The Second Amendment of the Constitution, included in our Bill of Rights (1791) was enacted in the wake of the War of Independence from Britain fought against a mentally deranged monarch and a Parliament that extorted taxes without representation. In the shadow of such tyranny and the absence of a standing army, the amendment granted citizens the right to bear arms as part of a "well-regulated militia", should that become necessary. The sound logic underlying that edict eroded when the United States developed the largest and best equipped standing army on the globe, supported by a voluntary, well-trained and occasionally mobilized reserve.

The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans. The Constitution doesn’t create that right – it ensures that the government can’t take it away.

So, did you get that, Barry Blackwell?
The Constitution doesn't create the Natural Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
As described in the Declaration of Independence, we as free men and women are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, including the Natural Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Blackwell is a Declaration denier, apparently.
He is also, without any form of mitigation, a first class dunce...

See the final two sentences of post #60 regarding the law-abiding part. If they shouldn't be armed, they shouldn't be running around loose.
