It should always be noted that the Bill of Rights (including the Second Amendment) does not grant the people any rights or prohibit the people from any acts. The Bill of Rights was enacted solely to further restrict the already limited federal government from ever attempting to take certain inalienable rights from the people.
Unfortunately, the Constitution now says whatever the Hell five out of nine Supreme Court Justices currently want it to say.
Concur. In all cases, the language of the Bill of Rights strongly implies rights already in existence, enjoyed by We the People. In all cases, the language of the Bill of Rights is that of prohibition directed toward government entities.
