So the second amendment does NOT protect the right of all individuals as you previously said it did. It only protects the right of U.S. citizens, correct? Felons? Prisoners? The insane? 3-year-olds? They're all citizens.
Did it always protect the right of U.S. citizens? When it was ratified in 1791, did it protect the right of women to keep and bear arms? Non-whites? Children?
You're getting closer to the truth.
(Oh, our U.S. Constitution protects a number of rights for non-citizens -- 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th amendment rights are protected for all persons. The inalienable right to life and liberty are protected for all persons.)
It protects the peoples right to bear arms. Do you think the founding fathers were referring to law abiding citizen’s or do you think they were referring to felons and the like when they said the we the people? I believe they are referring to law abiding citizen when they say the people.
