Our RKBA's is protected from infringement in the 2nd Amendment, and the 9th makes clear that all other rights not enumerated are "retained by the people".

I didn't say it was Constitutional. Nonetheless, it's a right anyway. Just because it isn't specifically written down means nothing. EVERY living thing has and exercises that right. From grass (deep roots) to trees (thick bark) to bees (stingers) and the various levels of camouflage, teeth, claw and large brained, tool using Humans.

"There is no Constitutional right to self defense."

Are you really saying that if someone wants to batter you, you don't have the right to defend yourself?

You are an ass.

"There is no Constitutional right to self defense."

Incorrect. The Preamble clearly states that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights: The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Two of three of those inalienable rights are denied without the simple ability to defend yourself.

Additionally, all life forms have the common sense to defend themselves. It is a universal trait among the living. It has been, and will be in perpetuity, a Natural Law.

I'm very surprised to see you write that sentence.
