It shall not be permitted to possess, bear, buy, or sell arms except on licensure issued in accordance with the law.

This one caught my eye. Glad our Founding Fathers knew better.

In defense of Bremmer, the right to bear arms only works with a lawful, middle class, moral, self-ruling citizenry. Many socities have been heavily armed, but those arms are used for gangs, warlords, extortion. The right to bear arms does not refer to societies like that.

Only in the more politically developed societies, does the right to bear arms (the legal right to defend oneself) bring liberty and develop the midset of self-reliance.
