Read the whole post.

"the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

Read the words. What to they say? They imply there's a pre-existing right to bear arms, and not a right being given by the 2nd amendment -- As much of the Constitution is written to protect the people from the government.

The Declaration tells us where we get the Right to Keep and Bear Arms - from our Creator.

vortigern is correct.

Essentially correct. The Constitution only enshrines some of our rights. It is a dangerous and slippery path to believe that our rights come from a piece of paper. It is what liberals want us all to believe. Don't fall for it.
