Doesn’t he have it backwards here? “all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, and need to be.”

Isn’t the constitution to regulate government not the other way around?

Doesn’t he have it backwards here?

Absolutely. Mainly, because there is no such thing as a Constitutional right. We have certain unalienable rights that are protected by our Constitution. It is the first line of defense against those who would try to subjugate We The People.

Even without the Constitution, we would still have them.

You are so right.

That's where the battle begins and ends.

Right now we're losing it, and badly.

All constitutional rights are in some sense limited. You should not have the right to yell "fire!" in a crowded theater and you should not have the right to explode a hand grenade in a crowded theater.

That said, the government has no more right restrict your ability to purchase, own, borrow, rent, store, transport or carry any firearm (much less any box with a spring in it) than to restrict your right to own a telephone or laser printer.
