This whole charade highlights a severe misunderstanding of the entire Bill of Rights. The First 10 Amendments were not written with a theme of “the people get to this, and this, and that.” Rather, they were written to list the main actions the government (and many times specifically congress) were NOT ALLOWED to do. Those framers were so very self aware. Knowing many of them would be members of said Congress and that unchecked power tends to run away, the placed limits on themselves before they ever entered the halls.
And I’m not splitting hairs as to wording. There is a HUGE difference between “the people can have guns,” and “government cannot infringe on the people’s natural right to own guns.”
Sadly there many in our nation who view the Bill of Rights in the reverse of their purpose.
