I disabused one of my colleagues on this once. He stated “the 2nd Amendment give you the right..”- and I cut him off right there. “No, it recognizes a right that already exists. The Bill of Rights is a sheet of paper- the rights that are on it you have regardless if it exists or not.” He looked at me funny and then shut up.

The Bill of Rights LIMITS the role of THE FEDERAL Government BUT GAVE STATES the RIGHT to deal with other matters.

Please remember that all the Colonial States were told to Pass their State Constitution BEFORE the Federal Constitution was approved.
