The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” For those who support the Second Amendment, “We Will Not Comply” is a powerful statement of resistance against gun control measures that they believe infringe on their constitutional rights. It is a way to stand up against unjust laws and policies that they believe threaten their freedom and safety.
Enacted in 1789 alongside nine other amendments collectively known as the Bill of Rights, it prohibits the government from infringing upon a “well-regulated Militia.” The Second Amendment has been a contentious topic over the years, with some organizations and Presidential Administrations trying to revoke that right. The Supreme Court issued very few groundbreaking opinions on the topic until 2008. At that time it found that the Second Amendment does, in fact, protect an individual’s right to bear arms.
