No, it doesn't. It protects a previously existing right. But I'm sure that subtlety is lost on the folks as USA Today, so I clicked yes.

It’s really a poll on whether people like Adobe Flash or not.

Man has always had the right to defend himself.

The Bill of Rights were all "individual rights" accept this one?

Why is the SC even considering the Second Amendment? The right is inalienable.

If the SC chooses to do so, then let them consider the entire Const.

Trick question.

The Second Amendment does not give us the right to keep and bear arms, but enumerates it as a protected individual right under the Constitution.

If it gave the right, then to take the right away it would only need to be repealed.

What the amendment means and how it’s written is VERY straight foreword despite lawyers and liberal intellectuals who “try” to inject their world view by adding layers of revisionist interpretations of those words in the Constitution.

When you ask most people in the most basic terms what the second amendment means you will surely get an overwhelming result in favor of the “right to bear arms.” The goal of the gun control advocate is to legislate de facto gun control through a thousand little bureaucratic and legal paper cuts. Assault weapon bans, licensing fees, polemics with who the Constitution is referred too when speaking about a “militia,” age restriction, ammunition restriction, licensing fees, mandatory training, gun free zones and and and. They have been vastly successful.
