    GIVES citizens the right to bear arms?

    No no no no no no no.

    It should only RECOGNIZE a PRE-EXISTING, NATURAL right to (keep and) bear arms.

    No, the "Bill of Rights" only enumerate pre-existing rights, "God-given" in the words of the authors of the amendments, if memory serves. We the people cannot let anyone get away with the notion that we only have those rights BECAUSE of the U.S. Constitution!

    ..All the Bill of Rights does is lay down what the Govenment can not do!

    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    It doesn't say, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the people have a right to keep and bear arms."...It specifically says what the state may NOT do, infringe on those rights that naturally already exist.

    Interesting how our elected folks don't ever get around much to doing much towards maintaining the freedom of our free state, or what that even is.
