Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- Progressive infatuation with gun control and population disarmament stems from their foundational premises about the nature of reality.Progressivism was born out of the end of the frontier and of frustrations with the restraints of the Constitution. Politicians wanted more power than the Constitution allowed.

They rejected the entire theory of natural rights and the idea that governments exist by the consent of the governed.

To Progressives, the Second Amendment is simply a wrong idea, long discredited, that should either be ignored, re-defined as meaningless, or removed from the body of law. They do not believe in natural law or individual rights. The Second Amendment is simply a political inconvenience.

The Second Amendment limits government power. The belief in natural law, that the Second Amendment is based on, defies, and is in direct contradiction, to the theory of Progressivism. The idea that people have a right and the ability, to rule themselves is treated by Progressives as absurd.
