Believe it or not, the head of the Tampa ACLU, a former intelligence officer, argued in an article that gun laws are unconstitutional under the ninth amendment. I haven't read the article but I would like to find it. A lawyer friend of mine mentioned it to me and I've never considered the issue from that view.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

So that would give me to believe that the Tampa ACLU thinks ownership of implements of self defense are a natural right...i.e. a right that cannot be legislated on.

What do you think?
