You asked what sort of right it was. False premise.

“It’s not a right, it’s not even the source the right. It’s a restriction on federal powers.”

Your statement that the 2nd Amendment is not a right is complete BS. For many years, the left and right have argued over whether it is collective or individual right. That is the soul of the argument. Around 99% of those on FR correctly believe it is an individual right. Even the lowest of leftist scum would acknowledge that it is a right, albeit a collective right that they can restrict. Since according to your logic I have no “RIGHT” to bear arms, yours’ seems a thinly veiled attempt to create new avenues for the left to attack the 2nd Amendment. I even see where you have called folks on here as “leftist” and “against the constitution” when all those you criticize believe that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right that cannot be taken away by the states. Do us a favor, either start taking your meds or get the hell out of here.

The right preexisted the restriction. Did you think that the American Revolution was fought with sticks and stones?
