As we mark the anniversary of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), it is an opportune, yet ironic, time to celebrate the fundamental values of liberty and individual rights enshrined in the Second Amendment.
Today, we commemorate 15 years since the landmark Supreme Court decision of DC v. Heller, which reaffirmed the fundamental right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. This anniversary serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our Second Amendment rights and the enduring impact of this crucial ruling. From its inception, the Second Amendment has played a pivotal role in safeguarding our liberties and protecting our individual freedoms.
