WXIX-TV Tucson reporter Ben Swann takes a look at what he called the "politically incorrect" truth about the Second Amendment. In his "Reality Check" segment for the local FOX affiliate, Swann explains the true intention behind the Second Amendment.

"This is where American history becomes very politically incorrect because the Second Amendment was not drafted for hunting, or just self defense from an attacker. The Second Amendment was put into place to guarantee the rights of the individual to be equally armed as military, both foreign and domestic, in the event that the citizenry might actually, at some point, have to fight their own government," explained Swann.

........"The Second Amendment is about making sure the population would not be controlled, dominated or oppressed by a government," Swann explained. "It's not my place to tell you what the Founders were thinking, or what they would be thinking today. But the principle of what they put into place had nothing to do with the kind of weapon they were guaranteeing, it was simply about matching force."

What dont they get about the 2nd amendment? I feel that the people are getting tired of this gun control stuff already and there is going to be a more aggressive stance to defend 2A. It sounds like people are tired of the "Change" this country is moving toward..

Why is it that we need a lobby group such as NRA (which i belong to and respect) when the 2nd Amendment is a RIGHT as all the other rights that make this country so great... You dont see a group to prtect the 4th or 6 amendment ect..... I think we need to have that "Out of my cold dead hands" Attitude or we will lose by being passive and nice..
