See, I am 110% against gun control and 110% pro gun rights. Greatamerican (and now it appears you also) have made a profound mistake in reading what I wrote as arguing against gun rights; apparently neither of you are capable of grasping the fundamental concepts that I am discussing. My statements are purely pro-constitution and pro-gun rights.


Saying the RKBA is "not granted by the consitution" and that it is not "in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence," is stating that the RKBA is a pre-existing right, the strongest type there is; the founders found the right being exercised freely before the Constitution was crafted and ratified. The RKBA was not "created" by the ratification of the 2nd Amendment . . . the right exists whether the amendment is there or not.

The 2nd Amendment merely recognizes and guarantees the right; IT DOES NOT GRANT, GIVE, CREATE, ESTABLISH OR CONFER THE RIGHT!

Is any of this sinking in?
