DID I MISS THAT COMMANDMENT

Tonight, in his victory speech at having won the Republican Nomination for LT. Governor, DAn Patrick all but equated preserving gun rights with being true to GOD. As if The Second Amendment to The United States Constitution is The Second Commandment. Did I miss something? I thought The Second Commandment in Exodus was not to make graven images and Worship them instead of The One True God, and in The Gospels to love our neighbors as ourselves, and there is nothing in The Parable of The Good Semarton about guns or weapons of any kind. So why do Republicans act like "The Right To Bear Arms" comes directly from GOD? Because I do not see anything in THe Bible that supports that theory,although if anyone can show me such a palace, I will be willing to check it out.
