The Post accused the National Rifle Association and the Bush administration's Justice Department of trying "to broadly reinterpret the Constitution so as to give individuals Second Amendment rights."

Rights are not granted by the Constitution, they are acknowledged to be preexisting.

[Jeff Head]

They're mad because their interpretation, which has patently nothing to do with the framer's intent, or the actual meaning of the constitution, is now going back to what every American knew it meant for the first 150 years of this nation's existance.

The Washington Post's interpretation along with Hand Gun Inc.'s and every other gun grabber, has everything to do with literally changing the constitution away from the Free Republic it was intended to be, and into the socio-marxist construct they want to replace it with...which is exactly why the second amendment was enumerated in the first place, and which is exactly what they fear.

They know it, and we know it.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Rights are not granted by the Constitution, they are acknowledged to be preexisting.

Bears repeating.
The Constitution is merely a document that outlines the limits to be placed on government. Not a document that grants any rights whatsoever.

How sad that so many have forgotten or never learned this simple fact.

[Little Ray]

The Constitution was never intended to "grant" rights. It defines the powers of the Federal Government.

Never doubted it for a second.
