Mordue held that Bach could not allege a constitutional right to bear arms because the "Second Amendment is not a source of individual rights."
Funny, I thought our country was founded on the idea that individual rights come from God and that government exists only to protect those rights, not to infringe on them. I've got their individual rights ...

Amen!
Of course the Federal government DOES give me the right to work 70-80 hours a week to keep my small business afloat, while at the same time setting aside 1 BILLION dollars of taxpayer money to cover emergency room visits of ILLEGAL immigrants!

What I don't understand is how people can argue that every other amendment gives individual rights, BUT NOT THE 2ND.

I've got their individual rights ...Where have you been? We all know that rights are bestowed upon us by our government, which we all serve! That way, government can do what it will, whenever it suits our masters!
What government gives, government can take away.
