He compares how the NRA hiding behind the First Amendment to protect its false claim that the right to bear arms is not so different from shouting fire in a crowded room. The First Amendment has its limits and should not be used as a shield to spread false ideas. He argues that the NRA believes that the Second Amendment grants all individuals the unconditional right to own firearms. He also believes the NRA is turning a blind eye to safety concerns related to an unregulated gun policy. Sobran uses the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to further solidify his argument. He points out that the use of the Tenth Amendment is that since the Framers did not directly give Congress the power to regulate gun control, they have no power. It asserts that all powers not delegated to the federal government must be vested in the states and the people. Using the Ninth Amendment, Sobran states that the right to self-defense was one of the original rights retained by the government.
