I love you Coach, but they are not CONSTITUTIONAL Rights. They are GOD-GIVEN rights.

If they were simply Constitutional Rights, they would alienable. Meaning take-away-able.

Sorry to split hairs, but we have got to take back our language.

Other than that, a typically great essay.

Sec. 23. RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.

Then the first thing that should happen is open carry and recognition of what "arms" are...

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." (Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.)

You want to prevent crime? Then let us openly carry pistols, swords and knives longer than our friggin' fingers!
