Why would the government write an amendment to the constitution to give itself the right to keep and bear arms, a power it clearly has already?

The entirety of the Bill of Rights addresses individual rights except, if leftists are to be believed, the second amendment which they maintain is meant for the government. Never mind that goverments don't have rights, they have powers.

Leftists also ignore that the second amendments specifically says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". It does NOT say "the right of the militia", it says the people. The founders weren't retards, if they had meant the militia they'd have said it.

The idea that the second amendment does not guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms is assinine, someone has to be completely obtuse to even make that argument.

No, they are not obtuse. They simply want to disarm YOU. They think they are protected by the police or they have private security. You? Psst. You are a peasant.
