Rights of the individual are not enumerated in the U. S. Constitution.

The rights of the federal government are enumerated. Every other right which might surface was supposed to belong to the people.

So, this ongoing argument is moot, because the federal government was only granted certain limited powers.

Of course, if the people do not act to preserve their nearly unlimited rights, government will inevitably step in to "fix" that.

The framers knew this.

“...right to “bear” arms for self-defense...”

I’d like to know where they get the idea that the Second Amendment is only about self-defense?

I seem to recall the Third Amendment is specifically about one’s house, and doesn’t apply, to, for instance, one’s barn. Which actually strengthens the argument that the Second Amendment is not limited to one’s home, since the Founders could easily have included the words “within a citizen’s home”, but did not.
