Carrying a Gun Is Part of Being a \u2018Free American\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Breitbart News interviewed Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) at Turning Point USA\u2019s Americafest and he told us carrying guns for self-defense is critical to the American experience because the founders placed such high value on life.<\/p>\n

We asked Biggs, \u201cWhy is it important that I can own a gun, carry a gun, that your wife can own a gun, carry a gun, that my wife can do the same. Why is this important?\u201d<\/p>\n

He responded by pointing out two reasons, the first of which he described as the \u201cphilosophical reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biggs outlined, \u201cThe Founders said this is what we need to have to preserve a free form of government. Their position was, you need to be able to have this militia, this group of citizens, because you don\u2019t want the government to be putting their thumb down on you, because they are just coming out of King George doing that, so that\u2019s number one.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then explained: \u201cThe second thing is when you start talking about my wife or me or someone else, we\u2019re talking about self-defense, and the first liberty is the right to life. So, if you can\u2019t defense yourself against the bad guys you start looking like the 12 cities in America that have the highest homicide rate in their history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biggs added, \u201cYou don\u2019t want to look like that. You don\u2019t want to look like Venezuela. You want to be a free American and the way to be free and reduce crime is to allow people to carry guns.\u201d<\/p>\n
