As for the 2A giving us vs. recognizing our RTKBA, I am of the opinion that rights are legal contrivances. There are many parts of the world which have no historical precedent for these supposedly "god given" rights like jury trials and self-defense that we value (try shooting someone in Canada for any reason and see what happens. You'll get a jury trial, but they will not recognize your right to bear arms for anything other than hunting or the olympics, say). Write a letter to the paper (if there are any left) complaining of the plight of Buddhist monks in Burma and see how they go about redressing your grievances.
Either that or god plays favorites. JMO.
