The first ten Amendments of the Constitution were done to secure the rights of the people to be free from the tyranny of the state. Only the left-wing says the 2nd Amendment was for the many and not the one.

The left has a creative way of intergreting the constitution; even though the language has been carefully crafted to leave nothing open to interpretation. I guess the forfathers didn't count on future generations twisting the English language. (i.e. "I did not have sex with that woman...It depends on how you define 'sex'.")

In essense you are right but the tenth amendment secures the rights of the states over the feds. It's a minor point but be prepared for it if you want to argue this case.
