Anyone who doesn’t work for the government, and to a lesser extent, even those people as respects their private lives, because they’re citizens too.

Thank you for your response. Because you had the guts to answer (unlike some of the spineless wonders on this thread), I'll be nice.

When the second amendment was written, it only protected the right for white male citizens, 18-45 years of age. Non-whites (slaves) were not protected. Non-citizens, women, and children were not protected under the second amendment.

"The people" in the second amendment did not mean "all persons". When the Founding Fathers wanted to protect the right of an individual, they referred to "person", or "citizen" or "he/him".
