Good post. Our Constitution grants the right to bear arms to American citizens.

Our rights must be protected. If other nations want that right, they need to fight for it and work to keep it.

That is our business. The rest of the world is their business.

I do NOT agree. It guarantees the protection of a right that exists whether the Constitution exists or not. Nowhere does it suggest that said right is exclusive to American Citizens.

Natural rights are granted by God.

The Contitution was written to keep government from infringing on those rights.

The Constitution is a grant of POWER to the federal government by the states.

That's all it is. A document to form and LIMIT the powers of a federal government.

Listing some rights is in no way meant to restrict the rights of the people, or the states.
