"Guns: For the people"

Bob Confer hit the nail on the head with this one. Congratulations.
The Constitution was written to protect "The People" from the government, not to give the government the means to control us.

CONFER: Guns: For the peopleThe Tonawanda News
"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”
"When it comes to the creation, interpretation and, ultimately, the enforcement of laws wording is everything. "... "The most cherished argument of those against guns is their belief, based upon their bastardization of the wording, that the right to bear arms is a collective one and not a singular one. "..."The maligned “the people” appears throughout the original document, also showing up in amendments 1, 4, 9, and 10. The phrase is used in the same fashion on every occasion."..."The founding fathers rightly knew there are assumed inalienable rights not called-out or covered by the Constitution ... that every person has, rights that were granted to us naturally, be it through the play of the universe or at the controlling hand of God."....
