Absolutely nailed it with your title.

I do not understand why this ever came up. None of the other of the Big Ten are ever questioned as to whether they are individual or collective rights. Since the founding fathers were so concerned about any possible future manipulation of Number 2 they placed special verbage in there to clarify it. “...shall not be infringed.” That is pretty simple for most level headed people. The big however comes when you are an arogant, elitist, liberal, dim-o-crap, communist, socialist and want to ultimately exercise total control over both my money and my very existence. I must restate that which has been said before.....I cannot trust any government which refuses to trust me with my guns.
