The right to bear arms is inherent in the right of self-defense, defense of the family, and defense against tyranny. This right is conferred upon the individual and the community by our Creator. It is intended to safeguard life, liberty, and property. It is to preserve the independence of the nation. The Constitution Party upholds the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. 

THE PRINCIPLES

The Second Amendment strictly limits any interference with gun ownership by saying: 

“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.

The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. It may not be infringed upon or denied. 

THE PROBLEM

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have them. In such circumstances, the peaceful citizen’s protection against the criminal would be seriously jeopardized. 

THE SOLUTION

Repeal all federal firearms legislation, beginning with the Federal Firearms Act of 1968. 

Eliminate all government-designated “Gun Free Zones”.

Rescind all executive orders. Prohibit any future executive orders, or treaty ratifications which would limit the right to keep and bear arms. 

THE CONSTITUTION PARTY COMMITMENT

The Constitution Party will work to repeal all federal firearms legislation currently in place.

Our elected officials will actively oppose any attempts to prohibit ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens, and we will work against all laws that would require the registration of guns or ammunition.

To order to insure the safety of the American people and their families, we intend to eliminate all government-designated “Gun Free Zones”, including military bases.
