The Humanitarian Party strongly supports The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution (part of the United States Bill of Rights).

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.

Every human being should have the right to protect their family and property from harm. Having a right to bear arms is a basic human right that should not be infringed.

At the same time we need strict background checks to stop people with mental illness and a history of violent felonies should not be allowed to purchase or own fire arms.
