So someone who has acquired arms can keep and bear them on or in your real property, store, tavern, etc whether you agree or not since you didn't put a limit on the right.

You wanted an exegesis on the entire Bill of Rights? Why didn't you say so?

What if they acquired them illegally, as in "stole them"? Does the right to keep and bear arms include the right to keep and bear arms that one has acquired by theft? Or is that excluded from the right?

If you think anyone has a right to steal then we no basis for a discussion on rights.

For now I'm just concerned with the words "The right of the people to keep and bear arms" and maybe anything else in the BOR that might be pertinent like “The right of citizens of the United States to vote…”.

Why didn't you say so?

Well I did ask "What exactly is the right written about above? What is the definition, or meaning or description of that right?"

I see that as an evasion. I didn't say anyone has a right to steal. I'm fully aware that if your children are trapped in a wrecked car that is starting to burn, no one has the right to take without permission the fire extinguisher of a person who is not present and put the fire out before it becomes a conflagration that consumes your children, and the car.
