    To which post were you referring? The Examiner article takes people to task for stating the “the Second Amendment “gives” citizens the right to bear arms.” The author even references Heller in the article, while destroying that premise:

    “That a fundamental right is treated as a stigmatized vice should be no surprise—after all, the White House makes no secret of how they wish for us to perceive it, and how they will lie to us to ensure that perception:

    The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.

    “Lie” is not too strong a word. They know that’s not a true statement. From District of Columbia v. Heller:

    The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall not be infringed.” As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876) , “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed … .”

    So we have proven liars who admit their intent is to “brainwash” the citizenry into rejecting their rights, and who intentionally deceive on the nature of those rights and their ability to usurp them: after all, if permission is required, that which can be granted can be withheld.”
