“Specifically, the English Bill of Rights of 1689 codified what was regarded as a natural right to self-defense.”
I wonder what happened to THEIR Bill of Rights that got them so far weened off of guns? But there is an obvious warning (if the last 70 years hasn’t been enough of a warning) - those God-given rights CAN be reduced/taken away by evil people in government.
