The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America does not give anyone anything. The Second Amendment affirms and acknowledges that we Americans are born with this right (God given, should you want to go down that road) and that the government of the United States of America shall not infringe upon that right. The men who wrote these words knew better than to trust the people the rest of us would elected to represent all Americans. They put their best effort into insuring that we could forever defend ourselves from those we elect to govern us.

Some smart, for a bunch of guys who wore wigs.
