You really don’t get what the Bill of Rights is about don’t you? Those rights are enumerated, that means they pre-exist. They are there because you are born.
Naw, this is where you are confused. There are no "Rights". There are the privileges that the rest of society thinks you should have. Any fool who thinks he has "god-given rights" should look up Japanese Americans, 1942.
For most of our history, guns have been regulated because, hey, to just let any crazy nut have a gun would be foolish. That was before the gun industry realized that when people didn't want to shoot helpless animals for fun anymore, the crazy gun nuts were their key market.
The fact that abuses of our Rights by our government occurred is immaterial to the fact that the GOVERNMENT ABUSED our RIGHTS.
Thanks for stating the obvious.
