Judge Napolitano: Second Amendment 'protects your right to shoot tyrants'

In a video published Thursday on the Gretawire blog, Andrew Napolitano, the senior judicial analyst for Fox News, said the Second Amendment allowed Americans to kill "tyrants."

"You know with all the debate about guns, I've been doing some writing and doing a lot of thinking, and Greta and the rest of us at Fox want to know what you think about it," the former New Jersey Superior Court Judge said. "The Constitution specifically and directly insulates the right to keep and bear arms from interference from the government. It could not be more clear: '...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.'"

"So since the Congress can't change the Constitution, how could they possibly take away your right to keep and bear arms?" Napolitano continued. "Here's the dirty little secret about the Second Amendment, the Second Amendment was not written in order to protect your right to shoot deer, it was written to protect your right to shoot tyrants if they take over the government. How about chewing on that one."
