“Hmm, except that the Second Amendment sorta/kinda guarantees your right to bear arms regardless of how those politicians feel...not so much on your ‘right’ to smoke weed, snort coke, inject heroin, etc.”

It enumerates a god-given right.

Even without the BOR, we would have the right.

After all, it is we who grant power to the Government, not the Government which grants rights to us!

"It enumerates a god-given right."

Then god must have been pretty selective in that the Founding Fathers didn't think the right to keep and bear arms was protected for slaves. Or women. Or the Indians. Or foreigners. Or any non-citizen.

I thought a God-given right (like life or liberty) extended to every human being, not a select group.
