The clear words of the 2nd support the peoples position. - Our rights to keep & bear arms shall not be infringed.

The only place in the Constitution where you could find a right to bring firearms onto others' property is in the infamous penumbra.

And courts have ruled in hundreds, if not thousands, of cases that the Constitutional prohibitions against infringements of rights applies to government action only.

And, of course, SCOTUS has never actually ruled on whether the 2nd Amendment recognizes an individual right to bear arms, but that's a discussion for a different day.






No, this day is just fine, --- seeing that you've made it quite evident that you don't agree our RKBA's is an
individual right.


Your belief:
"courts have ruled in hundreds, if not thousands, of cases that the Constitutional prohibitions against infringements of rights applies to government action only" --- is flawed by the words of the Constitution itself.

The 'peoples' rights can be [and are], infringed by any one or any organization.
It is the governments prime duty to defend our rights.

I have never said nor implied that.
