That's just it, they don't consider the right to self defense/right to keep and bear arms to actually be a right -- human, constitutional or otherwise. They consider it a mistake made by ignorant savages long in the past or at best an anachronism that needs to be got rid of now that we have civilization and all. The problem is that if we really were as civilized as that, the police would be out of work for lack of things to do and our prisons would be empty except for the custodial staff.

It doesnt matter what they think. The right exists as per the 2A. Shall not be infringed is so simple a 6 year old can understand it. Trouble is most people choose not to understand it.
