I have been posting since the 1990’s first under another name then when I changed computers under my present name. I have regularly posted what is said about not posting for 13 years is simply not true and is easily checked.

When did you first suffer from brain damage?

If you have been posting since the 1990's then you would know that hawking for gun control is not going to go over well on Free Republic.

I can only conclude that you are a troll or someone has overlooked your liberal gun grabbing tendencies for 15 years or more.

The second amendment applies to all citizens, not just those to whom the government grants permits.

Now are you done here, or are you itching to be zotted?

I agree with you, yes it applies to all citizens, no permit needed

The 2nd Amendment is the ‘permit’ and the admonishment to the government to not mess with it:

“the right of the people to keep and —bear— arms shall —not— be infringed”

bear, as in —carry—, have on one’s person.

The gun and the ammo, together.

Just for the record, I have the right to keep weapons to defend myself from God. All the 2nd amendment does is say the government can’t interfere with that right. It doesn’t ‘grant’ me that right.
