Tulsi Gabbard was a Reserve officer in the Army, which made her realize the importance of safety and being responsible with firearms. When Gabbard was in Congress, she initially supported "common sense" gun restrictions and regulations, however that stance has changed after considering the real motives behind the infringements.
“Once you start peeling back the surface, you understand that for a lot of folks who are using those words [gun control], they don't have good intentions at all,” said Tulsi. Thankfully, she has come to realize that the Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment to prevent the government from becoming too powerful and oppressive.
“Our founders intended the Second Amendment to be a check on the abuse of power by a tyrannical government, . . .”
Amendment II
"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."
(I bolded the last 4 words - - they are VERY important)
It's good that Tulsi Gabbard finally understands the scope and purpose of the Second Amendment . . . i.e., to be a check on the abuse of power by a tyrannical government, and also that infringements OF ANY KIND are prohibited - - even "common sense" infringements.
