I'd like to hear from the anti-2A folks what they would like to see as a result of repealing the 2nd. What does this look like to them?
Given that the bulk of them (and, frankly, the bulk of American citizens in general) are not conscious to the idea that the government does not grant rights but rather has a constitution aimed at limiting the usurpation by our government of our endowed rights, I would think they fully believe that repealing 2A would mean the ability to order the destruction of all private weapons post haste.
We have 100% right to health care - no implication that the government supplies it, but it is definitely a right.
We have 100% right to drive on roads - this is not a privilege but a full-fledged right, a right which is justifiably regulated for public safety.
We have a 100% right to watch smutty television - a right which is justifiably regulated for public safety.
We have a right to keep and bear arms - a right which is limited by the laws of using those weapons during a criminal act like murder, rape, robbery, etc.
None of these things have anything to do with the misnamed "Bill of Rights". These rights are endowed to us by our Creator. It is the government's job to not usurp these rights beyond the enumerated powers granted them in the Constitution. Too few people understand and view our government in this light. This is why people say, "show me in the Constitution where you have the right to ______."
