The Constitution provides the right to bear arms. However, just because there is a right, doesn't mean there are no limitations to the right.

I understand what you are saying, I think. One last question and then I will quit. Does the Constitution provide the right to keep and bear arms because of the need for a well regulated militia?

I understand what you are saying, I think. One last question and then I will quit. Does the Constitution provide the right to keep and bear arms because of the need for a well regulated militia? I believe that was the original purpose, based on the historical context at that time. Since the threat was more immediate with the British soldiers, they wanted people to be able to defend their freedom and property against the British government and the replacement American government, to avoid having the same oppression in the future.
