I think it is pretty obvious that the Constitution makes a distinction between the rights of the Federal Government, the rights of the states and the rights of individuals and that it is pretty clear in the Second Amendment that this is an individual right.

Yet many libs, judges, attorneys and even some so-called “conservatives” - even in this forum think otherwise.

Actually the Constitution NEVER indicates that governments, federal, state or local, have rights. They are only indicated as having powers. People, that is individuals, are said to have both rights and powers. Compare and contrast the 9th and 10th amendments.
