"Because they said the “...right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms....”

"The people" doesn't mean everyone. When the Founders meant everyone they wrote "persons".

If you had read US v Heller, the DC Circuit Court defined who "the people" were. And it wasn't everyone. It wasn't even every citizen.

You need to get yourself on firmer ground before you start throwing around words like "stupid".

Arguing over the meaning of any specific word in the Constitution is ludicrous...the Constitution has long since been proved to be meaningless..it's a living document, dont’cha know.

In what parts of the Constitution does the phrase "the people" not include all free citizens who are eligible to vote?
