I think you have mixed up the writ of habeas corpus with the right to keep and bear arms. The right of an imprisoned person to access to the courts MAY be suspended - that is what suspension of habeas corpus is - but the suspension must be by Congress, and then the suspension will be respected (by the courts) only if the suspension is justified by rebellion or insurrection.

Of course the guns are taken from those jailed. But this has no effect whatsoever on the rights of the non-jailed people.

I know the whole thing, but i could have sworn Lincoln suspended habeus Corpus for the very reasons I have explained. Am i wrong?
