Quote by: brien  In the Declaration of Independence written in 1776 there is a phrase that reads:
"We hold these truths to be self - evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"
Now in the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights, the last phrase reads:
...."the Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Conclusion: The FF identified "Rights" as being endowed by their creator for the citizens under the umbella of the government, so when they use the word Right in the Contitution, it means an unalienable Right endowed by our creator.
The 2nd Amendment, recently upheld in Parker vs District of Columbia, reaffirms this right for citzens to keep and bear arms. |
Thanks for the info, it does shed some light on the details..... one very big detail I would like to point out is this:

This in no way at all means "Firearms" ~ You have no constitutional right to own a firearm, just Arms.... this could be anything..... from a Bow, a Sword..... to friggin Pulsar Phaser Rifles in the future.....
Technically, one could very easily restrict and even ban firearms from your country and not even break the constitution doing it. So long as you still had a means and way of arming yourself.
