No Second Amendment, no First : God, guns, and the government / by Zmirak, John,author.(CARDINAL)671110;

Zmirak further shows how today's mounting threats to the gun rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment are inexorably linked to the increasingly brazen attacks by secularists on human dignity as the "image of God."

The story is unchanging: always, the first move of authoritarians is to deny citizens the ability to defend themselves against the tyrannical state. America's Founders, themselves products of a vital Christian tradition where churches served as the nexus for organizing citizens militias for self-defense, were keenly aware of this. It is why they enshrined the Second Amendment as the last backstop against tyranny.
