Pop quiz. Close your books

Robert, the second amendment guarantees a right to individuals. Rights only accrue to indivduals. Powers and privileges accrue to individuals, states and the federal government.

The first clue in the second amendment that should have tipped you off is the word "right". The second clue would have been the failure of the 2A to mention Congress or the States.

Being clueless, I guess you just didn't figure those issues out. I would suggest you use an open book next time.

I agree. But the RKBA is not an inalienable right -- it may be regulated.
