"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.

Laz...that's in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

I'm even more surprised at the fact that you can't tell the Constitution apart from the Declaration of Independence, and how they relate to our laws.
