrowed, or restricted in the exercise of their fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

Radical Marxist Kyrsten Sinema is upset with HB 2770. She claims that it is a “Nanny State” bill. The statement is laughable coming from her. Her Goldwater rating for 2009 was a D-, a slight improvement of her usual F rating.

Legislation aimed at giving county sheriffs and other county officers full control over their budgets failed to get the nod of a Senate panel on Feb. 10.
The bill, S1017, would have required that a county’s board of supervisors appropriate lump sum funds to county officers, such as the sheriff, the recorder, the country attorney and the treasurer.
The measure also stipulates that an elected county officer has the “full authority and discretion” how to perform that office’s statutory or constitutional duties, and that all “necessary or implied power or authority of a county office is reserved to each elected county officer.”

PHOENIX – On Monday, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) appointed David Braswell to represent District 6 in the Arizona Senate, filling the post vacated by Republican Pamela Gorman, who resigned to run for the U.S. House of Representatives following Rep. John Shadegg’s announcement that he would not be seeking reelection.
In a press release issued Monday morning announcing the selection of Braswell, Supervisor Andy Kunasek stated, “We had three excellent candidates sent to us by the District 6 precinct committeemen. Any one of them would have served the state well, but I felt Mr. Braswell, as a small business owner, was the best pick for our state at this time.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Jim Waring, R-Dist. 7, who will be termed-out in the Senate and was running for state treasurer prior to Shadegg’s announcement, decided he would scrap his plans for treasurer and he too would run for Shadegg’s seat in Arizona’s third congressional district.
That meant LD7 also needed to elect three Republican candidates so the BOS could select one to fill the balance of Waring’s term.
LD7 held a special meeting on Feb. 4 for that purpose.
Yesterday, USA Today ran an editorial on the Obama administration’s handling of terrorism, writing: “Officials’ handling of Christmas Day attack looks like amateur hour.” Graciously given the space to respond to this charge, Obama administration Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan replied: “Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda.”
Got that? The Obama administration considers any criticism of its national security policies, even from as benign a source as USA Today, as serving “the goals of al-Qaeda.” And the problems with Brennan’s letter don’t end there:
