The Right to Bare Arms predates the Bill of Rights. It is a guarantee that government can not take that Right away, and that the Right EXISTS as a stated fact.
Paul Revere's ride was the first US/local gun grab attempt, and it has never stopped. (And it likely never will).
Help me understand your statement. I thought the Second Amendment was part of the Bill of Rights.
P
Rights as enumerated and codified in the Bill of Rights/Constitution are not "given...bestowed...privileges" or whatever. They are rights thought to exist in nature and be immutable. As such they are "recognized". IOW everybody has the right to defend themselves and an outgrowth of that is the tool or tools to do so. The best tool is usually the gun.
As 700 has said, much has been lost already. Lately we have actually taken some ground back. Even letting these pussies talk about "taking our rights away" is bad.
