The Constitution does not confer rights and the rights listed are not to be interpeted as denying any other God given rights.

Neither did the Constitution strip the states, counties and municipalities of their inherent police powers over public safety issues.

Owning a dog is a God given right.

By your "logic", owning a rabid dog is a God given right.

"If, however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death."

Using your brain is a God given right too, exercise it!

I see no law banning oxen to prevent future, theoretical gorings.
