I’m not quite sure what you mean there, strike. But I will say this. A private individual cannot violate the 2A, or any of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was meant to protect folks against government overreach, and not against the behavior of private individuals.
For example, a government agent cannot search my child’s room without a search warrant. Doing so would violate my child’s 4A rights.
But I sure can search my child’s room without a warrant. And if I have good reason to do so, I will.
I believe a right usually obliges the government not only to not violate the people’s legal right itself, but to affirm the right and oppose anyone else who is interfering with the exercise of the right.
Unless it is specifically worded to limit its scope, for instance “Congress shall make no law…”.
Think of how vacuous a right of the people is when the government doesn’t defend it, in word and deeds, for instance the right to ownership of property.
Sometimes you do what has to be done, and no jury would convict you, but you are on slippery ground.
